Brimming with charm and character, this Grade II-listed cottage, nestled at the heart of the historic town of Ludlow, is the ultimate escape for couples or small families keen to uncover the local heritage, ancient woodlands, riverbanks and hillsides of Shropshire’s breathtaking countryside.

Where contemporary charm and period touches coexist in perfect harmony, the kitchen/diner will inspire you to get creative with your local produce whilst the generous dining room, bathed in sunlight from the large picture window, is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled with loved ones. On the first floor, you’ll find the characterful lounge; exposed ceiling beams and sumptuous soft furnishings create a truly warming atmosphere that invites weary walking muscles to unwind at the end of a busy day of exploring. The second floor comprises two bedrooms, one double with exposed beams and views towards Clee Hill in the distance, and one twin with exposed beams and charming rooftop views. A well-appointed bathroom completes the interior. Outside, soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco amongst the pretty borders in the quaint, enclosed courtyard.

Ludlow, a thriving market town and architectural gem, is situated above the River Teme and surrounded by the countryside of South Shropshire. Keen outdoor explorers can find a myriad of walking and cycling trails weaving through the Shropshire Hills, and the magnificent Mortimer Forest 3 miles away. Renowned for its local antique shops and Folk Museum, the vibrant market town of Leominster (11.5 miles) across the border in Herefordshire is the perfect spot for culture vultures to dive into the local area's heritage. The National Trust gardens at Berrington Hall and Croft Ambrey Hillfort can be reached within 8 miles.
