Many original details of this historic property have been lovingly
retained, whilst updating works have been carried out throughout
the years to create a characterful yet spacious family home at the
heart of the City. Herefords iconic Cathedral looms across the
front aspect and is viewable from several points in the home from
large windows that take full advantage. A stunning solid wood
spiral staircase connects all four floors together harmoniously,
including the original barrel vaulted cellar.
Hereford Cathedral has existed on the site of the present building
since the 8th century or earlier and is Grade I listed. Substantial
parts of the building date from both the Norman and the Gothic
periods. The property enjoys doorstep access to the wide range of
amenities Hereford has offer, including recently built shopping
village with multiplex cinema, award winning independent food
eateries and more.
