The Hop Kiln, Monkland nr Leominster

About this property

The Hop Kiln at Wall End Farm is a fabulous two bedroom, two bathroom property, set on the border of North Herefordshire and South Shropshire.

Formerly a working kiln, The Hop Kiln has been tastefully converted to create a spacious and unique holiday let. The property is set adjacent to a working farm on the North Herefordshire and South Shropshire border. The owners have beautifully renovated the property by carefully maintaining the exposed beams and brickwork, while perfectly forging a modern and stylish home from home. The property also has views over the cider apple orchard and across the glorious and enclosed lawned garden. There is plenty of space inside and out to be enjoyed with family and friends.

The Hop Kiln is set in deep countryside which is ideal for avid walkers and cyclists, there is an array of country pubs and restaurants close by as well as numerous apple and cider distilleries. Within 2 miles there are also several supermarkets and local amenities, you can also enjoy a short walk into the village where there is a working dairy producing and selling local, artisan cheeses. They also run a Tea Room where you can get an excellent coffee, proper leafed tea, homemade cakes and light lunches.
