Winforton Court is a substantial and stunning
period house with a long history dating back, we
understand, to the 15th Century. The village ofWinforton
lies in the heart of the Wye Valley and is surrounded by
open countryside yet within easy striking distance of
the ever popular market town of Hay on Wye (4 miles),
which attracts visitors from all over the world.
A very versatile and Iargefamily house with the
option to run a boutique bed and breakfast
On arrival at Winforton Court, it is obvious it has been
greatly cared for by the existing owners who have worked
hard to retain and preserve the integrity of this lovely
Grade II Listed house. The accommodation is beautifully
presented throughout and offers not just space for a large
family but also the opportunity to run a very successful
and welcoming boutique bed and breakfast, which itself
has been regularly featured in a number of lifestyle
magazines. The house oozes character with nooks and
crannies on every floor and a whole host of period
features from inglenook fireplaces to flagstone floors, yet
despite its size and character it feels very comfortable and
inviting throughout.

From the centre of the village wrought iron gates lead
you into a gravelled courtyard, which provides extensive
parking and gives access to both the main house and the
coach house. The main reception rooms are large with
high ceilings and include a very impressive drawing
room, sitting room and dining room, as well as the main
reception hall and ‘The Long Gallery‘ 40812: which
has doubled as a function room, with its own shower
room/cloakroom. Forming the main hub of the house
is a wonderful farmhouse kitchen, which just invites
you to sit down and drink coffee! A snug offers space
for teenagers or tired parents to tuck themselves away
when necessary. There are six main bedrooms, many
with en suite facilities with a second floor otfering plenty
of additional accommodation supportedby a luxury
bathroom.
"the separate cottage has its own entrance and provides
space for an extended family or provides an income if
required. 'lhe main gardens are south facing and well
established with a delightful courtyard and further
compliment the house.
In our view \N'inforton Court is a lovely family house
in its own right. However, the owners have also created
a luxury Bed &amp; Breakfast, which otters excellent
commercial potential. But don't just take our word for
how good the B&amp;B is, check its rating on 'l‘ripAdvisor for
yourself.
