Natural Materials and Cozy Spaces in a 19th-Century Tudor-Gothic Country House

Tucked into the rolling Herefordshire countryside in the village of Staunton-on-Wye, this beautifully preserved historic home features characterful living spaces, five bedrooms, and an acre of gardens.

Originally built in the 1860s, the house has been thoughtfully restored by its current owners, who have introduced a refined palette of natural materials and muted colors that complement its Tudor Gothic architecture.

Wide casement windows frame uninterrupted views across the surrounding landscape, and its location is perfect for exploring the Wye Valley, combining a rural location with rich architectural history.

The house was designed by architects Fulljames and Waller and commissioned by the Jarvis Educational Foundation as an ancillary building to the nearby boarding school.

Known as The Store House, the building served as a residence for the charity clerk, among others. Its Tudor Gothic architecture is characterized by a handsome red-brick facade with stone dressings and elegant mullion-transom windows, lending a stately presence.

The charming living room is centered around a Turnberry log burner set within the original brick hearth.

Throughout the house, carefully restored details sit alongside subtle contemporary updates, creating interiors that feel both timeless and deeply lived-in.

The house has two entrances on the ground floor. This entry is not used, so the hall has been turned into a library space with floor-to-ceiling bookshelves and a desk.

The kitchen is warm and understated, with Shaker-style cabinets, original floorboards, and wide casement windows overlooking the gardens.

The period character is paired with practical amenities such as a range cooker and an integrated dishwasher. The large wooden table in the center of the space becomes the natural gathering point during the day.

The first floor is home to three double bedrooms, each with tall casement windows and serene views of the surrounding landscape.

The family bathroom on this floor is designed in an understated but beautiful design with gray walls, white tiles, and skirting under the bath, adding texture.

The master bedroom is on the top floor, with a distinctive triangular window that offers far-reaching countryside views.

A small, stone-mullioned window overlooks the front garden.

The second bedroom on this floor is decorated as a cozy snug with layered, neutral-toned textiles and beautiful wooden floors.

The basement floor features a couple of rooms, including a charming studio space and a utility room with a flagstone floor.

The gardens extend to approximately one acre and wrap the house in mature planting, open lawns, and productive growing spaces.

A traditional walled garden contains fruit and vegetable beds alongside a greenhouse, while elsewhere the grounds are dotted with established trees and shrubs.

The house is listed for £960.000 at Inigo.
