Uplands Orchard

Uplands Orchard nestles on the outskirts of the rural village of Wellington Heath, in an elevated position in East Herefordshire and within a short drive of the popular market town of Ledbury. Renowned for its beautiful countryside, this area of Herefordshire is characterised by a diverse farming landscape with undulating countryside and ample woodland. This property offers a desirable rural idyll combined with excellent communication links to the rest of the country.

Uplands Orchard

This detached period property dates from the early 20th century and sits within 2 acres of grounds, bordered by productive farmland.
Situated on the outskirts of Wellington Heath and close to Ledbury, this well-located property has excellent access to main line rail and arterial road links.
The house was latterly redesigned to incorporate a stunning modern garden room which links the kitchen with the sitting room, creating a very impressive living space for entertaining or just enjoying the garden.
The 4 oven Aga kitchen is of excellent standard and is complemented by the generous garden room. A pantry and utility room to the rear provide ancillary domestic space adjacent to the kitchen. There is a separate electric hob and oven built-in, plus an instant hot water tap.
Real oak flooring blends from the kitchen, garden room to the sitting room and entrance hall.

A separate tractor barn, with garden and log stores sits to the rear of the house.
A small paddock sits west of the house and garage, with a timber tractor barn and log store adjacent to the house; ideal as a store for garden and grounds maintenance equipment.
The well designed and attractive garden lies east of the house and presents a beautiful frame to the house. The well-stocked and private garden offers a beautiful living environment and a peaceful setting. There is ample lawned ground and a summerhouse at the end of the garden.
