Description The Hayes is a Jacobean house built in a cruciform shape centred on a large chimneystack. Built in Sweeney mountain sandstone the property is set amongst well presented gardens, stables, double garaging and a range of outbuildings which provides further accommodation. The Hayes comprises many spacious panelled rooms including original features such as large fireplaces dating from 1656 by Ralph Davenport. The fireplaces boast intricate carving including some which is reputed to have come from Ludlow Castle. With the chimney stack providing the centre of the house the rooms link into each other fluently while many of the main rooms have smaller rooms off which could be used as office space, storage or even converted into en suites. Accommodation The Hayes is approached via a sweeping tarmac drive through woodland, opening up into paddocks and gardens. The drive brings you to the front of the house which is then accessed by a series of stone steps leading up to the heavily studded oak door. The panelled entrance hall leads through to the drawing room, downstairs cloakroom, WC and reception hallway. The ground floor accommodation forms a loop of rooms, where many of the original architectural features have been retained. From the left of the entrance hall through an original oak door is a large panelled drawing room with a bay window enjoying views over the garden. There is a stone fireplace and steps up to the dining room, benefiting from views of two aspects over the garden, and to the countryside beyond. The Coach House Flat
The kitchen is accessed through the dining room and loops back into the secondary hallway, also benefiting from oak panelling where a discrete door opens into a small study with a tall window that enjoys views down the drive. The Hayes has extensive cellars which are accessed from a staircase to the side of the kitchen. A utility room with Belfast sink and back door giving access to the garden and leads through to a brick floored room with the original range still in-situ. There is a further limestone flagged cellar area which still has raised slate work surfaces and behind it further storage space. This area could offer the potential (subject to the necessary planning requirements) to create a large family kitchen/ living area. The upstairs accommodation is accessed via a solid oak staircase, a Victorian addition, in the reception hall. Well lit by a stone mullioned bay window this leads to the first floor landing which is panelled floor to ceiling with oak and leads to three principal bedrooms. The master bedroom has a working fireplace and enjoys light from its bay window and two additional side windows with views over the gardens. A door hidden in the panelling leads to a walk-in wardrobe, while another opens onto shelving. There is a guest bedroom with en suite shower room, further bedroom with dressing room and a family bathroom on this floor. The oak staircase continues up to the second floor where there are three further bedrooms and family bathroom with a freestanding bath. Block Outbuildings A converted coach house to the side of the principal house has been converted to provide two separate residences along with ample storage space. To one end is The Cottage; a two storey cottage with living room, dining kitchen, two bedrooms and bathroom.

Gardens The Hayes has a rich array of gardens in its own private position with many mature trees surrounding.
