Acres of apple orchards encircle this beautiful converted barn.

Both levels of the spectacular home include two bedrooms as well as one reception room, offering a versatile layout that could perfectly suit multi-generational living.
Location
Linton is a picturesque village, roughly five miles from Ross-on-Wye, a popular market town that offers a good variety of supermarkets, shops, restaurants, leisure facilities and highly-regarded schools.
A grand 13th-century church stands in the centre of Linton and the Alma Inn, a family-run pub, is a short distance away. In 2021, this was recently crowned pub of the year by Herefordshire's branch of the Campaign for Real Ale (camra) - and this accolade marked the third time that the inn has earned this award since the current landlords took over in 2015. Each June, the Alma Inn hosts the Linton Festival, a three-day long music festival and, later in the year, the pub also stages the one-day-long Linton Summer Sessions. Both events raise money for various charities, most of which benefit the local community.
There is a second popular pub within walking distance of Linton; The Penny Farthing Inn, a 17th-century pub and restaurant is situated in the neighbouring village of Aston Crews just over a mile away and this establishment frequently attracts rave reviews for its food.
There is a hive of activity throughout the year in this lively village– for instance; a wine club launched at the village hall in October 2021 and this venue regularly hosts a plethora of other events such as community lunches, yoga classes, live music, and much more. In addition to this, there are community-spirited initiatives around Linton year-round such as litter picks and, each Hallowe'en, the villagers all come together to create a spooky display; the residents all carve Jack-o-Lanterns and these pumpkins are put on display in the centre of the village for visitors to admire.
Linton is also within easy reach of amenities: The South Herefordshire Golf course is less than a mile away and the village of Gorsley is just over a mile away. This setting boasts a shop, coffee house, public house, play area, recreation ground and Gorsley Goffs Primary School, which is rated 'Good' by Ofsted. The village of Lea, two miles away, also offers a village store, garage and Church of England primary school which is graded 'Good' by Ofsted.
The M50 motorway is approximately one mile away and provides excellent commuter links to the M5 giving good access to Birmingham, the North, Bristol and the South. The A40, three miles away, leads to the M4 at Newport, giving good access to Cardiff, Wales and the South.
The home at a glance
This spacious home is set within a small but welcoming community. The idyllic setting is untouched by any sound or light pollution, therefore the tranquil spot is a real tonic for a person's health and well-being.
Believed to date back to the 17th century, this former stable and cider barn was converted to impeccable standards by the present owners in 2010, who have nurtured a plethora of charming period details; all the internal doors are made from solid oak and feature black antique ironmongery, there are exposed sandstone walls, ceiling trusses, wooden beams and a solid oak floor which flows throughout the property.
The main entrance leads into a beautiful reception hall which immediately sets the scene for the immaculately presented country home; it carries a flagstone floor and two exposed sandstone walls. A wealth of natural light plus a showstopping vista of the surrounding orchards cascades into this space through full-height windows.
The heart of the home - a triple-aspect country kitchen - lies to the right. This includes plenty of floor-and-eye level wooden units handpainted in a chic, light-blue Farrow and Ball paint which accentuates the oak worktops and exposed beams beautifully. There is also an impressive electric range cooker, a double Belfast sink and an integrated fridge/freezer and dishwasher.
To the left of the reception hall, there is a removable ramp leading into the accommodation beyond. Both the ground-floor sitting room and largest bedroom on this level of the property feature full-height windows and glass doors which lead out to the beautifully kept front garden. There are also ceiling hoists around both rooms and - as the bedroom includes waterproof laminate flooring and an adjacent wetroom with a dual-headed shower - this offers a perfect set-up for less mobile family members. This level of the barn also includes another bedroom which has a bijou alcove for storage and there is also a boiler room-cum-utility which presents a warm space to air-dry laundry.
The solid oak staircase - which also features antique ironmongery details - leads to the top floor. On this level of the home, there is a magnificent sitting room which boasts a vaulted ceiling, exposed trusses and a wood-burning stove which provides a cosy atmosphere. There is a wood storage cupboard to the left of the stove which displays slices of logs over the door, giving the illusion of an intricately stacked pile of timber. Light pours into this dual-aspect space through skylights and windows, one of which is in place of an old stable door. One side of the room overlooks the surrounding orchards while the other faces Linton Ridge.
The master bedroom is another capacious, triple-aspect space which boasts built-in double wardrobes, exhibits arrow-slit windows and frames the same enchanting landscapes as the principal sitting room. The room also carries a pitched, lightly timbered ceiling and there are glass blocks on the walls surrounding the en-suite shower room which features a shower with a drench head, a two-piece suite, mosaic stone tiles and a heated mirror.
This level of the home also includes another double bedroom with a pitched, timbered ceiling and a half-height built-in storage cupboard which presents a large shelf to display pretty trinkets.
The family bathroom includes a walk-in corner shower, a double-ended bath, a two-piece white suite and a heated mirror.
Outside, the garden wraps around the property and is low-maintenance. At the front of the property, there is a small, level lawn, a wooden deck and a concrete standing for a hot tub. At the rear, there is a private spot for an outdoor living room which overlooks the apple orchards. The space is beautified even further by a lovely rockery.
In terms of parking facilities, there is a double carport with a secure workshop which has roller shutters.
