Description
A cherished family home, the house has been extensively renovated to a superior specification under the directive of the renowned Treasures of Ludlow, executing immense attention to detail along with the use of high-quality natural materials. The sympathetic scheme of works undertaken has both reinstated and preserved a plethora of classic period features which include original cast iron fireplaces, deep sash windows, oak panelled doors, decorative architraves and wide oak panelled flooring. Complementing is an array of modern infrastructure such as underfloor heating to the ground and lower floors, a two person lift and an extensive Cisco hardwired internet system. Structural enhancements completed as part of the 2014-16 renovation works include renovation of the roof, lead work and rainwater goods, installation of a steel structure framework, thermal insulation to external walls and attic along with sound proofing of party walls on two floors.
The front door with fan light over opens into a vestibule laid with quarry tiles. From here, the accommodation flows from a welcoming entrance hallway with high ceilings and engineered oak flooring that continue throughout the ground floor. The sophisticated dining room is an inviting space to entertain, featuring a striking open fireplace with green marble hearth and inset within an ornate stone surround. The elegant drawing room, also with open fireplace, has an original curved full height bay window with door onto the terrace.
Stairs fall to a lower ground floor hallway off which leads an impressive unique French bistro inspired kitchen/breakfast room laid with Belgian blue limestone and flooded with light from double doors out to the garden. The kitchen, fitted with a superb custom-made Anthanor stainless steel countertop with inset hobs and a large island, is a gastronome’s dream, including a Halton extraction canopy, Miele oven and undercounter refrigerator. The limestone floor continues to a large utility room across the hall fitted with a range of stainless-steel countertops and storage with 1.5 sink, integrated Bosch dishwasher and an adjoining pantry. Completing the lower ground floor is a stylish WC with Moroccan cedar wood carpentry and tiles finished with Tadelakt plasterwork.
To the first floor is an atmospheric library with intricate bespoke bookcases, three large sash windows and an open fireplace. The principal bedroom has oak fitted wardrobes and enjoys views over the garden to the iconic dome of St Chad's church. Servicing this floor is a splendid art deco shower room extensively fitted with marble and silver nickel detailing.
Stairs rise to the second floor where there are three characterful bedrooms and a family bathroom.
The enchanting walled garden at 27 St John’s Hill is a particular noteworthy feature of the property, offering a private oasis in the heart of town with delightful views of St Chads Church. There is access from both the lower ground and ground floors with a blue brick pathway drawing the eye down the garden past borders stocked with herbaceous flowering plants and a variety of fruit and specimen trees.
A one year parking permit is in place at Swan Hill Nursing Home and that will be passed onto a purchaser to enjoy the remaining term. (valid from 01.05.2024)
