Situation Adforton village is well located for nearby towns and schools. The Historic market town of Ludlow just 9 miles away is renowned for its food, independent shops, restaurants, festivals and architecture. The village of Leintwardine (2 miles) has a shop, a butcher, garage, post office and doctor’s surgery, whilst Wigmore School and other local schools are highly regarded. All the surrounding villages have excellent pubs and restaurants. The Property Adforton House is believed to date from the late 19th Century with later additions, beautifully presented with fine period features including high ceilings, coving, tall skirting boards, panelled doors and period fireplaces and in an excellent location. Its surrounding land gives it privacy and has an elevated southerly aspect which overlooks the elegant formal garden towards panoramic views across the valley. The gated drive sweeps around the front of the house continuing on to the courtyard at the rear. The front door is sheltered by a glazed porch and the Hall includes a fine late Georgian staircase with the cellar door under as well as a cloakroom and a cupboard. The Dining Room and Sitting Room both have open fireplaces and deep bay sash windows whilst the Drawing Room has French doors to the garden and a clearview stove. The fabulous and recently installed bespoke handmade kitchen has a recessed four oven Aga with a fine mantelpiece above, fitted double Belfast sink with granite worktops, Neff dishwasher, oven and gas hob and tiled floor. It links to the Hall as well as the Breakfast Room in between which is the Laundry Room with a connecting door to the integral double garage and back door to the rear porch and courtyard. On the first floor the large landing leads to six well proportioned beautifully presented bedrooms enjoying far reaching views and three modern bathrooms. The top floor has an open layout and is perfect for an office, nursery or additional accommodation.

Outside the garden is one of the particular features of the house. The formal garden on the south side has a central gravel path from the house with lawns either side edged with symmetrical box topiary. A hexagonal summer house enjoys the views and there is a well fenced kitchen garden beside the courtyard. The Courtyard Buildings and Land Situated at the back of the house and adding additional privacy from the lane, the courtyard consists of a stable block with loose boxes and a three bay steel portal frame barn either side of which are two dutch barns. These buildings have a separate gated entrance off the lane which also gives access to the paddocks which surround the house on three sides.
