Property description
An Immaculately Presented and Characterful Victorian Mid-Terrace with 3 Double Bedrooms in Popular Location with Conversion Potential.
Porch – Hallway – Sitting Room – Dining Room – Kitchen – Cellar – 3 Double Bedrooms – Family Bathroom – Attic – Paved Patio – Low Maintenance Garden A charming property retaining many period features and holding exciting potential to develop, alongside a growing family, by converting the dry cellar and the extensive roof attic; subject to the relevant planning permissions.
Located in a popular area, on a quiet street off the main thoroughfares, this Victorian villa is close to 2 supermarkets and lies only 10 minutes walk to all the amenities of Hereford’s city centre. While Whitecross Academy – a High School and Specialist Sports College is nearby.
The Property
An original red-brick half wall encloses the front garden with path leading to the open Porch sheltering the original half-glazed door. Stepping on into the Hallway with stripped pine floorboards and pleasing ceiling arch.
The Sitting Room has a three window bay making it light and airy and retains not only its original Victorian black fireplace with decorative, floral, surround tiles, now home to a gas fire but also deep wainscoting, ceiling rose, picture rail and stripped door. Deep alcoves to either side of the fireplace offer potential for storage and display shelving.
The Dining Room also holds a feature fireplace with original mantel over a ceramic green tiled hearth. Again twin alcoves offer interest to a malleable space that if a formal dining area is not required, would make a second sitting/family room or Home Office.
The Kitchen is modern and bright with dual aspect windows, a new Worcester combi-boiler and is fully-fitted units with solid wood panels. It has integrated oven with gas hob, hood, dishwasher, washing machine, stainless steel sink and a half and space for a free-standing fridge/freezer. The smart modern feel is completed by the black marble-effect countertop contrasting with the stylish white bistro tile splashback that harmonises with the pale tiled floor. An external Stable door leads into the garden while a half-glazed door leads down into the cellar.
The Cellar is a large, dry, eminently practical space with power points allowing for its current use; housing the tumble dryer, wine cellar and extensive storage. Good height makes it ripe for conversion, with a prescient set by neighbouring homes.
Upstairs the First Double Bedroom is light and spacious, retaining the original fireplace with arched alcove to one side and large original sash window.
The Second Double Bedroom also retains both its Victorian fireplace and featured arched alcove. The Third Double Bedroom to the rear of the house is well sized and features a pretty pitched roof, all bedrooms have deep wainscoting and picture rails.
The Bathroom has a heated towel rail and full bath with centre-mounted mixer tap and shower attachment. The blue and grey full tiled wall rising above the bath matches the splashback of the pedestal basin. The traditional white suite’s style is completed by the WC with its high wall-mounted cistern.
The upstairs landing with its neutral carpeting is well lit by a glass skylight that allows access to the Attic. An extensive space, partly boarded, provides ample storage but could of course be converted into further bedrooms with Ensuite.
Outside
The front garden sets the property back from the street while the rear garden has a pretty, stone paved patio ideal for outdoor dining and featuring semi-circular steps up to a lawn area with rear gate access to the side alley with its flying freehold.
