Description
An exclusive property which forms part of the Upper Hall Estate, an historic former Grade II mansion house just a short walk from Ledbury town centre yet in a secluded parkland setting adjoining open countryside and woodland.
The Upper Hall estate was established approximately 800 years ago and the present hall, although predominently Georgian, has massive medieval stone foundations and imposing Jacobean and Victorian wings. A comprehensive restoration of the estate was undertaken in the late 1990s with the removal of all the 20th century additions, which had resulted from its use as a grammar school between 1922 and 1991 and the retention and repair of many of the finest original features. The surrounding park was remodelled and planted with some magnificent trees imported from the New World in the mid 19th century.
