A very handsome and substantial townhouse, only minutes from the city centre, in a highly desirable location. Beautifully presented throughout whilst offering practical and versatile living accommodation, all set in extensive level gardens and grounds of almost 0.75 of an acre.
Situation and Description
Built in the 1880s, and set in a large south facing plot, this well positioned and impressive city residence offers easy access to an extensive range of facilities and services. Most of these are within easy walking distance and include a mainline train station, city hospital, excellent colleges and schools, including Hereford Cathedral School, and the highly regarded Sixth Form College. The city centre also has a choice of shops and restaurants, with the beautiful River Wye and nearby countryside offering a range of outdoor pursuits.
The house itself offers a very rare opportunity to purchase one of Hereford?s grander townhouses, in a highly regarded and well-established location. Standing in sizeable gardens, and with the accommodation laid out over four floors, no expense has been spared in restoring and improving this lovely house. Much of the original character has been preserved whilst contemporary touches enhance the already extensive and practical accommodation. Ideal for a growing family, there are seven very comfortable bedrooms, a self-contained family annex, gym, stunning garden room, and beautifully designed gardens, to mention just a few of the many features.
Initially approached through automatic wrought iron gates, there is extensive parking to the front with steps leading to the front door. A large and welcoming reception hall provides access to a drawing room and separate dining room, both ideal for entertaining, with large walk-in bay windows, period fireplaces and high ceilings. To the rear of the house, a separate study creates a quieter space with fitted bookshelves and cupboards. The kitchen and garden room creates the main hub of the house and blends in with gardens through large, glazed sliding doors. The kitchen is well appointed throughout and includes a range of appliances with granite working surfaces a tiled floor, central workstation and traditional walk-in pantry. The ground floor is supported by a useful utility room and cloakroom.
The garden is a fantastic, light and contemporary space which offers direct access to a large sun terrace and the gardens.
From the main hall, an original pine staircase rises to the first floor where there are four excellent bedrooms (although one currently doubles as a dressing room) and includes a very comfortable master suite with en suite shower room and walk in wardrobe. The remaining bedrooms on this floor are all supported by a luxury family bathroom, additional WC and a small office. The staircase then continues to the second floor where there are three further double bedrooms, ideal for teenagers, and another well-appointed bathroom.
The basement has also been converted and adds another dimension to this very impressive house. Accessed from the main hall, and also from outside, there is a useful gym, playroom, plant room, and a very comfortable self-contained family annex which provides an extra component to this property with a bed sitting room, a separate kitchen and shower room.
Outside
The house is situated towards the front of its plot and has extensive parking and turning space with the drive continuing to the rear and accessed by double wooden gates to one side. The gardens lie to the rear and are the property?s best kept secret. They extend to approximately three-quarters of an acre and have been well planned to create very different spaces. Landscaped immediately at the rear of the house, a large sun terrace leads from the garden room and overlooks a formal garden which is framed by gravel pathways with lawns and central raised pond. A further sun terrace lies to one side with a useful garden store and there are well stocked herbaceous borders enclosed by brick walling on three sides. A gateway leads to a large level lawn/orchard area with mature fruit trees, greenhouse and further herbaceous borders and then on to a cluster of trees and a wild garden with rope swing and wooden fort. There is also a covered outdoor kitchen area with large range style oven, stainless steel preparation unit and American style fridge/freezer.
