Introduction
Grade ii* Listed Ledwyche House has a delightful, secluded rural setting on the outskirts of the market town of Ludlow, steeped in history, it overlooks Ledwyche Brook and neighbouring fields with the added advantages of a convenient, generously sized driveway and being just 3.5 miles from Ludlow High Street, and the Market Square, approximately 10 minutes by car or 13 minutes via the 292-bus route.
Ledwyche House is formed from the west wing of Henley Mill which dates from the 17th Century. Henley Mill, notable for its two overshot steel water wheels and complete watermill mechanism, was listed in October 1986, Heritage England List Entry Number 1383674, in recognition of its intact water wheel mechanism and many period features that include multi-pane casement windows with segmental brick arches over, plain tiled roofs and ornamental brickwork, with alterations in the 18th, 19th and 20th Centuries and was converted into three residential properties in 1987. Ledwyche House is understood to have also been used as a meeting hall for the hamlet of Henley at which time the current living room was open to the vaulted roof and overlooked by a mezzanine floor.
Arranged over two floors the two bedroom, semi-detached accommodation features heavily beamed walls and ceilings, oak doors with Suffolk latches, tiled floors, a Morso multifuel stove in the living room and a kitchen with oak doors and integrated quality appliances. The hardwood conservatory and paved terraces overlook the garden, the stone boundary wall, and Ledwyche Brook, a minor tributary of the River Teme that has its source south of the Brown Clee Hill, and a field beyond, Ledwyche Brook forms part of the county boundary between Shropshire and Herefordshire at Burford. A semi-detached, two storeys, brick-built workshop with pitched tiled roof alongside the driveway, with the first floor currently accessed via a loft door in the gable end, could, subject to planning permission, be converted to provide additional accommodation or a holiday let.
The thriving Medieval market town of Ludlow, founded in the 11th Century, 28 miles south of the county towns of Shrewsbury and 23 miles north of Hereford respectively, is located at the confluence of the rivers Teme and Corve, and alongside the A49 which bisects the county to the north and south, is notable for nearly 500 listed buildings, many of which are Tudor half timbered, a castle, regular food and drink festivals, gastronomy and a market held in the Market Square a number of times each week.
