Description
Originally converted in the late 1980's, The Old Bakehouse forms part of Underdown, a Grade II listed former mansion house and buildings dating back to the late 1700's originally belonging to the Biddulph family. It comprises five apartments and five houses situated within beautifully maintained communal gardens and grounds extending to approximately 2‹ acres. The Old Bakehouse is a delightful red brick cottage, which adjoins the former mansion house, and offers characterful accommodation with a wealth of period features including exposed beams, deep skirting boards and some original windows. The property has been well maintained by the current owners and would suit a variety of needs including those who may require a 'lock up and leave' or wish to downsize. With the benefit of gas fired central heating and partial double glazing, the cottage offers a beautiful blend of modern living whilst still retaining its considerable charm.
The accommodation is arranged at ground floor level with an L-shaped entrance hall leading to the breakfast kitchen and dining room with a striking inglenook fireplace and traditional bread oven. At the far end of the entrance hall there is a ground floor double bedroom with a large en suite bathroom. On the first floor a landing leads to an elegant drawing room, which is flooded with natural light and boasts an impressive vaulted ceiling. Doors also lead to the master bedroom with a second en suite bathroom, third bedroom/study and separate WC. It should be noted that there is access from the master bedroom to a large attic space, which offers potential for future conversion (subject to necessary consents) with a dormer window and radiator plumbing.
One of the great strengths of The Old Bakehouse is its location, conveniently situated on the outskirts of Ledbury with access to a variety of footpaths making it an ideal spot for those who enjoy exploring the outdoors. Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking for two vehicles and enjoys exclusive use of a beautifully maintained area of garden, which is held under license by the current owners. The garden enjoys a good degree of privacy and is mainly laid to lawn with an attractive seating area.
Offered with no onward chain, the agent's highly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate this truly wonderful home.
