Outside

A gravel driveway, providing separate gated access to the main house and annexe, offers plenty of parking. The annexe courtyard has a brick-built outbuilding. The property has an extensive garden, with lawns to the front, bordered by mature trees and hedgerows, including attractive flowerbeds and box hedging.

There are three sheds in the garden - potting shed, wood shed and storage shed/workshop. Views extend across the surrounding countryside and to the magnificent Shropshire Hills. The position is superb and gives excellent control of one’s surroundings. The current owners have bought an additional part of an adjoining field, increasing the land footprint to about 2.15 acres, offering grazing for animals/livestock, which only compounds interest and desirability.

Situation

Ludlow is just a short distance south on the A49 and the county town of Shrewsbury lies to the north. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with wonderful walks on the doorstep including The Shropshire Way and Church Stretton with The Long Mynd and Carding Mill Valley Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
