Description

One of just a handful of private residences in the heart of Hereford adjoining the cathedral.  A fascinating history includes long standing connections to the cathedral as well as to Edward Elgar - this handsome Grade II* listed house dates from the 14th Century yet is a comfortable family home on the market for the first time in over 30 years.  A host of historical styles have merged together over the centuries resulting in a home of great variety and versatility from the stunning early 14th century vaulted hall right through to more modern 20th century additions.  Beautifully landscaped walled gardens provide a sense of peace and seclusion with the gentle hubbub of the city in the background - around 1/3 acre.  Gated driveway and parking area for several vehicles.  A rare opportunity to enjoy a unique city lifestyle in this magnificent home, particularly convenient for the Cathedral school,  or perhaps there are opportunities for alternative uses.
