House For Sale £1,600,000
Bowling Green Cottage is one of Ledbury's most fascinating and important houses. In essence, it is a country house in the town - with a very rural outlook to the east. The house dates back to the early 17th Century with additions from the 18th Century onwards.
The house is built of brick with large sash windows to make the most of the fine views out over the parkland. There are two main entrances, one from the parking area on the lower ground floor through a contemporary glazed hallway housing the lift; and the other on the ground floor into the hall and main stairwell.
The principal reception rooms are light and beautifully proportioned with well preserved period features including polished oak flooring, marble fireplaces, picture rails and panelled doors.
The kitchen breakfast room and dining room combine to form a fabulous family or entertaining space with French doors opening to the garden.
The gardens on the south side are flanked by mature hedging and cast iron park railings. A long lawn runs past herbaceous beds, mature Yews, a variety of shrubs and specimen trees to a brick summer house just beyond the hard tennis court.
Ledbury is famous for its medieval town center and has an excellent range of local shops and services including the famous Feathers Hotel, train station, supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, and the community hospital. A bypass ensures that very little heavy traffic goes through the center of Ledbury. The M50 is only 4 miles away. This area of Herefordshire is much sought after for its recreational opportunities. These include golf courses at Hereford, Malvern, Ross-on-Wye and Dymock; racecourses at Hereford, Worcester and Cheltenham; Malvern is an acclaimed cultural center with its Abbey and theatre; and there are glorious walks and rides through the surrounding countryside and over the Malvern Hills.
