Mainstone Court
This impressive Grade II listed property sits in an elevated position surrounded by approximately 25 acres of gardens and pasture-land. Mainstone Court is situated between Ledbury and Hereford in a gloriously rural location looking out to Marcle Ridge and the Malvern Hills. The Court principally dates back to 1821, when it was built by the architect Robert Smirke for Captain Johnstone, though this was actually an addition to an earlier 17th century house which looked out on a moat known to be in existence in the 1200's.
