6 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

A rare opportunity to purchase a detached late Georgian early Victorian town house within walking distance of the cathedral and Hereford city centre.

The Priory is a well situated period town house which lies within walking distance of the city centre. It therefore has an extensive range of facilities within easy reach including the cathedral and the associated school, a vibrant shopping centre, choice of restaurants and other leisure facilities together with walks along the River Wye, the Courtyard Theatre and much more.

This historic Grade II Listed house retains much of its original character with exposed oak and elm floor boards, original fireplaces and some shuttered sash windows. It also offers wonderful six bedroomed family accommodation, laid out over three floors, with two bathrooms and a shower room and larger than expected gardens, approximately ¾ of an acre, and also benefits from generous off road parking and a single garage.
