4 Bedroom Cottage

Property Description

Set in the heart of the historic market town of Ledbury, 1 & 2 Church Lane present a rare opportunity to acquire two beautifully characterful period homes. Thoughtfully converted and full of charm, the properties now currently offer two residences - one currently operating successfully as an Airbnb holiday let and the other providing an attractive long-term rental opportunity. Together they offer flexibility for multi-generational living, income generation, or a lifestyle investment in one of Herefordshire’s most desirable towns.

Importantly, the properties retain a connecting internal door, meaning they could easily be reconfigured back into one substantial home if desired, offering exceptional versatility for a range of buyers.

No. 1 Church Lane is an attractive three-storey home combining character features with practical modern living. A welcoming entrance hall with flagstone flooring leads through to a useful utility room with access onto a private courtyard, together with a convenient cloakroom/WC.

The first floor offers a bright sitting/dining room with dual aspect windows and a feature cast iron fireplace, alongside a fitted kitchen with integrated cooking appliances and space for additional white goods.

On the second floor are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both benefiting from built-in storage, together with a contemporary bathroom.

No. 2 Church Lane is a deceptively spacious and versatile home currently operating as a successful Airbnb retreat. The property centres around a generous open-plan sitting, dining and kitchen area with flagstone flooring and excellent natural light, complemented by a separate utility room with access to the courtyard garden.

The ground floor also provides a double bedroom and modern shower room, while the first floor features a further spacious double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room.

Externally, the properties enjoy charming enclosed courtyard gardens with gated access, creating private outdoor spaces ideal for relaxing and entertaining.

Combining period charm, flexible accommodation and income potential in a sought-after central Ledbury location.
