The Grove

The Grove is a splendid three storey Grade II Listed house. It is reputed to have been the Dower House to nearby Moor Park and dating back to the 18th Century. It stands in a beautiful rural setting in the tiny ancient village of Ashford Bowdler on the Herefordshire/Shropshire border off the A49 about three miles south of Ludlow.
Quite a lot of house and land for your money! Very nice looking house.

Reader’s House

Described by Sir Nikolaus
Reader’s House is Described by Sir Nikolaus Pevsner as ‘an extremely picturesque piece of Ludlow blackandwhite’ this is undoubtedly one of the finest properties of its type to be found in the country with the fabulous three-storey timber-framed porch with elaborate cravings that have been described as \’a masterpiece of Ludlow carving\’. Readers’ House has fulfilled a number of functions and dates back to the early 17th Century.Painstakingly renovated and rescued from inclusion on the Buildings at Risk Register by the current owners, this property has been restored and modernised to accentuate the wonderful features throughout whilst providing accommodation suitable for contemporary living. Winning the inaugural “Heritage Award of the Year”, the comprehensive modernisation has included the refurbishment of much of the building, whilst it has also been rewired, re plumbed, has had a new central heating system fitted, two new bathrooms and a new kitchen. Unusually for a property of its age

I don’t often post semi-detached houses on here – in fact this might be the first, but I thought this was worthy of adding. It’s in the beautiful historic town of Ludlow. I visited Ludlow in August and enjoyed walking round the lovely town and castle.
The floors look really well polished. The front door is amazing. A real piece of history.

Nest protect from B&Q

I was only saying the other day that it’d be really good if a smoke alarm could let you know by phone there was a problem.
The Nest Protect system allows you to get a message on your smartphone or tablet if the smoke or CO alarm goes off.

Prepare for an emergency with the ‘What to do’ feature – enter an emergency contact and when something goes wrong you’ve got a plan. Nest Protect will also notify you long before its batteries get that low so you can replace them.

Nest Protect constantly monitors the air and lets you know you’re safe.
It tells you where the fire is and what to do.
Hush false alarms with a wave of your hand.
Get messages to your mobile when there’s an emergency or if the batteries need changing.

B and Q has a wired and a battery version.
