Situation

This property is located in the vibrant and popular market town of Ledbury in Herefordshire, to the west of the renowned and beautiful Malvern Hills. The property is in the town centre, very well placed for amenities and domestic requirements, with excellent commuter road, rail and bus links to the larger commercial centres of Hereford, Worcester, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

5 Church Street

This delightful property is an honest and characterful home, full of rustic charm and displaying a wealth of original features, including exposed beams and floorboards.
The front door opens directly into the kitchen/dining room, which is a good size. The kitchen area is compact and functional with space for a cooker and a fridge-freezer. With some reconfiguration, the kitchen could be improved to suit personal taste.
Directly ahead of the front door is the original hallway, and part-glazed doors remains in situ as a reminder of the property’s historic layout. The kitchen/dining room was originally two rooms but has since been amalgamated to create a better sized room.
To the rear of the kitchen is a utility room where there is storage and space for white goods. A back door opens to a mini courtyard.

5 Church Street (continued)

Stairs from the kitchen lead to the first floor, where there is a galleried landing and two reception rooms: a sitting room and a library. Either of these could easily be utilised as another bedroom or a dining room if the kitchen was expanded. There is also a bathroom with bath and separate walk-in shower on this floor.
A further staircase leads to the second floor where there is another galleried landing and two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite WC and wash basin.
Whilst this lovely property is located in the centre of Ledbury, it is surprisingly quiet and very private with all the town benefits on the doorstep.

The Outside

The property is approached off a narrow street, close to the historic Market Square, which continues on to the Walled Garden and Church.
There is an enclosed, mini courtyard at the rear of the property which provides just enough space for some planted pots and a small bistro-style table and chairs.
Parking is on street or in one of the nearby public car parks (annual permits available).
Church Street runs parallel to Church Lane, a renowned cobbled street, which is home to the 16th Century Painted Room, local Heritage Centre, the Butcher Row House Museum and a traditional pub. This location has also been used in several TV drama and film sets over the years.
