Ledbury is home to the renowned poetry festival and offers an abundance of facilities including primary and secondary schooling, cottage hospital, market theatre, churches, supermarkets, leisure facilities and has excellent rail links to London Paddington and Birmingham New Street. The cathedral cities of Worcester (15 miles), Hereford (16 miles) and Gloucester (19 miles) are all within easy reach. Access to the motorway network, via junction 2 of the M50, is just four miles south of Ledbury.
Upper Lodge, formerly the lodge house to the Hope End Estate, is a beautiful semi-detached cottage that dates back to the 1870s and has been recently updated to a high standard. The property is entered through a wooden front door and into a small porch area. This leads into the reception hallway, which has a feature window looking through to the sitting room. The ample sitting room has a large open fire place with a stone hearth and mantle piece. To the left of the fireplace are built in storage cupboards and shelves. This room, which has stunning rural views, has a pale carpet, where as the remainder of the downstairs accommodation has a terracotta coloured tiled floor. Off the hallway is the large dining room, which also gives access to the rear garden. An archway leads into the kitchen, which has an array of fitted units along three walls with beech worktops. The window above the Belfast sink has fabulous views over Marcle Ridge in the distance. The units incorporate built in appliances that include a Britannia Rangemaster, fridge, freezer and dishwasher, and space for a washing machine. From the hallway stairs rise to the first floor accommodation, that is carpeted throughout and includes two double bedrooms and a further smaller bedroom which houses the airing cupboard. Also on this floor is the stylish family bathroom which consists of a white suite with white tiles and pale vinyl flooring.
Upper Lodge is approached through a wooden picket gate, where a stone path leads to the front door. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn and is bordered by a mature hedge and wooden picket fence. There is a pathway around the side of the property that leads to the enclosed rear garden, which is partly laid to lawn and bordered by mature hedges. There is also an area of wooden decking that is ideal for alfresco dining and enjoying the stunning views. Opposite the property is the gravelled parking area that will accommodate up to three cars.
