[Ht 3 ‘5'»: 000 nd hereiordtimescom Thursday, January 28, 2016 THE HEREFORD TIMES 73 i \ Ai 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. ‘ ~ k AN'ZSZ. ‘ 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.

"the separate cottage has its own entrance and provides space for an extended family or provides an income if required.
