Built in 1815 the property has been refurbished over the past few years, of course retaining its wealth of period features yet these have been masterfully blended with a very modern aesthetic to create a lovely family home.

Enjoying a city centre location, the townhouse sits to the far side of the Old Bridge in the oldest and most picturesque part of Hereford within sight of the Cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. To the rear of the property lie the open green spaces of the Castle Green, Bishop’s Meadow and King George V Playing Fields, offering walking and cycling paths bordering the River Wye although if that seems too strenuous there are cafes with outdoor seating only a short stroll. For those more exercise-minded a myriad of temptations lie on the doorstep including outdoor tennis courts, large children’s playground and the Hereford Swimming Pools.

The Property
Entrance Hall – Beyond the original door with fan window with its delicate tracery above, the Hall has rich-hued reclaimed, parquet flooring that runs along its length to the foot of the original Elm wood staircase and harmoniously on into the Sitting Room.

Sitting Room – The stylish Sitting Room features the original sash window, delightfully retaining its half board shutter concealed in the below-window box. The high ceilings draw the eye to decorative moulding while the room is made cosy by a large wood burner set with low, built-in cupboards to either side.

Kitchen/Diner – The Kitchen is fully-fitted with predominantly white units warmed by solid wood countertops and accented by twin sets of stainless steel fronted drawers sitting either side of space for a 5 burner gas hob range cooker with a stainless steel hood above. To the other side of the Kitchen next to space for a fridge/freezer, dark grey units conceal space for both a washer and dryer. With space to the side for a dishwasher, the double stainless steel sink with integral drainer sits below a window enjoying views down the length of the rear garden and onto the majestic mature trees bordering the riverside. The practical modern Kitchen with exposed timber wall and ceiling beams, interspersed with recessed lighting retains the large, open, exposed brick fireplace with wide stone hearth now home to a wood burner. The old and modern elements are drawn together by the thoughtful use of limestone tile flooring echoing the stone flags of the past. Beyond space for a dining table opens the original wooden door leading down to the Wet Cellar, providing additional storage while an External Door opens into the enclosed rear garden.

Bedroom One – The spacious and carpeted Master Double Bedroom has an original sash window with views to the front and mature trees beyond. It enjoys an exposed timber ceiling beam and features a large, black marble mantelpiece with red motif highlights with a closed, decorative cast iron fire grate.

Bedroom Three – Sharing the second floor with the Master, the smaller Double Bedroom features original, wide Elm floorboards with an opulently rich tone matching the staircase and enjoys a window overlooking the rear garden with wider views to the mature trees of the riverbank.

Family Bathroom – The modern bathroom has full bath and WC, with a rectangular basin set atop a fitted storage unit with open storage to the side. Concealed above the basin, behind the mirror-fronted cupboard door lies the Worcester gas boiler. The bathroom is completed with a chrome heated towel rail.

Bedroom Two – On the third floor the second largest of the Double Bedrooms also has wide Elm floorboards and features a dormer recessed into the pitch of the roofline with a timber-frame window with views to the front, fitted with UPVC, white, New-England style shutters.

Bedroom Four – The last of the Bedrooms also benefits from the characterful Elm floorboards and enjoys a window with views overlooking the rear garden and across the river to the cathedral tower.

Shower Room – The stylish modern Shower Room with large, stone-effect tile flooring features a large walk-in enclosure with Rainhead shower, and is completed with a period-style suite of WC and pedestal basin.

Separate Home Office/Hobby Room – To the side of the rear, slate paved patio lies a highly malleable small annexe providing, with light and power, an ideal Home Office separate from the home. With laminate wood-effect flooring the space offers a studio, workroom or retreat in which to indulge numerous crafts and hobbies. It also has a separate Cloakroom with WC or utilising the existing plumbing was formerly used as a Utility.

Outside

Beyond the Kitchen door lies a paved patio ideal for outdoor dining before the lawn opens beyond the annexe. Dividing the lawn a winding cobble set path leads to a wider cobbled area with space for dining or seating beside the Shed with its attractive cedar tile, side cladding. A trellis fence adjacent to the Shed encloses the rear garden. Beyond to one side lies the Log Store, with the gravel parking area itself enclosed behind wooden gates and accessed via the car park on Wye Street.
