Mountain Road

This extraordinary home lies partway up the Mountain Road set between Herefordshire’s Longtown and the Black Mountains. It comprises a Grade II-listed 15th-century farmhouse, a 17th-century barn house, two outhouses, 21 fields covering 85 acres, three dingles, a river, a working livestock farm with an extensive range of modern agricultural buildings, and a wonderfully romantic stone bothy. Reinventing traditional ideas of rural farm living, the interiors are full of clever, intuitive, and playful architectural interventions, with a fun and modern use of colour and a time-honouring approach to materials.
