Dinham Lodge, Dinham, Ludlow

Just a short walk from the town's imposing market square, past the gardens below the ramparts of its 13th Century Castle stands Dinham Lodge looking out from its elevated position across the meandering River Teme towards the woodland of Whitcliffe beyond.
The house was built in 1799 and retains much of its original splendid Georgian style and character.
Complementary extensions to the drawing room and the kitchen were made in each of the two following centuries
High shuttered sash windows take full advantage of natural light with those at the rear enjoying the picturesque south westerly views. The main accommodation which has partial gas fired central heating is on the three main floors, much of it set out in the symmetrical design of the Georgian era. The large kitchen with its ample breakfast area was added in the 1990s with an inspired curved design looking out across the width of the manageable and relatively secluded gardens.
As well as a high walled courtyard at the front providing plenty of car parking there is space at the side of the house for garaging, subject to listed building consent.

Historic Ludlow, surrounded by the beautiful rolling hills of South Shropshire exhibits a charm and character of bygone times so appealing to those seeking a better quality of life away from the rigours of the 21st Century world. As well as its Castle the town boasts a Cathedral sized Parish Church. The butchers and bakers shops are still in evidence in a community which has a national reputation for good food.

For the past ten years this has been the home of the political commentator and journalist Anthony Howard and his wife Carol.

The opportunity to purchase a residence as distinguished as Dinham Lodge in this exceptional country town is one which might only happen once in a generation.
