Detached house for sale in Ledbury HR8, 4 Bedroom

Believed to have originally been two workman's cottages, The Cottage is a striking stone built detached house occupying an enviable position amidst the beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The Cottage is offered for sale for the first time in 45 years and has been used as a dedicated Christian Youth Centre for residential trips and weekends away. The property offers well proportioned accommodation and has been arranged to take full advantage of its delightful rural location with outstanding views from every window. Benefitting from oil fired central heating and double glazing throughout, the property also retains many characterful features including exposed ceiling timbers and an attractive stone fireplace in the living room. Whilst there are some aspects of The Cottage that would welcome a contemporary touch, it offers exciting potential to become a wonderful family home.

The spacious living accommodation on the ground floor comprises an entrance hall, shower room, dining room (converted from a garage approximately 7 years ago), kitchen, living room and further sitting room. From the living room there is access to a cellar room with reasonable head height. On the first floor a landing leads to four double bedrooms, family bathroom and shower room.

One of the great strengths of The Cottage is its location. From its elevated position, the property enjoys uninterrupted views sweeping from the Malvern Hills in the east across Marcle Ridge to the south and toward the Black Mountains in the far west. For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, it truly is a wonderful spot from where there is much to explore. Outside, the ground consists principally of woodland, providing a natural haven for an abundance of local wildlife. There is a small area of lawn at the front of the cottage and a detached stone outbuilding, which could be adapted for a variety of uses. A driveway to the side of the property provides off road parking with steps leading to a further raised terrace at the rear. The grounds in all extend to approximately three and A half acres.

Offered for sale with no onward chain, an internal inspection is highly recommended to appreciate this unique opportunity.
