Bromfield Road, Ludlow, Shropshire

Orchard House is positioned in a secluded spot on the outskirts of the famous market town of Ludlow. You approach the property off a lane through electric gates on to a long sweeping drive bordered in the spring by a wild meadow leads you to the house. This home has been thoughtfully remodelled and improved by the current owners to create a light-filled, energy-efficient, spacious and modern home. Internally, the property features large well-balanced living areas, offering an elegant contemporary style, and a seamless connection with the gardens which in the summer months connects inside and out for al fresco dining. A superb addition by the current owners is the bespoke made oak-framed porch which provides an inviting welcome to the home, with full-height glazing allows ample light into the property as well as views across the front garden and drive.

A lot of time, thought, consideration and money has been spent by our clients on this home including the addition of further solar panels on the oak framed car port, installation of a large Kw battery, EV charger, electric roller doors, rear electric door, full redo of the hot water, modern consumer unit and heating system to name a few.

Outside landscaping and fully glazed garden dome has created a lovely area to enjoy taking advantage of the raised beds and patio dining area.

The idigbo flooring is throught the groundfloor of the property.A door here leads into the first of the reception rooms, which offers versatility. It is currently used as a snug but has previously been utilised as a dining room. It enjoys double glazed doors opening out over the garden and a large opening into the kitchen lending itself to further uses as a breakfast room.

The striking kitchen which is a more recent addition designed by the homeowner with sleek cabinetry, has a full suite of integrated appliances, Quartz worktops and a central island incorporating a breakfast bar with space for stools underneath and further worktop space.

The large reception room has a contemporary woodburning stove, large window and bi-fold doors to the garden. This generous living space enjoys far-reaching views towards the Mortimer forest showcasing the great West facing aspect of this property.
