New builds Herefordshire
Known as England’s orchard, Herefordshire is renowned for its fertile soil, temperate climate and high-quality cider apples – with local producers making some of the best cider in the UK. It's also known as a great commuter county, being equidistant from Birmingham and Bristol, offering quality of life for people who need to work in the city, but who want the country life.
