This handsome red brick Edwardian end terrace makes an immediate impression and keeps on delivering. From the broad bay window and canopied porch to the stripped pine floorboards, period fireplaces and woodburning stove, the house retains genuine character throughout – paired with well-considered improvements that make it thoroughly enjoyable to live in. The result is a home full of warmth and personality, finished with a confident, stylish touch.

The sitting and dining rooms flow naturally through the house, with the kitchen and utility room extending to the rear. A converted basement bedroom provides a versatile additional space, currently used as a studio and home office, while the first floor holds two double bedrooms each with their own ensuite shower room. Outside, a paved front forecourt provides off-road parking, with an enclosed rear courtyard garden and a timber lean-to at the side offering practical covered storage. Hampton Street sits in the sought after St. James area, within easy walking distance of Hereford city centre, the River Wye and a good range of local amenities.

The Property

Sitting Room: A wonderfully inviting reception room with original stripped pine floorboards, a wide bay window with plantation shutters and a woodburning stove set into an exposed brick fireplace with fire resistant mantel beam. Built-in shelving and cupboards fill both alcoves, adding to the sense of character, while a staircase with striped runner and dusky pink risers lead up to the first floor.

Dining Room: Pine floorboards continue through from the sitting room, with good natural light from a glazed rear external door. A charming arched alcove with built-in cupboard provides a neat focal point, while doors connect naturally to both the kitchen and utility, making this the hub of the home.

Kitchen: A beautifully fitted and distinct kitchen, finished in painted shaker units with white quartz worktops and a Belfast sink with flexible rinser tap. Open shelving provides practical display storage, and a glass canopy extractor sits above the induction hob and integrated fan oven. Despite its compact footprint the kitchen is highly functional, with good light from windows overlooking the rear courtyard.

Utility Room & WC: A very useful addition fitted with sage green shaker units, solid wood worktops and a stainless-steel sink with double drainer, including space below for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Two doors provide access to the lean-to and downstairs WC, which has a vanity unit and chrome towel rail.

Lean To: A clever addition to the side of the property; with a front gate opening to the driveway and open access directly into the garden. Includes tile flooring, power sockets, lighting and fitted shelf storage. Ideal as an outdoor cooking spot and extra storage space.

Basement/Bedroom 3: Colourful stairs lead down from the dining room into the converted basement – a surprisingly spacious and well-lit room with recessed lighting, fitted shelving and a useful storage cubbyhole. Currently arranged as a studio and home office, it would work equally well as a third bedroom, guest room or hobby space.

Bedroom 1 with Ensuite: A generous principal bedroom with plantation shutters and a beautiful ornate original fireplace, complemented by fitted wardrobes along one wall. The ensuite is a particularly impressive space, with a large walk-in shower, vanity unit, low flush WC, LED mirror, heated towel rail, floor-to-ceiling wall panels and recessed lighting.

Bedroom 2 with Ensuite: A comfortable second double bedroom, including plantation shutters, ornate fireplace feature and its own ensuite shower room, fitted with a glazed shower enclosure, grey vanity unit with traditional basin, LED backlit mirror and chrome heated towel rail.

Outside

A glazed door from the dining room opens out to the rear courtyard garden. Porcelain tile paved courtyard has been enclosed with timber slatted screening above original brick walls, with good space for outdoor dining. The space also includes attached storage at the rear, outside tap, power sockets and lighting.

To the front, a generous block paved forecourt provides off-road parking for several vehicles – a valuable asset in this central location. Behind a log store and tall trellis lies an intimate courtyard, creating a sheltered seating spot.
