The Property - Introducing No.31 Gravel Hill, which is a well presented, semi-detached Edwardian house set over four floors and positioned within one of Ludlow’s most sought-after residential addresses. Built in 1910 and elevated above the historic town centre, the property enjoys stunning, panoramic rear views across the rooftops of Ludlow towards the surrounding Shropshire countryside, Mortimers Forest, Ludlow Castle and the magnificent tower of St Laurence's Church. Located approximately 450 yards from the vibrant town centre with its many independently owned shops, restaurants, cafés and facilities, the house is also within comfortable walking distance of the railway station, making it particularly well placed for commuters whilst having the very best of Ludlow on the doorstep.

Having served as a much loved family home for the past 30 years, No.31 Gravel Hill retains a wealth of period features including sash windows, high ceilings, decorative cornicing, original fireplaces and attractive tiled flooring. The windows have recently been redecorated externally, helping to preserve the character and presentation of this handsome period home. Offering spacious and versatile accommodation extending to approximately 2,351 sq ft, the property provides 4 double bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 reception rooms, a study, kitchen/diner and a useful cellar area. For added peace of mind, the property was re-roofed circa 2016. Outside, there are gardens to both the front and rear, with the rear garden enjoying a south-west facing aspect.

Inside, the accommodation spans across four floors and is made up on the ground floor of an entrance hall with attractive tiled flooring and stairs rising to the upper floors. Positioned to the front is the living room, featuring a bay window and fireplace, while a separate reception room to the rear enjoys a pleasant outlook towards the garden and beyond and also benefits from a fireplace and fitted shelving. Completing the ground floor is the kitchen/diner, which offers a range of fitted units, work surfaces and space for a family dining table, along with a range-style cooker, creating a warm and sociable space.

On the lower ground floor is a useful cellar area, providing excellent storage and potential for a variety of uses, subject to all necessary consents.

The first floor landing gives way to two double bedrooms, one positioned to the front and one to the rear, both enjoying generous proportions and period features. Also on this floor is a study, ideal for those working from home, whilst enjoying the views. In addition, there is both a recently modernised shower room, fitted with a contemporary shower unit, wash basin and W.C., and a separate family bathroom comprising a bath, wash basin and W.C., providing excellent convenience for family living.

On the second floor are two further double bedrooms, both offering characterful sloping ceilings and feature fireplaces. The front bedroom has original wooden flooring, while the rear bedroom offers breath-taking views across the town, again taking in the iconic castle and church tower alongside the rolling countryside beyond.

Outside, to the front of the property is a lawned garden with a pathway leading to the entrance door and bordered by mature shrubs and planting. A useful side passage runs alongside the property, providing access between the front and rear gardens — ideal for garden maintenance, storage access or everyday practicality.

The rear garden is worthy of particular note, enjoying a south-west facing aspect and far-reaching views across Ludlow’s historic skyline towards the hills beyond. The garden is largely laid to lawn with a paved patio area adjoining the rear of the property, creating an ideal space to relax and unwind within the warmer months of the year. There are planted borders, established hedging and a useful garden shed, with well-defined boundaries providing a good degree of privacy.

Combining generous accommodation, period character, recent improvements and an exceptionally convenient position just a short stroll from both the town centre and railway station, No.31 Gravel Hill presents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial Edwardian home in the heart of Ludlow.
