4 bedroom house

Shortgrove, which requires some modernisation and restoration, is a charming and secluded Grade II Listed property, dating from the early 17th century and surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The property is a fine example of “Tudor” style timber-frame and rendered construction, with attractive and unique external elevations, while inside there are exposed beams and a host of other original features.

The splendid reception hall, with flagstone flooring, exposed stonework and beams, provides access to the rest of the house. A door leads to the sitting room, believed to have been added in the mid-19th century, while across the hallway there is access to three further reception rooms; snug, dining room and the generous drawing room with its impressive inglenook fireplace. The kitchen/breakfast room is accessed from the hall or via the conservatory. A useful utility and shower room/WC completes the ground floor.

There are two staircase's, one from the reception hall and one from the back hall. The first floor has four double bedrooms. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom while two family bathrooms serve the other rooms.

The small village of Brimfield is set in beautiful Herefordshire countryside, with a selection of pubs and local amenities, including a village shop and hall. Nearby the towns of Tenbury Wells and Ludlow provide a good choice of everyday amenities, including supermarkets, shopping and leisure facilities. There are good schooling options close-at-hand, with the highly rated Wigmore secondary school and the popular primary school in Orleton. The independent schools of Lucton and Moor Park are closeby. The property is within easy reach of the A49, meaning transport to and from the larger towns in the area is extremely accessible. Mainline train services are available from Ludlow to Cardiff and Manchester Piccadilly, with connections to Birmingham and London.

The property has a wonderful position affording some superb views. Situated at the end of a lane, the house, barn and outbuildings have plenty of space around with ample parking areas. The barn enjoys planning permission to convert to a residential property (as annexe to the main house) but could equally convert to a holiday let and/or simply used as outbuildings, workshops, studio etc (subject to consent). Adjoining the barn is a triple garage. The surrounding gardens have lawns, a variety of shrubs, hedgerows and mature trees and are bordered by open fields and common. There is a paddock, large kitchen garden area, old hen run, and an orchard.
