Ledbury Park, Ledbury, Herefordshire, HR8

A hugely impressive Grade I listed townhouse nestled in the heart of Ledbury.

Description

Ledbury Park is a quiet and peaceful exclusive courtyard development situated in the heart of the town, steeped in a fascinating and well documented history. It is understood that the original house dates back to the 16th Century and was a former gentleman's residence. During the 1800's, substantial renovations were carried out by the renowned Biddulph family with influences being drawn from the Arts and Crafts movement, which can still be seen today. During World War II, the house was used by evacuee children and in 1950 the house and estate were sold to a stationery business before being developed and renovated in 1997/98 into 17 individual homes.

10 Ledbury Park is located within the original mansion house and carries both a Grade I and Grade II listing. The house has been lovingly maintained by the current owner with due care and attention being given to preserve the property's historical integrity. The house boasts a wealth of period features, which highlight the craftsmanship of its era including extensive oak panelling to the walls, an impressive staircase, exposed ceiling beams, solid oak doors, exposed floorboards and deep skirting boards. The windows allow an abundance of natural light, which flows throughout the house with intricate lead lattice detailing and a particularly striking lantern style roof light in the dining hall.

The accommodation is exceptional in both its size and grandeur, emphasised at ground floor level through double height ceilings with beautifully corniced detailing. The house has an imposing approach with a solid oak door opening into a vestibule, with illustrative stained glass panels, which in turn leads to an impressive dining hall. From here doors lead to an elegant drawing room measuring over 32ft in length, which enjoys a south facing aspect with views across the communal garden and parkland beyond. An inner hall gives access to a cloakroom and a large dining kitchen with bespoke fitted units. Located in the oldest part of the house is a rear porch with a quarry tiled floor and door leading to a private courtyard garden. A sweeping staircase from the dining hall leads to a galleried landing and in turn to the master bedroom with a large picture window and en suite shower room. The landing extends to three further double bedrooms, family bathroom and separate WC.

Outside, the property benefits from two allocated parking spaces with further visitor parking available within the courtyard. To the rear of the property there is a private courtyard providing an ideal seating area with access to a further area of manicured garden, which is laid to lawn and leads to an established parkland. For those who enjoy the outdoors, Ledbury Park sits on the edge of a variety of paths that lead to Conigree Wood and beyond.

With so much on offer the agents strongly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate all that this property has to offer.
