The captivating property, built in the 1890s has been completely
stripped back to its bare brick and with considered attention paid
to reworking the floor plan, has created a superb modern family
home with great open flow and adaptable living spaces throughout.
Pleasing touches of its period history have been retained including
the original fireplace and timber roof beams which are echoed in
the selection of new decorative Hall tile flooring and use of
heritage colours. The west facing enclosed rear garden exemplifies
the unexpectedly private and quiet nature of this city home.
Quietly concealed at the end of a long private Driveway, the house
boasts an excellent location with direct access to the A49; the
main north south county artery. Nearby Holmer roundabout also
connects to routes for Worcester, Hay On Wye and Brecon. Within a
short stroll are Ofsted Outstanding primary school, Hereford
Leisure Centre with next door Skate Park, Golf and Racecourses,
allotments, petrol station with Asda convenience store and numerous
retail outlets. While a less than 10 mins cycle ride lies the city
centre.
The Property
Rain Porch The triple arched red brick Porch with decorative blue
and buff detailing and Indian sandstone paving offers an elegant
yet practical entry and shelters the new Front Door.
Entrance Hall In a charming nod to the highly decorative quarry
tiles common to grand Victorian hallways, the Entrance Hall
displays new statement tile flooring and features a 6 smoke glass
bowl chandelier. The long Hall is flanked by modern black glass
panel double doors to both the Sitting and Family Rooms. To the far
end an opaque glazed External Door opens into the rear garden,
while to either side lie the Downstairs WC with built in wall
cupboard home to the new Worcester Greenstar Ri gas boiler and the
Cloakroom providing ample storage for the divestment of outerwear
and home to the hot water cylinder.
Sitting Room The inviting Sitting Room delights in a bay window
with the new pebble grey Upvc windows fitted throughout the house.
The room painted in a rich heritage colour is made even more
welcoming by the retention of the original brick fireplace, home to
an eco Clearskies wood burner set atop a wide slate hearth with
timber beam mantel above and the honey tones of the oak effect
laminate flooring. The period style, new energy efficient column
radiator is flanked by twin glass ribbed bowl wall sconces. Further
options for various lighting moods are offered by the recessed
lighting and central pendant fitted with 6 glass bowl
chandelier.
Family Room Across the Hall lies the Family Room, a carpeted and
highly adaptable space. It also features a column radiator and
array of lighting options with recessed lighting and both dipple
glass bowl wall sconces and 6 glass ball chandelier. Enjoying dual
aspect fitted with double horizontal awning casement windows, the
room offers an ideal Study Home Office, quiet adult retreat or cosy
Snug for family relaxation.
Kitchen and Dining Room The spacious open plan Kitchen and Dining
Room offers an impressive heart to this home. The Kitchen is fully
fitted in Shaker units smartly contrasted by white quartz
countertops. The array of storage across base and wall units with
even a plate rack, conceals integrated fridge and freezer, beside
built in electric oven with combination microwave oven above. Below
one Kitchen window lies the Belfast sink fitted with boiling water
mixer tap and set beside the integrated Hotpoint dishwasher. The
second window framing views into the rear garden sits beside the
ceramic hob with deep pan drawers below and Neff black hood above.
The units continue along to form a peninsula with storage and
breakfast bar seating, with useful double socket with USB charging
slots and highlighted by triple light pendant. The Dining Room with
twin wall sconces to match provides a convivial space framed by
French Doors opening onto the stone paved patio and benefits from
ample room for dresser and sideboard flanking a large dining table
at which to gather family and friends. To the far end of the room
the pitch of the roof, naturally lit with twin Velux supported by 4
spot track lighting, creates another malleable space. It would
prove ideal as a Family Room area for informal relaxing on comfy
sofas, equally useful as an open Home Office or Study area easy to
monitor children‘s homework and online activity or a play area for
youngsters.
Utility With unit, countertop and oak effect flooring to match the
Kitchen, the Utility provides under counter space for both washer
and dryer. The underslung stainless steel sink benefits from a
dedicated electric hot water heater and wall mounted heated towel
rail.
Bedroom One The Principal Bedroom is a carpeted Double enjoying
dual aspect and framing views over the church and side. It benefits
from the recessed lighting and oak veneer doors with black handles
common to much of the upstairs. Steps lead down into the sleek
Ensuite with large, non slip matt, marble veined porcelain tile
flooring. It features a vanity unit basin with black fixtures and
twin drawer storage and above a touch control, heated de misting
LED lit wall mirror. The suite is completed with WC and large
sliding door shower enclosure with both regular and Rainhead
showers.
Bedroom Two The second bedroom is a spacious and carpeted Double
with fireplace recess. Above lies the roof storage with lighting,
accessed through the loft hatch.
Bedroom Three The carpeted Double Bedroom features a proud and deep
triple aspect bay window with cityscape views framing the far spire
and Cathedral tower. The bay offers a lovely spot for relaxed
seating or an ideal location for the desk of an industrious teenage
student.
Bedroom Four The deep pitch of the long roof picked out with its
triple exposed timber beams creates a characterful fourth carpeted
Double Bedroom. Lit by black track lighting and twin spots to the
central beam, the room enjoys dual aspect with high window to the
city and opposite low window overlooking the rear garden. It offers
an ideal children‘s room with low play area or deep storage space
for Home Office.
Family Bathroom The spacious Bathroom features double ended full
bath with wall mounted black mixer tap and shower attachment. The
wide basin topped vanity unit provides twin drawer storage with
touch control, heated de misting LED lit mirror above. The suite is
completed with spacious walk in shower enclosure with herringbone
tiling, recessed alcove and glass screen panel and a large, black
heated towel rail. The Bathroom with tile flooring to match the
Ensuite, benefits from two exposed timber roof beams home to black
track lighting arrays and also features a central ribbed glass bowl
pendant.
Outside
From the main road the long private Driveway leads back beside the
church and into the expansive and securely gated front of the
house, offering exceptional space for parking numerous vehicles
including work vans and even caravan motorhome. The grounds benefit
from PIR outdoor lighting, tap and double outside sockets. The two
raised beds surrounding the mature screening boundary trees are
made from bricks recycled from the house and used to top the
existing walls. To the side of the house a high fence with gateway
opens into the securely enclosed and private rear garden with
gravel area for discreet household bin storage. The garden features
a newly laid lawn and wide Indian sandstone paving creating both
relaxed seating areas and patio for outdoor dining.
