Ledbury is a thriving and expanding town which has a range of local facilities and amenities including shops, schools, churches, restaurants, theatre, doctors surgeries, community hospital and a mainline railway station, with direct links to Hereford, Worcester, Birmingham New Street, Oxford, Reading and London Paddington. The cities of Hereford, Worcester and Gloucester are all approximately 16 miles distant with the M50 motorway available approximately 4 miles to the south of the town.



Description



Phoenix House is a unique architect design timber frame property constructed in 1999 for the current owners. The design of Phoenix House was influenced by British architect and designer C F Voysey, who was a renowned figure in the Arts and Crafts Movement. The property boasts a number of noteworthy features including oak internal doors and flooring, a striking oak staircase with mezzanine landings, stained hardwood double glazed windows and high levels of insulation.



The accommodation is arranged over three floors and is approached from the ground floor via a wooden staircase leading to a glazed oak framed Verandah. From here a solid wood entrance door leads to an impressive entrance hall with vaulted ceiling, cloakroom, breakfast kitchen with walk in pantry and utility room, formal dining room, elegant drawing room with double height ceiling and a sun room, which opens onto a balcony affording panoramic views across Frith Wood toward Ledbury and open countryside beyond. On the second floor a galleried landing leads to a guest suite with an en suite shower room and a plant room housing the underfloor heating controls and pressurised hot water tank. There is also access to a balcony, which overlooks the drawing room. On the ground floor there is a large reception hall, which in turn leads to the master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, two further double bedrooms, Jack n Jill style family bathroom and a study/fifth bedroom.



Undoubtedly one of the great strengths of Phoenix House is its setting, occupying an elevated position commanding magnificent far reaching views across Ledbury and the rolling Herefordshire countryside beyond. Phoenix House enjoys a south west facing aspect with manicured grounds extending to approximately 1.45 ACRES.
