Imaginatively designed by a leading Grand Designs architect, this magnificent hideaway offers bright and relaxing accommodation for families and friends keen to discover the historic town of Leominster and the surrounding Marches. The property is just a quarter of a mile from the centre of Leominster, a thriving town which retains much of its medieval and Tudor heritage, with narrow streets and half-timbered buildings alongside graceful Georgian terraces. Midway between the Shropshire Hills and the Malvern Hills (both within 15 miles), Leominster makes a wonderful base for following both the Black and White Village Trail and the Wye Valley Walk, and for exploring Mortimer Country, with local landmarks including Burton Court, Berrington Hall and Hampton Court Castle, all within 5 miles. Ludlow lies just across the border in Shropshire (12 miles), home to the atmospheric remains of the 11th-century Ludlow Castle.
A gated entrance leads you through the delightful garden, with a path wending its way to this eye-catching property. Stepping inside the elegantly designed retreat, the hallway has plenty of room for leaving boots and coats before you head through to the spacious lounge. With a Smart TV, a roaring wood burner and plush seating, the beautifully arranged lounge also benefits from floor-to-ceiling windows offering charming views across the garden. Exploring this fabulous hideaway further, the vast open-plan kitchen/diner provides a memorable space for everyone to get together and relax after a fantastic day out. The thoughtfully organised kitchen has a wealth of equipment, with a central island making an ideal spot for preparing family meals and for enjoying a light snack or a hearty breakfast. To one side, the chic dining area sits beneath a high skylight set in the vaulted ceiling, allowing natural light to flood in. The ground floor also offers a shower room and a handy utility cupboard. When it's time to turn in for the night, the first two of the property's three elegant bedrooms are on the ground floor: a relaxing king-size, and a charming Super- king-size room which can be made up as a twin on request. The final bedroom is upstairs – a stylish suite with a sumptuous super-king-size bed, and a day bed that can be made into 2 small beds suitable for children, and a refreshing en-suite bathroom.
Stepping outside, the generous enclosed gardens wrap around the property, featuring a lovely terraced area with ample seating and providing a wonderfully relaxing spot for summer dining. Private off-road parking is available for two cars plus one permit for roadside parking and there is a public car park 25 yards away.
