4 Portland Street, Weobley, HR4 8SB

A beautiful terraced character cottage dating back to 1472 in the heart of the well equipped village of Weobley, one of Herefordshires renowned 'Black and White Trail' villages

Situation And Description - Weobley, one of Herefordshires most beautiful villages known for its abundance of medieval properties and situated on the 'Black and White trail', is approximately 11 miles northwest of Hereford, 9 miles south east of Leominster and 9 miles south west of Kington. The village has many historic buildings including the church of St Peter and St Paul, the Old Grammar School and, in what was once the old court building, a small museum and heritage centre which offers insights into the village’s rich history and heritage, showcasing artifacts and exhibits from the local area. The village is surrounded by picturesque countryside, with numerous walking trails offering stunning views and a chance to explore the natural beauty of Herefordshire, The Weobley circular walk (see link) takes in much of the village and several of the pubs for refreshments enroute. The village is very well served by many shops including a general store, independent butcher, several speciality shops and cafes, two public houses and an Indian restaurant, several hairdressers, beautician, doctors and dentist and both primary and secondary schooling, both held in high regard with 'good' Ofsted ratings.

Both Hereford and Leominster offer a wider range of services and amenities including mainline railway stations, hospital and medical facilities, leisure and recreational.

The property itself offers a beautiful example of a ‘half-wealden’. The medieval occupant would have had a compact two bay building comprising two ‘halls’ which offered both a home and commercial potential. The recessed section on the right was the hall with an open hearth, and on the left, two shuttered windows of the shop with, jettied above it, the ‘solar chamber’ – not solar as we now use the word, but in medieval times a solar (or soller) was simply a room above the hall designed as private living and sleeping quarters and usually access via a ladder!

The property has been beautifully renovated to now provide a home brimming with character which has been restored and modernised and now offers a lovely open plan kitchen/dining/living area with a useful hidden away utility cupboard on the ground floor and an impressive master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and second bedroom with storage along with a modern bathroom. The period features such as the original ogee door heads, chamfered mullioned windows and cusped roof trusses sit alongside the modern day fitted kitchen units and bathroom to create comfortable living with a feeling of stepping back in time when you look through the master bedroom windows!!
