Ashford Carbonel, Ludlow, Shropshire, SY8

This individually designed house is set on the edge of the village of Ashford Carbonel which has always been reputed to be one of the finest residential villages in South Shropshire. It is just a very short drive from the historic medieval market town of Ludlow and it is surrounded by some beautiful countryside. There is a very well used village hall and an active community. Various activities take place within the village and there is a parish church and village primary school. Hill View is situated just off a no through quiet lane opposite the historic village church. From its elevated position there are views towards distant hills beyond Ludlow to the west, and across the village to the south and east. You approach the property across a large paved driveway offfering ample parking for a number of vehicles. From the front door you are led into a porch area, and on from here into the impressive entrance hallway, with wooden flooring and stairs rising in front of you to the first floor. A further staircase to your left leads down to the basement which offers versatility in usage and is currently used as a TV room, but could be a games room or offering plenty of space for office use if required and also in the basement is a useful bootroom. To your left is the well-proportioned sitting room with large window to the rear looking out over the rear garden. The room is centred around a fireplace with inset woodburning stove. The open plan kitchen, dining and garden room are a real highlight of this property. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a range of contemporary grey units with wooden worktops over. To one end of the kitchen is a dining area offering plenty of space for a family table and chairs, a large archway from here opens into the garden room. This space provides a perfect space to sit and enjoy looking out over the garden, and enjoys double doors out making it a lovely space to enjoy particularly during the summer months. At the end of the kitchen is a cooking and food prep area which is very much part of the main kitchen, which offers space for further appliances including a built in oven, hob with extractor over and dishwasher. There is a Belfast sink which sits beneath a window looking out over the side elevation. A door from here gives access to outside. The dining room is well-proportioned and offers a more formal room for entertaining guests, and has a window to the side elevation. The accommodation on this floor is completed by a study, which would be perfect for a home office and newly completed and fitted shower room. Upstairs, there is a galleried landing from which there are four double and one single (currently used as a dressing room) bedrooms and two bathrooms. The principal bedroom has fitted wardrobes, and double doors which open onto a Juliet balcony. The ensuite shower room is contemporary with large shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. There is also access to the loft from the landing which is boarded with new ladders and a widder hatch. All of the bedrooms enjoy different aspects out over the surrounding countryside and all include fitted wardrobes. The family shower room has a large shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin. The gardens are beautifully maintained. To the rear of the home is a low maintenance garden. There is a large area which has been laid with astroturf. To one end of this is a summer house which is partly glazed, which provides a space to relax and look out over the garden. The boundary is enclosed by fencing, low level brick wall and glass balustrade. Steps from this higher level lead down to a patio area, offering further space for seating. The rear of the property looks out over the adjoining neighbour's orchard. To the front of the property is a large single garage/workshop which is boarded, with new ladders and a wide hatch. To the left of this is a formal garden area, bordered by a red brick wall and mature hedge which has an area laid to lawn and vegetable beds.
