Overton Lodge
The main house, dating from the late Georgian/early Regency period, has been carefully and lovingly renovated by the current owner over the past five years, following over sixty years in the previous family's ownership. The house retains a wealth of period features, combining charm and character with extensive accommodation extending to about 5,000 sq ft. There are a range of elegant reception rooms and well-proportioned bedrooms on the first floor. The front of the house has an easterly aspect, with views towards Clee Hill over the paddock.

Letter Box Cottage
A detached stone cottage facing the road within the grounds, Letter Box Cottage has also been refurbished and now offers charming one-bedroom accommodation (previously two bedrooms). With its own parking area and rear garden, it would make an ideal holiday let or annexe to the main house.

The Timber Barn
Set fronting the paddock and adjoining the orchard, this barn previously had planning consent (now lapsed) for conversion to a residential dwelling. It is currently used for storage and housing farm equipment.

The Stable Barn
A detached red brick barn with a charming walled garden to the front and gardens backing onto fields to the rear. Now used for storage, garaging, and as a workshop, it also once had (now lapsed) planning permission for conversion to a dwelling.

Gardens and Grounds
A gravelled driveway with iron gates, set back from the road, leads to a turning circle at the front door and continues to the side of the house, providing access to the outbuildings. The gardens have been beautifully restored, with formal lawns running up to the fields and a walled vegetable garden housing a restored Victorian greenhouse. Paddocks to the front and rear, along with an orchard, create enclosed grounds extending to about 8 acres.

Overton Lodge enjoys a prime position just outside Ludlow, with views towards Clee Hill and immediate access to Mortimer Forest. The thriving market town of Ludlow offers a vibrant community, a wide range of independent shops, restaurants, and pubs, as well as the recently refurbished Assembly Rooms, which provide cinema and theatre opportunities.

Ludlow is bypassed by the A49, offering excellent road links north to Shrewsbury and south to Hereford. The town's railway station is on the Manchester-Cardiff line, with regular services and easy connections to London and Birmingham via Shrewsbury and Hereford.

The area is well served by both state and independent schools, including Moor Park Prep just down the road. For outdoor enthusiasts, Mortimer Forest offers over a thousand hectares of ancient woodland, crisscrossed by footpaths and bridleways-perfect for walking, riding, and exploring away from main roads.
