Situation Church Lane Cottage is situated off a quiet lane within the popular, rural village of Ashperton, historically the site of a late 13th century manor house, or fortified castle. The market town of Ledbury is a short drive away and has a good range of amenities to meet most day-to-day requirements, as well as excellent road, rail, and bus links. The Cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are all easily accessible. The surrounding countryside is characterised by traditional farms, orchards, and wooded hills, and is renowned for its scenic and unspoilt rural appeal.
Church Lane Cottage * This pretty period cottage dates from the mid 1,600's and has been lovingly maintained by the current owners during their near 30-year tenure. The original timber framed cottage was extended into the attached period barn last century and now makes a spacious and comfortable 3 bedroomed home.
* The front door opens to a vaulted, quarry tiled entrance hall and stairway. The central hall links all receptions and a quality south facing conservatory opens to the 3 principal rooms, creating flexible entertaining space and great solar gain.
* The centrally located fitted kitchen is enhanced by opening directly to the conservatory, giving a comfortable and informal living environment with easy garden access.
* Two comfortable reception rooms also open to the conservatory, one with Clearview wood burning stove. Two further reception rooms provide a study and library/occasional bedroom.
* At the Eastern end of the cottage is a large utility room with rear door access leading to the garage and a generous raised patio. This room houses the modern boiler and has plenty of space for white goods.
The Outside * This property is approached off and at the end of Church Lane. The gated entrance leads to a generous gravelled driveway and the spacious double garage. The latter has an internal stair to a mezzanine loft, used as a studio and hobby room.
* A covered lean-to behind the garage provides a useful log and garden store.
* The garden is about 0.65 acres and wraps around the cottage with mature hedged boundaries, providing a sheltered and private environment.
* Mainly South facing, the lawned garden is interspersed with rose beds, herbaceous borders, mature trees and a small fruiting orchard.
* There is a large patio at the Eastern end of the cottage and a further patio around the conservatory on the South side. This provides plenty of civilised alfresco entertaining space.
* A public foot path runs along the Southern boundary but is well screened by panel fencing and shrubs. A wicket gate provides easy access from the garden onto the local FP network, great for dog walking.
