  •  A traditional spacious three storey cottage set within the heart of the well-known Shropshire medieval town of Ludlow
  • Within walking distance of the vibrant farmers market, shops, and restaurants
  • Great for walking with ancient woodlands, riverbanks and hillsides for you to explore
Property code: 78885

Brimming with charm and character, this Grade II-listed cottage, nestled at the heart of the historic town of Ludlow, is the ultimate escape for couples or small families keen to uncover the local heritage, ancient woodlands, riverbanks and hillsides of Shropshire’s breathtaking countryside.

Where contemporary charm and period touches coexist in perfect harmony, the kitchen/diner will inspire you to get creative with your local produce whilst the generous dining room, bathed in sunlight from the large picture window, is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled with loved ones. On the first floor, you’ll find the characterful lounge; exposed ceiling beams and sumptuous soft furnishings create a truly warming atmosphere that invites weary walking muscles to unwind at the end of a busy day of exploring. The second floor comprises two bedrooms, one double with exposed beams and views towards Clee Hill in the distance, and one twin with exposed beams and charming rooftop views. A well-appointed bathroom completes the interior. Outside, soak up the last of the evening’s sunshine by dining alfresco amongst the pretty borders in the quaint, enclosed courtyard.

Ludlow, a thriving market town and architectural gem, is situated above the River Teme and surrounded by the countryside of South Shropshire. Keen outdoor explorers can find a myriad of walking and cycling trails weaving through the Shropshire Hills, and the magnificent Mortimer Forest 3 miles away. Renowned for its local antique shops and Folk Museum, the vibrant market town of Leominster (11.5 miles) across the border in Herefordshire is the perfect spot for culture vultures to dive into the local area's heritage. The National Trust gardens at Berrington Hall and Croft Ambrey Hillfort can be reached within 8 miles.

Manse cottage is lovely. Warm and cosy with lots of character but also light and airy. The photos do not do it justice. It was spotlessly clean. It is perfectly situated in a quiet side street in the centre of Ludlow.

Cottage is right in the centre of Ludlow so great for sightseeing. Although right by a road the traffic did not disturb us. There is plenty of room with a large kitchen where we easily cooked some simple suppers.

A lovely house, perfectly situated in the heart of historic Ludlow. It is beautifully decorated and very well equipped for a long or short stay. The beds and furniture are very comfortable.

Well-equipped and comfortable cottage in the heart of Ludlow. The secure walled courtyard garden was excellent for our escape-artist dog. Although Ludlow is busy in summer we had no real issues finding parking space on the adjoining road where permit set up. Highly recommended.

This is a wonderful cottage in a prime position in beautiful Ludlow. The owners have really gone the extra mile to create a comfortable attractive home. You have everything you need and beds are very comfortable. Sound proofing is excellent - there were music events on at the castle but we weren't disturbed by noise.

The Manse Cottage was perfect for our stay in Ludlow. Close to the centre, but quiet and private. Very well equipped, and comfortable. Felt live a gone from home. We will certainly be returning to explore more of the area and try more of the cafes and restaurants. Linda was very welcoming and helpful.
