AN APARTMENT in a former hotel within walking distance of Ludlow town centre is on sale with a guide price of £995,000.

The three-bedroom Garden House is a two-level apartment that is part of the Grade II listed Dinham Hall. The hall used to be a hotel and restaurant but was recently converted into housing.

Located near the castle, the hall was built in 1792 by Samuel Nash for Richard Payne Knight of Downton Castle in Herefordshire, who was serving as MP for Ludlow at the time.

Kevin Boulton, marketing the property for Knight Frank, said: “The Garden House provides an exceptional opportunity to own a freehold property, that has a superb garden with attractive lawns, borders and gravelled pathways winding through, and parking for two cars, in part of the fine Grade II listed Dinham Hall.

“Extending to just over 2000 square feet of living space that is mainly on one floor, it provides accommodation that is well-planned, spacious and fits with modern contemporary living within a period building.

“An impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and family room has exposed beams and double doors that open onto the Juliette balcony with views out to Whitcliffe beyond.

“The kitchen is an excellent workspace and has a breakfast bar.

“There is an under croft that runs from the lower terrace into a useful garden storage area and in turn into a sunken garden.

“Dinham is sought-after with access to the River Teme, the Breadwalk and access to the train station.”
