Large private plot with mature hedging and landscaped gardens
Garage and extensive driveway — rare for central Ludlow
Planning permission for full‑length dormer to create panoramic views

Constructed 1980s; secondary glazing and gas central heating present
Council tax classed as expensive — factor ongoing costs

Set on a large, private plot just a short walk from Ludlow’s medieval centre, this detached five-bedroom bungalow is arranged for flexible, multi‑generational living. The ground floor provides multiple reception rooms, well‑proportioned double bedrooms and bathrooms, while a dedicated first‑floor principal suite offers privacy, a seating/dressing area and elevated views over the River Teme.
Practical strengths include an oversized garage, an unusually extensive driveway for central Ludlow, a detached garden room ideal for a home office or studio, and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. Planning permission exists for a full‑length dormer; installing it would create panoramic riverside views and add significant first‑floor light and space.
The property is comfortable but not new: constructed in the 1980s with secondary glazing and gas central heating to radiators. Buyers should expect some updating to modern standards and should budget for higher-than-average council tax. The setting is private, enclosed by mature hedging, and landscaped with lawns, patios and mature planting.
Notable practical points: the local area records above‑average crime, so purchasers seeking seclusion should consider security measures. Overall this home will suit a large family or buyers wanting adaptable accommodation near excellent schools and Ludlow’s shops and restaurants, with clear scope to increase value through the approved dormer and targeted refurbishment.
