Situation

58 The Homend is situated centrally within the vibrant and popular market town of Ledbury, which is located east of Hereford and south-west of the renowned and beautiful Malvern Hills. The property is located just off The Homend and is conveniently placed for amenities and domestic requirements, with everything on the doorstep, as well as benefitting from excellent commuter road, rail, and bus links to the larger commercial centres of Hereford, Gloucester, and Cheltenham. The surrounding countryside is characterised by traditional farms and wooded hills and is renowned for its scenic and unspoilt rural appeal.

58 The Homend

58 The Homend is a lovely, Grade II Listed townhouse, thought to date from the 1500's. It is situated off the main high street in a tucked away and quiet position, and benefits from excellent vehicular access.
The property still retains some of its period features, with some exposed timber beams at the rear and internally, some lovely stripped pine doors.
This comfortable home is arranged over three floors; on the ground floor is an entrance hall with a useful W.C leading off. A shaker-style, modern fitted kitchen offers ample storage and benefits from an integrated electric oven and a gas hob, with space and plumbing for a washing machine and a dishwasher.
Situated off the kitchen is a dining room with a door to a padestrian access to the high street. An attractive, turned staircase, with a good, under-stair cupboard, leads up to the first floor.
From the dining room, a door leads through to the sitting room, with a gas-fired stove and double patio doors leading to the rear patio and garden.
On the first floor are two double bedrooms (one with a hand basin, both with fitted wardrobes) a large single bedroom with fitted bookcase, and a family bathroom. On the second floor is a further double bedroom with views over Marcle Ridge, a window bench with storage underneath, fitted wardrobes and additional loft storage.

The Outside

The property can be approached in two ways; there is a pedestrian access (adjacent to Butler and Sweatman) off the high street. Vehicular access is slightly further up the street along Fox Lane.
At the rear (via the vehicular access) there is a large, private parking area for up to five cars and at the bottom, a metal workshop, and some raised vegetable beds.
Adjacent to the house is a further courtyard area and useful storage shed, and at the rear, there is a patio which can be directly access via patio doors from the sitting room. There is also an external access from the patio into the cellar below.
The main part of the garden is situated behind the patio area, and comprises a good-sized lawn edged by well-stocked flower and shrub borders, containing some rare and unusual plants.
