The house has been thoughtfully reconfigured over recent years
to incorporate, convert and repurpose spaces for improved modern
living whilst retaining the character and charm of the classic
1930s architecture and detailing throughout. The new rooms created,
such as the Utility and Pantry add practicality while the original
rooms offer endless malleability; the Family Room provides a more
informal Dining Room, the Sitting Room offers a more intimate or
Snug space for relaxing while the formal Dining Room presents a
spacious family Sitting Room, with each opening directly out onto
the terrace.
Enjoying an excellent and quiet location on a much sought after
tree lined road of period properties, the house is a short stroll
to a local convenience store or less than a 15 mins walk into the
city centre. It further benefits from proximity to both hospitals,
Hereford Colleges and Sixth Form, the nascent university and
railway station and ready access to both the Worcester and
Leominster roads.
The Property
Porch The new Porch charmingly retains the original Front Door
with restored stained glass panel and is lit by the old external
lantern. Highly decorative modern tile flooring denotes a space
providing ample storage for the divestment of coats and boots
before a modern glazed panel oak frame door, common throughout the
downstairs, opens into the Hall beyond.
Entrance Hall The Hall delights in the warm honey tones of its
original narrow board solid wood flooring and features a classic
1930s grand panel staircase with high, large stained glass panel to
match the Front Door, while discreetly concealed is double
understairs storage cupboard.
Dining Room Revelling in both a double glazed period style bay
window with views to the Front Garden with walled flower border and
privacy hedging and French Doors opening onto the house spanning
terrace overlooking the lovely rear gardens and framing views
across the city. The original Sitting Room offers a welcoming and
malleable room, with its border of original narrow board wood
flooring and original plain tile fireplace with iconic shaped
mantel, home to a gas fire.
Sitting Room The more intimate and carpeted room revels in a bay
window of all but floor to ceiling glazing framing sensational
views over the garden and cityspace beyond and with a French Door
leading onto the terrace. The lovely room features an original
fireplace and wood mantelpiece with decorative detailing, now home
to an Arrow wood burner set atop a modern black granite hearth. To
either side of the fireplace are fitted shelves.
Kitchen Family Room The conversion of the original garage has
allowed for the creation of a superb open plan Kitchen offering a
magnetic hub for family life with further ample and malleable space
bounded by bifold doors opening under the shelter of the original
glazed Veranda onto the wide terrace. The Family Room provides a
convivial and informal space for relaxing, with TV position set
within the old fireplace recess retaining its mantel. It provides
ample space for seating and also for an open office area for study.
Equally it offers an obvious Dining Room with room for a large
dining table at which to gather family and friends. The Kitchen
itself is fully fitted with painted Shaker units smartly contrasted
by black granite countertops. The peninsular provides two sides for
seating and conceals the integrated dishwasher. There is space for
a range cooker and freestanding fridge freezer and the array of
storage is further supplemented by the contrasting blue base units
to the far wall. The Franke stainless steel underslung sink and a
half with mixer tap is set beneath the window overlooking the front
garden. The units continue with deep pan drawers and wall units
concealing the Worcester combi gas boiler beside a double Breakfast
Cupboard ideal for concealing breakfast appliances and benefitting
from fitted shelving to 3 sides and including dedicated herb and
spice storage.
Pantry Beyond the wooden latch door steps down the Pantry
providing great storage space for all manner of household
necessities. To the far end is fitted shelving with space for an
additional under counter freezer.
Utility The modern Utility is fitted with Shaker units to echo
the Kitchen and provides a tall double press cupboard, set beside
the stainless steel sink with mixer tap surrounded by solid wood
countertop to match the fitted shelves above. The unit door beneath
conceals space for a washing machine. Beyond the opaque glazed door
lies the Downstairs WC with fitted storage unit and table top
basin, WC, heated towel rail and decorative tile effect cushioned
vinyl flooring to match the Utility.
Bedroom 1 The main bedroom is a lovely spacious Double enjoying
dual aspect with a bay window overlooking the front garden to the
mature trees and period properties of the neighbourhood. While the
second set of windows overlook the lovely rear gardens with simply
stunning wider views sweeping from the distant Cat‘s Back of the
Black Mountains across Breinton Water Tower, the Cathedral tower
and church spires of the city. The carpeted bedroom also benefits
from a wall of fitted storage with multiple wardrobes and
cupboards.
Shower Room Essentially forming an Ensuite for the main bedroom,
the Shower Room features a large corner shower cubicle, WC,
pedestal basin and is completed by chrome heated towel rail.
Bedroom 2 The second Bedroom is also a carpeted Double revelling
in stunning views across the city. It retains both its picture rail
and original mantelpiece.
Bedroom 3 The last of the Bedrooms is also a carpeted Double
basking in glorious views.
Family Bathroom Sharing the same richly hued wood effect vinyl
flooring as the Shower Room, the Bathroom features a full bath with
wall mounted shower and glass screen, vanity double drawer unit
with fitted basin, both WC and bidet, the suite is completed by
twin white heated towel rails. The large corner full height Airing
Cupboard has batten shelving and small radiator. Above opens the
loft hatch to access the roof storage, offering potential to
convert; subject to all relevant planning permissions.
Outside
The front Driveway offers parking for several vehicles and is
privately screened by mature hedging. The secure gated rear garden
features a house spanning terrace of minimal maintenance Composite
decking. It provides ample space for lounging and al fresco dining
with the additional shelter of the original glazed Veranda with
steps descending into the lower west facing gardens. The lower
terraces offer edged beds cascading with scented flowers including
roses and lavenders and a pond with waterfall pump. Discreetly
concealed under the decking steps are storage spaces for garden
tools and equipment. Across the lawn lies a wide border bursting
with cottage garden favourites, flanked by the Garden Shed with
power and Summerhouse for private retreat while 3 raised vegetable
beds spill with produce including herbs and raspberries.
