Scott comments: “Foldgate Farm, has been owned by the vendors for 27 years, during that time they have not only sensitively updated the home, but also created the most wonderful formal and informal gardens, plus orchard. The whole sits together perfectly. Furthermore, its proximity to Ludlow offers some wonderful walks, not only into town, but surrounding the town.”
