3 bed 2 bath Detached
Half‑acre gardens, sweeping town views and a historic summerhouse in walking distance.
Elevated half‑acre plot with private woodland and direct footpath access
Far‑reaching panoramic views visible from most rooms
Grade II listed summerhouse (dated 1901) with elevated terrace
Three double bedrooms; master bedroom with ensuite and triple aspect
Lapsed planning permission for garage; space on driveway for multiple cars
Cavity walls assumed uninsulated — energy upgrades likely required
Double glazing present; installation date unknown
Outbuilding and greenhouse area provide storage and hobby space
Set on a generous half‑acre plot with private woodland to the rear, this distinguished Edwardian‑style home sits in an elevated position with far‑reaching views across Ledbury. The breakfast kitchen and principal reception rooms are triple‑aspect and drenched in light, making the vistas a constant feature from almost every room. The mature, well‑stocked gardens and a listed 1901 summerhouse provide an exceptional outdoor setting for entertaining and quiet evenings watching the sunset.
Inside are three double bedrooms, including a master with triple‑aspect windows and an ensuite, plus a family bathroom and two reception rooms with original built‑in cabinetry. Period proportions — tall ceilings, large windows and an open fire in the sitting room — give the house warmth and character, while an outbuilding, greenhouse area and generous driveway deliver practical space for hobbies and parking.
Practical considerations: planning permission for a garage has lapsed, and the property’s walls are noted as cavity construction with no added insulation (assumed), so buyers should factor in energy‑efficiency upgrades. Double glazing is present but the installation date is unknown. Services are mains water, electricity, drainage and gas boiler central heating; broadband speeds are average and council tax is moderate.
This is a rare right‑sizer or downsizer opportunity for buyers who prize character, views and expansive gardens within walking distance of Ledbury’s shops and cafes. The plot and outbuildings also offer scope for sympathetic improvement or extensions (where permitted) to increase comfort and long‑term value.
