Property Details

This is a rare opportunity to own a slice of Hereford history in the form of this Grade II*listed, thatched, three to four bedroom family home. Situated just to the north of the city (around one mile to the main shops) and with access the surrounding countryside, the location is ideal.

Off-road parking to the side has an adjacent brick-paved pathway which leads you both to the rear garden and also to the front door, sheltered under a thatched porch which runs along the whole of the front.

The charm of this property, evident on the outside, is truly in abundance on the inside. From the moment you step into the entrance hall, with its flagstone flooring and beams, you get a sense of its history. To your left is the lounge with its feature fireplace, carpeted floor, ceiling beams, window to the side and part-panelled walls.

On the opposite side of the hall is a door to the dining room which is dual aspect with windows to the front and side and is also carpeted with a fireplace (with wood-burning stove) and beams. There is also a built-in dresser-style cupboard with shelves over. The lounge and dining room could easily be swapped over sharing, as they do, a similar footprint and style - one example of the flexibility of the accommodation on offer.

Through the hall, past a cloakroom with wc and sink, and you arrive at the kitchen with its tiled flooring, range of floor and wall units, integral oven and hob with hood over and space for white goods and a dining table and chairs. There is also a utility room with more fitted units and a useful separate pantry.

Just behind the kitchen is another hall with a door to the outside and access to a shower room, with wc and sink, adjacent to what is currently set up as the fourth bedroom. This would serve equally well as another reception room with its arch-shaped double doors - windows on either side - leading to the back garden.

A set of wooden stairs from the main entrance hall lead you to the first floor and the remaining three bedrooms. These all feature the original wooden floorboards, one is dual aspect and one gives access to eaves storage. With fireplaces, beams and quirky features aplenty, they all have something unique to offer and they all share use of the family bathroom. This has a bath with part-tiled wall surround, wc and a sink set into its own bespoke unit featuring tiled splash back, a shelf and storage under.

On the outside, there is a garage with double doors opening out onto the driveway. As previously mentioned, a gate leads you into the back garden which features an array of established borders, shrubs and trees. There is a patio area by the house and other areas suitable for outside furniture as well as a lawned section.

We would be delighted to discuss what is on offer with you and to highlight the versatility of the accommodation on offer - something not always so much on offer in older properties. Viewing is highly recommended.
