Cosy home set in rooftops

rooftops.jpgAnnie Gurr-gearing and Deborah James have a gorgeous and unique home that is set in one of the quaintest and most picturesque streets of Ludlow.

Rooftops in Church Street is aptly-named, as it lies above the pretty Mousetrap cheese shop and wonderful views over the town’s rooftops can be enjoyed from its top windows.

A Grade II listed two bedroomed home with open plan living area and kitchen, it lies over three floors. It is packed with charm and character and has an abundance of beautiful oak beams and floorboards.

sh22gg-10.jpgSet smack bang in the middle of town it is ideal for town living, as Ludlow’s famous speciality food shops, renowned restaurants and castle is literally on its doorstep, and it also has the rare luxury of having its own off-street car parking space.

As the friends are now planning to move on, they have put Rooftops up for sale through Lane Fox of Ludlow for £220,000.

Since buying the leasehold property 12 years ago, Annie and Deborah have decorated it throughout and installed an additional luxury bathroom.

The property has an open plan living/dining room adjoining an open plan kitchen, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a parking space and a shared fully paved garden area.

Features also include tall sash windows plus an ancient internal door, while another door, to one of the bathrooms, is believed to have once been positioned in a pub, as there are dart marks on the one side.

sh22gg-4.jpgRooftops is very charming and has a wonderful friendly and warm atmosphere. A door at the side of the property opens up to a flight of steps to a small first floor landing, while another door opens to the open plan living and dining room with adjoining kitchen.

This is a very attractive room, with lots of character and two sash windows overlooking the street - the kitchen area has a number of units and plumbing for both a dishwasher and washing machine.

Stairs rise to the second floor - here is a good sized double bedroom, a landing and a good sized bathroom, while further stairs lead up to the third floor.

Again it is a wonderful space with a vaulted ceiling and beautiful exposed timbers - views over the rooftops and countryside beyond can be enjoyed from here.

Further details are available from Lane Fox of Ludlow on 01584 873711.
