3 bedroom house

Ladywood Cottage is a well presented family home with a sense of history and character and which has been much improved and extended by the current owners.

The property stands within 1.5 acres of landscaped gardens and 1.4 acres of paddocks with comprehensive stabling and yard. Adjacent are a further 6.6 acres of paddocks with three yards and attendant field shelters, stores and haybarn. The property is surrounded by glorious Shropshire countryside and is adjacent to the 650 acres of Birchen Park, a detached remnant of the ancient Wyre Forest, which is crisscrossed by footpaths and bridleways. The pretty towns of Cleobury Mortimer, Bewdley and Bridgnorth are all within easy reach.

Accommodation comprises front porch leading into the entrance hall, giving way to the bright living room which is flooded with light from four windows. The room is given character and charm by a feature beamed ceiling and an open fire set in a stunning brick inglenook fireplace.

Double doors from the living room lead into the oak framed garden room, offering an elevated aspect over the gardens and giving access to the upper terrace.

From the entrance hall, steps lead down to the lower hall with cloak cupboard and guest WC. The cosy sitting room, currently used as a library, has French doors leading out to the lower terrace and enjoys lovely views over the garden. This would serve as an ideal playroom or office for working from home.

The dual aspect formal dining room is located conveniently adjacent to the breakfasting kitchen, which is well fitted with a good range of units with granite worktops and incorporates a central island, oil fired AGA and integrated fridge, freezer and dishwasher. Dual aspect windows let in lots of natural light, provide lovely views over the garden and there is ample space for a dining table.

The ceramic tiled floor leads through to a good-sized utility room having a Belfast sink and space and plumbing for a washing machine, and the boot room opening to a charming exterior sitting area.

To the first floor, the landing with double width airing cupboard leads to three double bedrooms and the family bathroom which is of generous size and features a corner bath. The master bedroom suite comprises a generous, dual aspect double bedroom with an en-suite shower room and a large bay window providing superb views over the garden and beautiful countryside beyond.

The property is set well back from the road and is approached along a paved driveway with turning area which provides parking for several vehicles as well as giving access to a detached double garage with workshop area and boarded storage over, which could offer further potential subject to planning.

The beautiful gardens are a particular feature of the property, having been thoughtfully designed and well maintained by the current owners. Generous lawned areas are interspersed with paved pathways and patio areas perfect for al fresco dining, relaxing and enjoying glorious views. Multiple raised beds and borders are well-stocked with an interesting range of ornamental shrubs, plants and trees. A good sized vegetable garden has a shed and on one of the many patio areas is an Amdega summer house, while on a different level beyond the garden hedging is a useful greenhouse.

At the eastern end of the garden and screened by laurel hedging is an area of approx. 0.2 acres planted with a mix of native trees which is given over to chicken & ducks and contains a chicken house, a brick built poultry house, duck pond and lawned grazing. Furthermore - for the equine enthusiast - there are two paddocks complete with a purpose-built stable block comprising an 18’ x 12’ tack room/ feed store, 18’ x 12’ stable, 12’ x 12’ stable and 18’ x 12’ stable. The house, gardens and paddocks total around 2.87 acres. Adjacent to the property is a further 6.6 acres of paddocks with hay barn and three field shelters with fenced yards.

N.B. For buyers looking to purchase less land the sellers would consider excluding 6.6 acres from the sale, the sale price would be reduced accordingly by negotiation.
