Situation

This property is located in the vibrant and popular market town of Ledbury, east of Herefordshire and west of the renowned, beautiful Malvern Hills.

Homend House

Homend House is a very attractive period, red brick townhouse in a super, central location, complemented by some lovely original features, including sash windows, exposed floorboards and attractive Victorian floor tiles.
The property is currently part used for business (hair & beauty salon) and provides a versatile space for a variety of uses and a super family home; ample scope to enjoy or improve.
Steps from the pavement lead up to a covered porch and a door to the ground floor, an entrance hall leads to the main sitting room/business space and stairs up and down and a separate WC.
A stone staircase leads down to the lower ground floor, where there are two rooms, one with a freestanding shower. These rooms have been used for business but provide a great space for a utility/laundry room, games/workroom, or further bedrooms with scope for en-suite facilities.

Homend House (continued)

A stripped wooden staircase from the hall leads up to the first floor and the current living space.
There is a super, open-plan kitchen/dining/family room which is beautifully light and has a creative, eclectic mix of free-standing furniture in the kitchen with space for a cooker, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and provides space for a table and chairs.
The family room benefits from bespoke, built-in shelving with wood upcycled from the renowned Morgan car factory. There is a period fireplace inset with a Clearview wood burning stove. A pair of French doors open onto the metal walkway, giving external access.
An additional reception room on the first floor is currently being used as the fourth bedroom but was previously a dining room, and there is also a second, separate WC.
Another staircase leads to the second floor where there are three further bedrooms, the main bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a Japanese-style bath.
The second floor landing has a fabulous skylight which floods this space with beautiful, ever-changing light and provides a welcoming entrance to this floor.

The Outside

There is no bespoke garden to this property but the owners have made good use of what outside space is available with a range of potted plants.
A private side path from the front pavement leads to Homend Crescent at the rear and gives access to the back of this property. A raised steel walkway gives access at second floor level to the kitchen and family room via a pair of French Doors. There is also an access door from the rear at lower ground floor level.
Access to the house is off the main pavement into town. There is on-street parking available front and rear, and potential for private off road parking via neighbours.
