The oldest part of Comberton Court probably dates back to the 16th or 17th century when it would have been a small, half-timbered cottage, the original end wall of which is still visible inside the house. Its 18c owners, who would have made money from farming its then 100 acres during the Napoleonic Wars, added an impressive two-storey Georgian extension, complete with its own oak staircase, while what is now the kitchen was probably a 19c dairy. The whole house has been fully restored with the home comforts of 21st century living but with all the period features lovingly preserved.

The house stands on the edge of the pretty Herefordshire village of Orleton, six miles from Ludlow to the north and six miles from Leominster to the south. It now sits on just two and a half acres (though this is enough for us!) with its own driveway and ample parking space.

Downstairs there are two sitting rooms, a formal dining room, a music room, a breakfast room, a downstairs cloakroom, kitchen and back hall. One of the sitting rooms and the music room both have wood stoves and BT TV.. As the house has been extended at different times, there are no fewer than three staircases. Upstairs, the master double bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, and there are then four more bedrooms, two with double beds, one with twin beds and a single bedroom which also doubles as a study. There's a family bathroom with a shower over the bath.

Outside, there's a large table and chairs under a pergola where you can eat overlooking the flower bed and the very large lawn, the far side of which has ten small fruit trees. and a number of specimen trees such as a corkscrew willow and a tulip tree. There is a row of old wooden farm buildings, which provide lots of outside storage space. Our field used to be a traditional Herefordshire apple orchard which we are replanting both with traditional apple trees and with ash trees for firewood, as well as with oak and sweet chestnut trees for future generations. There's a stream at the far end of the field, though as this is securely fenced it's quite safe for children. There is a large vegetable garden behind a hedge where we have an asparagus bed and lots of raspberries. We encourage the local wild life as much as possible and try to garden organically. The place is full of squirrels and all kinds of birds: so far we have logged 24 different species and are still counting, we’ve been adopted by a flock of pheasants, red kites have recently returned to this area and we’ve even had a merlin visit the bird feeders.

Orleton is one of the most attractive villages in Herefordshire, full of black and white timbered houses. It has its own website at www.orletonvillage.co.uk which has lots of information about the village and its organisations. There are now two excellent traditional village pubs. “The Boot” is in the middle of the village which has just been bought by the community while the Maidenhead is at the other end of the main village street. Both pubs do very good food and have lovely gardens. There is also a church, a village shop and post office, together with a school and a doctor's surgery. We're situated six miles south of the town of Ludlow, which the poet John Betjeman called "the perfect historic town", and which is famous for its restaurants, its Spring and Autumn Food Festivals and for its listed buildings. There is a market in the centre of Ludlow most days, and a fortnightly Farmers' Market. You can read more about what Ludlow has to offer at www.ludlow.org.uk.

The surrounding countryside is very beautiful. We're not far from both Wenlock Edge and the Long Mynd - A.E.Housman's " blue remembered hills". The Malvern Hills and the North Cotswolds are both about an hour's drive to the east while the Welsh border is only 12 miles to the west. From there you can get easily to the Brecon Beacons, the Black Mountains and Snowdonia.

From May onwards, there are usually lots of country activities, such as country shows, food and music festivals, not to mention historical re-enactments and displays of jousting and falconry. Malvern Flower Show in May, run by the Royal Horticultural Society, is nearly as grand as the Chelsea Flower Show! There are great houses to visit such as Hampton Court Castle (which pre-dates Henry VIII's Hampton Court), Berrington Hall, Stokesay Castle, Ludlow Castle and Croft Castle and gardens aplenty. Shrewsbury, which is one of England's finest medieval market towns with over 600 listed buildings and which is the setting for "Cadfael", lies an hour's drive to the north, while you can reach Chester within an hour and a half. Here you can walk round the old city wall, visit the wonderful 11c cathedral and the unique double-storied 17c shops.

If you like the theatre, Malvern Theatre has many pre-London productions and is about an hour away by car. The Royal Shakespeare Company at Stratford-upon-Avon and the Everyman Theatre at Cheltenham are a little further - about an hour an a half each way, but we do go to matinees at both on a regular basis.

- Buzzy restaurants: The Boot at Orleton, Mortimers in Ludlow, ,The Roebuck and too many others tk mention.
- Cozy cafés: too many to mention in Ludlow and Leominster
- Retail therapy: Ludlow, Leominster, Hereford
- Bit of culture: Hampton Court Castle, Croft Castle, Ludlow Castle
- Walks in the park: Lots of local walks - The Malverns & The Long Mynd are perhaps the best known.
- Spot of exercise: Golf Clubs in Ludlow and Leominster, Riding stables Ludlow, Leisure centres with swimming pools in Leominster and Ludlow, indoor bowling in Leominster.
- Day tripping: The Black and White Trail, the Cotswolds,

Andet

You will need a car to get the most out of any stay here as there is very little public transport. We are happy to exchange cars: we have a very good-tempered and very economical diesel Skoda Octavia available.
