The Property
The Gatehouse is a striking Grade II listed property located just outside Goodrich, recently named Herefordshire’s “poshest village” by The Telegraph. The nearby River Wye, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, offers woodland walks, canoeing, cycling, climbing and caving. Built around 1830 as the entrance to Goodrich House, the Gatehouse remains one of several surviving estate buildings. The original manor has long since been demolished, but many estate features, including mature deer park trees, remain. The property was sympathetically extended in the 1970s and 1980s, adding the kitchen, basement room, double garage and lounge, all blending seamlessly with the original stonework. Approached via a private road with farmland alongside, the property offers parking for up to six vehicles, plus additional unused space at the bottom of the garden. Arranged over five floors, the home provides 16 rooms plus a workshop, garage and useful storage areas, offering flexible accommodation for family life, entertaining or home working. Character features include round towers with curved walls, a spiral staircase, original gate and doors, gothic-arched and arrow-slit windows. Modern benefits include triple glazing throughout, three bathrooms, an additional WC, a block-paved courtyard and a double garage (5.1m x 6.75m). The lounge opens onto a balcony with far-reaching views across neighbouring fields, home to buzzards, red kites and other wildlife. The secure courtyard is enclosed by two farm gates, while the garden includes a separate fenced area. Accommodation includes a tiled basement room and shower room; kitchen; dining room with hardwood flooring and portcullis-style windows; snug; lounge with wood burner; four bedrooms featuring gothic windows, curved walls and fitted storage; a family bathroom; and a characterful attic room with exposed beams, curved walls and a separate spiral staircase.
