Converted in 2006 this former agricultural building underwent a
radical conversion to create four unique modern homes within the
Dutch barn and adjoining lean to that existed on the site. The
barrel shaped roof is a nod to its previous structure and the
curved shape features within the ceilings of bedrooms. Original
features include exposed brick walls and original beams, as well as
flagstone flooring, solid oak floorboards, underfloor heating,
ledge and brace oak doors and solid oak double glazed windows. The
accommodation feels light, spacious and sumptuous, with good
quality fixtures and fittings.
Situated just outside the historic market town of Ledbury in east
Herefordshire, the property enjoys a rural location and outlook,
with the convenience of the town on its doorstep. Ledbury offers a
superb quality of life and regularly features within the national
media due to its appeal. The well served town has a good range of
amenities including independent shops and supermarkets, as well as
being surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside. Ledbury has a
main line railway station with direct trains to Birmingham and
London Paddington. The M50 motorway is 5 miles south of the town,
which links to the M5 motorway.
