The nearby popular market towns of Tenbury Wells and Ludlow have an excellent range of shops, schools, restaurants, services and amenities.

The property is a beautiful part timbered, Grade II listed village house and is believed to date back from 1678. It has been sympathetically renovated over the years and now offers excellent accommodation arranged over three floors. Upper House retains a host of period features and is full of character throughout. The family room and sitting room are both dual aspect and have exposed ceiling timbers, along with feature fireplaces housing wood burning stoves. The kitchen / dining room has triple aspect windows and boasts a four oven Aga along with plenty of fitted storage and space for a dining table. A mezzanine floor over the kitchen space, currently used as a reading room could double up as a home office or play room accessed from a flight of stairs from the kitchen. There are two characterful first-floor bedrooms (one with an en-suite shower room) along with a further study / bedroom and a family bathroom. There are also two further 2nd floor bedrooms.

Outside
Upper House is located on a country lane through a gated entrance onto a gravel driveway with ample off street parking to the front of the detached garage / workshop. There is also a dairy with a separate utility area, wc and washroom. The delightful cottage gardens are a real feature, with lawn, flowering and herbaceous borders, all enclosed by mature trees and hedging. Upper House also benefits from a light and airy converted studio with a mezzanine office space above, ideal as an artist’s studio or with the potential for a holiday let or further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. At the top of the garden, there is a cedarwood summerhouse which benefits from light and power with views across the countryside.
