GENERAL REMARKS
This substantial and desirable country home occupies an enviable elevated location on the fringes of the village of Wellington Heath (with a public house) only 3 miles from the sought after town of Ledbury.
As the name may suggest the property is a former Victorian School House substantially constructed in mellow stone under a slated roof. The principal school rooms still remain and the property retains the character of its period although now combined with all modern features for contemporary living.
The spacious five bedroom accommodation lends itself for family living, however, a wing incorporating the old school room could possibly be sub-divided to potentially form a granny annexe or holiday cottage subject to planning.
Outside the property stands in over half an acre of well stocked and well tended gardens and grounds including a former nissan hut at the far end of the site, in use as a storage building.
Ledbury offers a charming shopping location close by with the M50 only a few miles away giving access to the M5 and larger centres of Cheltenham and Gloucester.
The property is of course surrounded by the lovely undulating Herefordshire countryside for which this part of the world is renowned putting country walks literally on the doorstep!
This a charismatic country home with great kerb appeal and as such a full inspection to appreciate items not specifically covered in this brochure is highly recommended.
