5 bed country house for sale

Brimfield, Ludlow, Herefordshire SY8

A rare marriage of Georgian grandeur and contemporary comfort, set within beautifully tended grounds of over two acres, in a private tranquil setting within the heart of a superb village.

Brimfield Lodge is a handsome property that pairs the elegance of its Georgian proportions with the ease of modern family living. From the moment you step through the front door, the character of the house announces itself - a beautiful reception hallway rises to an imposing staircase, the wooden flooring underfoot lending warmth and weight to the space. Ceilings throughout are generously high, and intricate plasterwork adds a note of quiet refinement that speaks to the home's heritage.

At the heart of the house, the kitchen/breakfast room is both sociable and hard-working, fitted with a traditional aga alongside a further cooker, Belfast sink and dishwasher, with an adjacent pantry retaining its original slate shelving - a lovely, practical link to the past. A utility room provides additional storage and washing facilities. Three wonderful reception rooms complete the ground floor, each centred around a fireplace, offering a choice of characterful spaces for entertaining or quiet evenings in.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys a double aspect and an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding rolltop bathtub - a genuinely indulgent retreat. Three further spacious bedrooms and a study/fifth bedroom offer flexibility for family life, working from home, or guests, served by a well-appointed family bathroom. The second floor opens into ample attic rooms, ideal for storage, while extensive cellarage below provides workshop space, plant rooms and yet more storage - practical depth to match the house's period charm.

The Coach House
The Coach House presents tremendous potential for conversion into separate accommodation, with planning permission already approved for a further annexe comprising of - an exciting opportunity for multi-generational living, guest accommodation, or additional income.

There is approved planning for a two-bedroom property with open plan living space.

Outside
The gardens and grounds extend to around 2.15 acres of wonderfully private, manicured lawn, framed by mature trees and beautifully stocked herbaceous borders. Two elegant terraces offer the perfect setting for al-fresco dining and entertaining through the warmer months.

Fruit trees are dotted throughout the grounds, softening the formality of the lawns and lending a gentle, orchard-like feel in season - a garden that rewards wandering as much as admiring.

A sweeping, tree-lined driveway with electric gates sets the tone on arrival.

Situation
Brimfield is a well-liked village on the Herefordshire side of the county border, around five miles south of the historic market town of Ludlow. The village has a pub, a village shop (?), a church, and a village hall that anchors a genuinely active community life.

For a further range of facilities, the vibrant market town of Ludlow is only a short drive away with its wider choice of independent shops, delis, pubs, restaurants and schools. Tenbury Wells and Leominster are also close by, and Hereford offers further shopping and leisure options for those who want them.
