Summary - ROUGHWOOD, LEDBURY, PUTLEY HR8 2RF
Detached Victorian farmhouse on huge private plot adjoining farmland
Roughwood is a substantial detached period farmhouse set in a huge private plot adjoining farmland, offering sweeping distant views and immediate access to countryside walks. The house retains character features — exposed stonework, fireplaces, wood panelling and sash-style windows — and provides generous family accommodation across two storeys, with four reception rooms and four bedrooms. The setting on Putley Common is secluded yet within reasonable driving distance of Ledbury and the M50/M5 corridors.
The house is sold as a renovation project. Significant updating is required throughout: decorative and service renewal, replacement or repair of the flat-roof rear extension, and modernisation of kitchens and bathrooms. Heating is currently via night storage heaters and an air-source heat pump with underfloor circuits; there is also an external oil tank. Services include mains electricity, private drainage and a shared borehole — the buyer must connect to the mains water on the road within six months of completion.
For a family seeking a long-term home or for builders and developers, the property offers clear potential. Room arrangements include a large reception hall, multiple downstairs reception rooms, study and a storeroom that could be converted to additional living space. The huge plot and countryside aspect allow scope for a sensitive extension or landscaping to create a comfortable, characterful family home.
Buyers should note practical downsides: the property needs full renovation, has some low ceilings and outdated interiors, the rear extension has a flat roof, private drainage and borehole arrangements require attention, and council tax is described as quite expensive. Taken together, this is a project property with excellent location and land potential, best suited to those prepared to invest in renovation.
