Guide Price: £1,500,000 *DEMO* Grade II Listed Period Home Available

A stunning Grade II* listed residence set in 37 acres of gardens and parkland, available for the first time in over 50 years.

ASHFORD HALL, LUDLOW
 A much-loved family home that has been well maintained and is full of its original charm with period features including mouldings and fireplaces. Whilst requiring modernisation and updating throughout, over the last four years a full schedule of works has been carried out to repair the roof and parapets of the house.

Accommodation is arranged over three floors with extensive cellars with adjoining buildings to the rear and a Coach House. The opportunity to create an exceptional family home or possible commercial venture of this scale is rare to find. 

THE PROPERTY
 A grand entrance hall at the front of the house has a magnificent staircase rising through the property. Doors open from the hallway into the drawing room and dining rooms that overlook the gardens. To the rear of the hallway is a snug. 
The kitchen is a good size and has ancillary rooms of pantry and utility. To the rear of the house are converted outbuildings currently used as a study and playroom, with secondary staircases rising up through this section. On the first floor in the front section of the house are four-bedroom suites with a further three and additional bathroom to the rear. 
The second floor has great scope for additional bedrooms but has been used as a billiard room and playroom, with an additional two bedrooms plus bathroom.

GARDENS AND OUTSIDE
 The driveway sweeps up through the parkland with paddocks and mature trees screening the property from the road. A gravelled driveway spurs to the parking and turning area to the front of the house, continuing to the rear of the house where there is garaging, a courtyard, further parking and the Coach House. To the rear of the property is a walled garden, Grade II listed in its own right, which currently houses a tennis court (in need of resurfacing) and an old Victorian greenhouse that requires rebuilding. An excellent space with great potential to create something quite special, it also has the benefit of a separate access for the driveway to the rear off Wheat Common Lane.

The Coach House is attached to a neighbouring property. It provides garaging, storage and has scope for further conversion to living space. 

The parklands consist of a series of paddocks with an array of mature specimen 
trees, blocks of woodland and pools. A stream runs through the lower section that 
feeds into the River Teme.
 
History
 Constructed in 1760 by Edward Hall and extended in 1771 by Rev. Jonathan Green, who laid out the parkland and built the walled garden, Ashford Hall was a private family home for most of the intervening years. Ashford Hall was also a Red Cross Convalescent hospital between 1939 to 1945. Past occupants have included an official mourner at Lord Nelson’s funeral, three generations of a military family and Mary Anne Morgan, Viscountess Hereford who lived at the Hall for 24 years from 1900. The property has been the family home of Paul and Margaret McLean since 1973.
