Starstile Meadow, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8

Rarely does a home of this quality become available in such proximity to the town centre of Ludlow.

Built to exceptional quality and with accommodation that extends to over 3150 sq. ft. arranged over two floors, with additional space by way of the cellar.

Set off a large and welcoming entrance hall are four superb reception rooms that provide excellent living space, with the recent addition of a magnificent oak framed extension to the kitchen that has created a wonderful room that links the home to the terrace and garden beautifully.

There is a dual aspect drawing room with fireplace and French doors to the terrace and overlooking the garden and a dining room that has windows overlooking the garden to the front.

Double doors open into the snug which has been fitted out with solid walnut bookcases and media wall, whilst the study has a exceptional joinery with bookcases and fitted desk.

The kitchen / breakfast room is beautifully fitted and has a range of fitted units and appliances, a large centre island / breakfast bar with an oak framed extension, which has a large lantern flooding the room with light, and two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the decking with steps down to the lawn.

The utility room houses the boiler and there is a W.C. Off the hall are the stairs that lead to the cellar that provides excellent storage space and has been racked out for wine.

Throughout the ground floor are oak floors which are also fitted in the main bedroom and dressing room, with high quality carpets to the other bedrooms, landing and stairs.

On the first floor are four double bedrooms with the fifth having been converted into a dressing room with fitted wardrobes.

The principal bedroom suite has an en suite with a shower and separate bath with an opening to the walk-in wardrobe / dressing room.

There are two further bedroom suites, both being very large double bedrooms and having en suite with shower and bath. The fourth bedroom is opposite the house bathroom.

This is a home of exceptional quality and in an outstanding location in which the current owners have invested a great deal to create something that is extremely hard to find in Ludlow. The entire house has been tastefully redecorated, bespoke cabinetry in the hall, snug and study.

Garden and Grounds

Set at the end of Starstile Meadow and tucked away in the corner position that backs onto woodland and meadow, it enjoys a great deal of privacy and is often remarked on by visitors as to how peaceful and hidden away it is.

The driveway has parking for up to four cars and leads to a detached double garage.

The path leads through to well maintained lawns and borders to the front door, with a gate to the side of the house leading to the enclosed rear garden where there is a large timber deck with iron railings that runs across the rear of the house. Steps lead down to the terraced lawn that backs onto neighbouring wooded area.

A beautifully constructed oak framed garden shed with workbench and cupboards for storage sits within the garden. It has power connected and sits at the end of a brick path.

Starstile Meadows is a small development of just seven properties set off Gravel Hill, just a short distance from all that historic Ludlow has to offer. Shops, Doctors and schools are in close proximity along with easy access to the train station running north to Shrewsbury and south to Hereford.

The development was completed by local development firm Harpers in 2008 and consists of five high end houses and one bungalow with an eco-house completed privately some years later.

Set off a privately owned road, Fitzwarren House sits in the bottom corner in a prime spot, backing onto a wooded area.

The appeal of the location is the privacy, with many people being unaware of its existence and accessibility to the town centre.
