Location - Lower House is located in Burrington, a tiny village on the North Herefordshire/Shropshire border just 6 miles southwest of historic Ludlow. The nearest village is Leintwardine, 2.5 miles distant which has a local store, doctors surgery, two pubs and a primary school.

Brief Description - Lower House is a Grade II Listed half-timbered detached country home, parts of which date back to the 14th Century. It has been sympathetically renovated by the current owners who used to run a successful self-contained three bedroom holiday let in the original part of the farmhouse. Set in gardens and land of 4.4 acres, ideal for those seeking a business opportunity or indeed as a fabulous family home.

The owners pride themselves on sustainability and have invested in a ground source heat pump and solar panels. There is EV charging point, private water supply from a borehole and a new sewage treatment plant was installed in 2021.

Lower House has gardens, a self-contained cabin and a paddock to the rear- approximately 1.2 acres and a separate field on the other side of the lane with stables and a tack room - approximately 3.2 acres.

Approached from the lane over a small brook a gravelled drive and lawned gardens lead to the front of the property.
