The Garden Barn, located in Peterchurch, Herefordshire, is a beautifully restored retreat that comfortably accommodates up to eight guests. Nestled within the grounds of the historic Grade I listed Wellbrook Manor, dating back to 1374, this property has been thoughtfully renovated to provide a blend of modern comforts and historical charm. The layout features much of the accommodation on the ground floor, including a practical hallway/boot room, two of the four bedrooms situated in the original stable area, and an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining space that fosters a warm and inviting atmosphere.
The heart of the home is the spacious dining area, which comfortably seats eight, and the cozy sitting room, centered around a delightful wood-burning stove. Guests will appreciate the luxurious underfloor heating that ensures a welcoming environment throughout the year.
