Broomfield is a handsome Grade II Listed Georgian gem of Italianate style, with part of the house dating back to the 1750s with later additions in the early nineteenth century.

Overlooking the beautiful Wye Valley and set in around five acres and with 8682 sq.ft of living accommodation, the main house has four reception rooms, seven en-suite bedrooms and there is a self-contained annexe which has a reception room and three en-suite bedrooms.

The house retains many of its original features with plaster ceiling cornices, magnificent fireplaces, polished wooden floors and shuttered sash windows and the remains of the Hay to Brecon Tramway which operated from 1816 to 1864 runs to the rear of the house.

Broomfield, which was sympathetically renovated and refurbished over recent years, is occasionally used as a boutique guest house offering luxury accommodation and bed and breakfast with guest suites in the main house and further suites in east wing self-contained annexe.

 

The house is set in attractive grounds that include formal gardens, large patio areas that are perfect for outdoor entertaining and alfresco dining, a large productive walled garden and woodland that features idyllic walkways. The property enjoys two separate drives that lead up the front of the house to a large front courtyard with ample parking area.

An elegant portico entrance leads to double doors with a glazed fanlight over.

This opens into an impressive reception hall with doors leading off to all of the principal reception rooms.

On the right is the formal dining room with a double aspect enjoying views across the valley and gardens together with a French door that opens out onto the side garden. On the left of the hall is the large drawing room with two large sash windows overlooking the valley that is perfect for entertaining guests.

A rear hall leads off the reception hall to the accommodation that includes a library, cloakroom and the kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke fitted units and a flagstone floor.

A staircase leads off the ground floor near the kitchen to an impressive cellar with four dedicated storage areas. The ground floor accommodation in the main house is completed by a useful study that is situated adjacent to the drawing room.

Two separate staircases serve the main house with access to the first and second floors with the principal staircase and the old secondary servant’s staircase.

 

There are a number of useful outbuildings at the property including a garage area between the main house and the east wing annexe, original coach house, garden studio and a large garden store.

Broomfield is in an elevated position commanding stunning views across the Wye Valley and the hillsides beyond.

The house is located on the edge of the traditional village of Glasbury-on-Wye where there is a church, primary school, village hall, pubs and garage and the beautiful and historic town of Hay-on-Wye is around five miles away.
