The wide and gently sloping Corve Street is lined with Georgian period facades which step up the hill from the River Teme towards the historic town centre, many of the facades conceal much earlier period origins, some of which are Tudor or earlier. The highly photogenic Feathers Hotel towards the town centre has a heavily beamed exterior. Much of the period nature of the street is encapsulated in this character two bedroomed apartment, to the front of the property are Georgian sash windows with narrow glazing bars, the period features are complimented by a fitted kitchen fitted with new appliances and recent redecoration throughout. It is the very period character of the property that we believe holidaying visitors to the town are seeking and that this would make an excellent holiday let.
The thriving Medieval market town has, at its centre, a castle which dates from the 11th Century and together with the nearby Assembly Rooms form the venues for many of the town’s festivities and theatrical productions, some of which are supported by celebrities that have made Ludlow their home. The annual Food Festival is a big draw to the town and is a demonstration of the quality food produce of the area, much of which regularly features in the markets held in the Castle Square, it is no surprise that the town at one time had the distinction of the most Michelin Stars of any town outside of London with chefs such as Shaun Hill, Will Holland and brothers Cedric Bosi of The Charlton Arms and Claude Bosi, now of Bibendum in The Royal Borough of Kensington. The Shropshire Star newspaper recently recognised Mortimers Restaurant, opposite, as one of the best in the town.

Letting - The current owners have previously successfully let both this apartment and 1b next door, both of which are now available with vacant possession. This flat and it's neighbour would make a great buy-to-let rental, or fabulous holiday let option. The 2 units are currently independent of each other, but subject to permission, could be joined with a Jack-and Jill door, allowing for greater flexibility and wider marketing appeal.
The lease has provision for holiday letting, and enquiries with Sykes indicate a gross return of £18,000 or more per unit. We would market this flat for rental at £700 pcm.
