Situation Aylton Court enjoys a delightfully rural location; secluded off a quiet country lane and surrounded by beautiful Herefordshire countryside. The property lies within the parish of Aylton, conveniently just 4 miles from the thriving market town of Ledbury. Many of the surrounding villages form part of the "Woolhope Dome" which preserves and enhances the high-value landscape of the surrounding countryside, characterised by orchards and traditional farms. Classed as a conservation area, this region offers a sought-after rural quality of life combined with excellent communication links.
Aylton Court * This elegant and well-proportioned family house is believed to date from the mid-18th century with later additions, with evidence of an earlier farmhouse on the site reputedly dating back to 1496.
* The drawing room and dining room both have open fireplaces and feature bay windows with views over the front drive and rear gardens.
* A spacious reception hall with a beautiful carved oak staircase creates a striking entrance to this wonderful home, which displays a positive array of original features, including sash windows, cornicing and picture rails.
* Accommodation is spread over 3 floors with a comfortable and wide staircase leading to two generous landings and the bedrooms.
* The property offers generous family accommodation, with ample scope for further investment and refurbishment.
The Outside * This elegant property is approached by a sweeping circular driveway, complimented by the magnificent weeping ash tree which is central to the front aspect; encapsulated within an attractive walled garden.
* Attractive mature lawned gardens are mainly situated to the rear, south west aspect of the property, bounded by hedging and trees, with the addition of a productive orchard comprising damson, cherry and apple trees.
* The period red brick and timber outbuilding is currently being used as a double garage. The previous owners obtained planning permission for conversion to a two bedroom cottage, subsequently lapsed but with potential for reinstatement, subject to a new application.
* There are beautiful views to Marcle Ridge, May Hill and The Malvern's from the property.
