Set in the popular St James area, this ground-floor Victorian conversion flat offers a compact, move-in-ready base a short walk from the city centre, hospital and transport links. The flat benefits from its own private entrance from the rear car park and an allocated parking space — a rare find close to the heart of Hereford.
Recently redecorated throughout, the property has an open-plan kitchen/sitting room, a large double bedroom and a shower room. Modern app-controlled electric storage heaters were installed in August 2025 and there is double glazing throughout. The long lease (999 years from 2009, c.983 years remaining) and low annual service charge make ownership straightforward.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the flat is small (around 334 sq ft) and in a solid-brick Victorian building that is likely to have limited wall insulation. Heating is electric storage, which is convenient but can be costly depending on tariffs and usage. The area shows a higher local crime level, which should be weighed against the excellent central location and local amenities.
This home will suit a first-time buyer seeking a low-maintenance city-base, or an investor looking for a centrally located let. No onward chain and a healthy management reserve add to the ease of purchase, though buyers should budget for energy costs and consider insulation improvements if desired.
