Description

Set within approximately two and a half acres of beautifully established grounds, this unique detached bungalow offers a rare opportunity to enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle with exceptional outdoor space. The gardens unfold across a series of terraces, lawns and secluded wooded areas, creating a wonderfully private setting with far-reaching potential. A wraparound balcony terrace provides the perfect vantage point to enjoy the surroundings, while the expansive lower garden offers ample space for family recreation, gardening or smallholding pursuits. For buyers with equestrian interests, the land is particularly appealing, with level grazing potential and an existing two-bay stable, complete with power supply, offering an excellent foundation for restoration and future use.

Beyond its lifestyle appeal, the property also presents exciting opportunities to add value and create additional accommodation. The detached double garage benefits from previously approved planning permission (now lapsed) for conversion into a triple garage with a games room and office above, providing scope for a home business, studio, gym or ancillary living space, subject to the necessary consents. With two separate driveway accesses, generous parking and excellent connectivity to Ledbury and surrounding transport links, this is a property that combines countryside freedom with practical versatility, making it an increasingly rare find for families, equestrian buyers and those seeking room to grow.

Location

The property is located in the very popular village of Wellington Heath, which has a thriving local community with amenities including a village hall, pub and a church. Ledbury is approximately 1½ miles distant and offers an excellent range of facilities including shops, schools, churches, restaurants, theatre, doctors surgeries, community hospital and a mainline railway station with direct links to Hereford, Worcester, Birmingham New Street, Oxford, Reading and London Paddington. The cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are all approximately sixteen miles distant and the M50 motorway is available approximately four miles to the south of the town.
