The Property - Serendipity is a delightful, detached stone-built bungalow barn conversion, one of four properties once part of the farm belonging to Elsich Manor. The approach is along a tarmacadam drive set across farmland, directly off the B4365. The property itself is accessed via double wooden electric gates, leading onto a gravelled driveway with ample parking, beyond which the stunning views towards the Clee Hills are revealed. Whilst only a short drive from the historic market town of Ludlow, Serendipity provides a peaceful haven from the hustle and bustle of daily life. A practical feature offset at the top of the drive is a bespoke timber shed, fully insulated with power and lighting making it an ideal workshop. The drive leading down to the property is flanked by a shrub border on one side and a mixture of old and new fruit trees on the other. A large patio area in front of the house provides plenty of space for outside entertaining. There is a wraparound garden which the current owners have designed to take full advantage of the sun, with seating placed to enjoy from sunrise to sunset. To compliment the garden and set at a lower level to the rear of the property, is another large bespoke timber shed, fully insulated with lighting and power, currently used as a potting shed/craft room.

Serendipity has a lovely charm about it, combining spaciousness with cosiness in equal measure. It's full of character, a solid house, yet light and airy with a modern feel to it. It has plenty of storage areas, together with a large loft space, all of which allow it to retain a streamlined contemporary interior. A key feature of this property is its versatility, providing flexible living spaces inside and out.

The accommodation starts with the oak framed entrance porch which can be used in a multiple of ways, being large enough to be used as a boot room, extra seating area, extra utility area etc. The open plan kitchen/dining/sitting room is a magnificent feature, giving a real sense of space and light. The ceiling rises into the apex of the roof and there are a wealth of exposed beams and trusses. In the kitchen you will find an integrated dishwasher, oven with an induction hob and extractor and there are ample base and wall units. There is also a Hudson kitchen island with a mottled limestone top, together with 8 wooden crates for storage. The living area has a stunning built-in log effect electric fire and wall mounting for a television above. From the sitting area, wide double-glazed panels with sliding doors in the middle lead into a most impressive oak framed sun lounge, which enjoys the benefit of the sunshine for most of the day. It is a lovely space and from the fabulous picture window there are views across the beautiful Coverdale countryside and up to the Clee Hills. The sun lounge has under floor heating and tall French windows leading out onto the back patio and decking area, which in turn through to the rear lawned garden. In this garden you will find a lovely bespoke Shepherd's Hut [2021], set on hardstanding with a side decking area. It has a built-in king-size bed, a countertop with butler's sink and fridge below, together with ensuite shower, sink and chemical toilet. It makes perfect guest accommodation and is an idyllic space for relaxation all year round.

The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite shower room with WC and wash hand basin. From the bedroom there are paddle stairs leading up to a small landing, off which there is a useful storage cupboard. A separate door leads to a light and airy loft room with two skylights, affording beautiful views up towards the Clee Hills and is currently being used as an office/craft room. Back on the ground floor and off the inner hallway are two further double bedrooms and the main bathroom, comprising of bath, wash hand basin, WC and electric towel rail. One bedroom has glazed panels with inset sliding doors leading out onto a patio and enclosed garden, which has the benefit of the late afternoon and evening sun with an electric awning for shade. The other bedroom is currently being used as a snug and has access via a drop-down loft ladder to the large, boarded loft space.

This is a truly delightful property, providing wonderfully flexible living space both inside and out, with plenty of scope to make it your own, a real home waiting to be enjoyed.
