Culmington, Ludlow, Shropshire SY8

The property
Dating from the mid-19th century, Culmington Farm has been owned by the current family for over 70 years. It is a double-fronted family home offering more than 4,600 sq ft of light-filled flexible accommodation arranged predominantly over three floors. Designed to offer an elegant yet practical setting for both everyday living and entertaining, the accommodation thoughtfully blends modern amenities with period features such as sash and casement windows, exposed beams, and original fireplaces. From the reception hall—with its original tiled flooring and convenient WC—the layout flows through to the drawing room featuring an inglenook fireplace with a woodburner, a dining room with an exposed brick fireplace, and a spacious kitchen/breakfast/family room. The kitchen/breakfast area features quarry-tiled flooring, a range of base units with wooden worktops, modern integrated appliances, space for a dining table, and access to the terrace. This opens into the family room, which offers an exposed brick corner fireplace with a woodburner.

Beyond is a study with a door leading to a fitted utility room, also with terrace access, and an interconnecting walk-in store.

Stairs rise from the reception hall to the first floor, which provides two double bedrooms, one with a door to a further vaulted double bedroom in the wing, together with a family bathroom with bath and separate shower and a separate cloakroom.

A concealed staircase from the kitchen/breakfast room gives access to the inter-connecting vaulted bedroom, a games room, and a further bedroom. The property’s two remaining double bedrooms and a further useful cloakroom can be found on the second floor.

Outside
Occupying a prominent corner position and having plenty of kerb appeal, the property is approached over a rear driveway providing private parking and giving access to an outbuilding incorporating a double garage, gym, two sheds and a first floor granary. A five-bar gate leads to stabling with hardstanding. The well-maintained wraparound garden is laid mainly to lawn bordered by well-stocked shrub beds and trees and features a workshop, vegetable garden with raised beds, garden pond, numerous seating areas, and a part-covered paved and cobbled terrace, ideal for entertaining and al fresco dining. The whole enjoys views over the property’s pastureland, bordered by a tributary of the River Corve, and surrounding countryside.

Located in the Corvedale near to the Shropshire Hills National Landscape, the quiet historic South Shropshire village of Culmington has a thriving community spirit, a church and village hall.
