Other things to note

The long-term Smithfield car park is located on Lower Galdeford just a very short walk away by the Police station, where you can park for £2.40 per day or £10 for the week. Download the MIpermit APP. Brand Lane is also just 10 minutes from Ludlow train station if you prefer to travel by train!
We have listed that the property is unsuitable for young children but be aware that the house has no front garden and is on a road with a very small pavement, so the front door is close to the road.
