Upper Park is accessed via a private driveway from the top of Horse Lane Orchard, a highly  sought after residential area within walking distance from the town centre. Ledbury is a thriving and expanding town which has a range of local facilities and amenities 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 16 miles distant with the M50 motorway available approximately 4 miles to the south of the town.

Description

Occupying an enviably private position within the town's conservation area, Upper Park is an individual architect-designed residence set amidst almost two acres of attractive gardens and grounds. Constructed some 30 years ago, the house enjoys a secluded feel, with mature trees, open lawns and far-reaching views across neighbouring farmland combining to create a wonderfully peaceful setting.

Designed to maximise both light and outlook, the accommodation is arranged principally on one level, offering an elegant balance of generous reception space and comfortable family living. A welcoming reception hall forms the heart of the house, leading to a charming dual-aspect drawing room where an open fireplace provides a natural focal point. French doors open onto the terrace, while a broad bay window frames uninterrupted views across the gardens.

The formal dining room, with adjoining study, provides an ideal setting for entertaining or quiet retreat, while the spacious kitchen and breakfast room, complete with a traditional AGA, is perfectly suited to relaxed country living.

The principal bedroom enjoys a delightful outlook over the pond and surrounding countryside and is complemented by a dressing area and en-suite bathroom. Two further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the ground floor accommodation, while an impressive loft space offers considerable scope to create additional living accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

Approached via a long private driveway, the property enjoys an immediate sense of arrival, with ample parking, a detached double garage and adjoining workshop. The driveway continues to the rear, providing excellent access throughout the grounds.

The gardens are a particular delight, with broad expanses of lawn, mature specimen trees, secluded terraces and an area of woodland creating a landscape of remarkable beauty and privacy. Peaceful and discreet, yet within easy reach of the town's amenities, Upper Park represents a rare opportunity to acquire an individual home in an exceptional setting.
