The Hop Kilns is situated in a picturesque rural location on the outskirts of the beautiful market town of Ledbury. The location is ideally situated for exploring the wealth that the three counties have to offer - Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire. Ledbury is also 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. There is also easy access to the motorway network via junction 2 of the M50, just four miles south of Ledbury. The cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are all within easy commuting distance and are approximately 14 ½ miles, 17 miles and 16 ½ miles distant respectively.
The Hop Kilns is a delightful property that was renovated into a domestic dwelling about twenty years ago, and as the name would suggest was once a working building used to dry hops. You are offered extremely spacious and versatile accommodation. The entrance hall is a large and welcoming space, flowing through to all of the ground floor rooms with ease. Slim and attractive bi-fold doors lead into the large living room that features a brick fireplace with an inset log burner, ideal for those cosy nights in. At the far end of the room a fully glazed door leads out onto the decked terrace that allows you to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The bright and sunny farmhouse kitchen is spacious enough to set a breakfast table and chairs at the heart of the room, and is then surrounded by limed oak style fitted base and wall units, cream ceramic tiled floor, complete with a green tiled work surface, with plenty of space for an American style fridge freezer. The dining room also enjoys a sunny aspect, as it faces east. From here you can access an outside seating area through fully glazed patio doors. The versatility of this property would allow you to decide on whether this room would be better suited as a music room, playroom for the children, or indeed remain as an ample dining room. The downstairs cloakroom completes the ground floor. From the entrance hall, stairs rise to the first floor where there are five bedrooms. The master suite benefits from having an ensuite shower room, fully fitted wall of wardrobes and double aspect windows, making it a very pleasing, bright room. There is also a large loft space above this room that may be accessed from a sturdy pull down ladder, and is currently used as a hobby room with supplementary storage space. Bedroom two is a large double room, that should you choose to remove the ceiling would present the double height of the original Hop Kiln and make for a truly unique space. Along a corridor from the landing you will find the three remaining bedrooms, all bright with clean decor and taking full advantage of the interesting roof shape to incorporate as much natural daylight as possible with the introduction of roof lights. The family bathroom is equipped with a white bath suite, with shower over. Part of the landing has been fitted out with double height built-in storage cupboards. As you wander round the house, your eyes are inexorably drawn to the gardens and the beauty of the surroundings.
The Hop Kilns benefits from having wrap around gardens, a large pond, and a semi-detached barn/stable - that is ripe with potential for development - and a separate paddock, making this an ideal home for those with an equestrian interest. The stables at the moment are separated in two, one used as a garden store, the other as a workshop. To the rear there is a covered area that works very well as a log store. A decked terrace runs along the majority of the length of the back of the house and makes a fantastic entertaining space for family barbeques and evening drinks whilst looking out over the walled pond below from the clematis framed walkway, with its very own Golden Hop growing over a pergola. Flower beds and firs gently follow the curves of the lawn, whilst the property also boasts mature trees including Hawthorn, Holly, Forsythia and Lilacs to name but a few. Facing the gravel driveway that leads to the front door is a tree peony that is a delicate shade of pink. Tucked behind a weathered brick wall are a grape vine and a feature water pump. The gardens are very well maintained and planted so that you benefit from colour in the spring and summer. On the opposite side of the drive is the sizeable paddock that is surrounded by post and rail fencing. Within this area there is a Victoria Plum, Bramley Apple and pear trees, making this a highly attractive aspect to look out upon.
