The Property
The Long House is believed to date back to 1847 and was formally four cottages. It was knocked into one in 2000. Internally the property offers exceptional and flexible accommodation including a large dining room, a sitting room and study. However, the main feature is the exceptional drawing room which has outstanding views to the west. The current owners extended the property in 2008 to create a beautifully designed conservatory where the kitchen currently resides.
On the first floor there are three good sized bedrooms, these are approached off two staircases from the ground floor and with a little alteration it would be possible to create an excellent self contained annexe. A fourth bedroom with en-suite shower room is located on the second floor.
Situation
Nestled on the edge of the popular and sought after village of Leintwardine, the area offers extensive walking, riding, cycling and mountain biking with local hill trails, plus the nearby Offa’s Dyke Path. The village amenities include a doctor’s surgery, a local butcher, village shop and garage/petrol station and two public houses. There is a primary school in the village, and it is also within the catchment area of the highly sought after Wigmore High School.
The vibrant market town of Ludlow is a short drive and provides a good range of facilities, with a variety of independent shops, traditional tea rooms, pubs and restaurants, as well as direct rail links beyond the region to south Wales and the north west of England.
Outside
The gardens of The Long House are well cared for and lie predominately to the south and west with winding pathways through well stocked borders.
There is a good sized lawned area with a variety of shrubs and fruit trees and wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and beyond. Approached from the roadside front gate there is a large gravel driveway providing ample parking. There is an insulated wooden cabin with electricity currently used for sewing and storing fabric.
