A Grade II Listed Two Bedroom Terraced House Situated within a Prime Central Location in Ledbury, a Short Walk from the High Street.

The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with the ground floor comprising an entrance hall, sitting room and kitchen. On the first floor, there is a well-proportioned bedroom, that could be used as an extra reception room, a bathroom, two storage rooms, and a landing. On the second floor, there is a further well-proportioned bedroom and access to a large attic space. At the rear of the property, there is a small enclosed garden and beyond that a small carpark where there is allocated parking. Ledbury is a popular historic market town in the east of Herefordshire.

The cathedral cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester offer a wider range of amenities, leisure facilities and shopping, and are roughly equidistant at approximately 17 miles. Birmingham, Bristol and Cardiff are all within 60 miles.
