Richards Castle, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8 4EL

Merefield Lodge represents an exciting opportunity to purchase a stand alone plot comprising extensive grounds in a beautiful location, currently siting a lodge but with permission for its replacement with a detached dwelling. The plot enjoys a wonderful rural position with far reaching countryside views, and currently offers garage as well as a workshop.

The ground is set back from the road along a private track and is located just outside the village of Richards Castle, a short drive from the popular market town of Ludlow. Within the vicinity is Orleton village which offers a good range of amenities. There is primary schooling in Orleton as well as two nearby private schools. The historic town of Ludlow offers a wider range of amenities to include schooling, supermarkets and good road and rail links.

The plot has planning permission granted by Herefordshire council under reference P242299/F, and all of the detailed plans, drawings and supporting documents can be found on the Herefordshire Councils website.

It is an amazing opportunity to purchase a great sized plot in a wonderful rural position with far reaching views and these types of plots do not come along very often so this is certainly an opportunity not to be missed.. The plot would lend itself to a developer or builder, or indeed a self build project for buyers looking to create their own dream home, in the countryside.

The current permission is to build a three bedroomed detached property with 2 bathrooms, a spacious kitchen/dining/living space, separate living room, porch and ground floor cloakroom. Outside the property has a large garage building and a good size workshop, which would lend themselves to other other uses as required. It also offers lovely gardens with lawned areas, a pond, a large driveway, fencing and hedges surrounding the plot, providing countryside views and secure gated access onto the lane.

Interested parties are invited to submit their offers in writing to Lee Anderson Property by Friday 1st August 2025 by 12.00 noon.
