Detached house for sale

Little Hereford, Nr Ludlow SY8

The cottage comes for sale for the first time in over 100 years. Originally a two up two down with an attached old Granary, along with lean-to extensions, part of which form the current accommodation. The property retains some of its character and has been re-modelled over the years to form 3 bedrooms, a large dining area with cider press.

The accommodation does require updating, but offers an enormous amount of potential to substantially extend the living area or even to form separate living accommodation by converting the existing structure (subject to any Planning, etc.) The property stands adjacent to Upton Court and the farm in a slightly raised position, enjoying fine views over adjoining farmland as far as Clee Hill.

A separate newly installed drive gives private access to the property and its grounds, which in all extend to about 1.1 acres of land with old fruit trees such as pear and damson.

This property offers an ideal project for buyers who don't mind work and are wanting a delightful rural location.

No ongoing chain.
