Summary - THE OLD POST OFFICE BISHOPSTONE HEREFORD HR4 7HX
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful low‑maintenance home ideal for first buyers or couples.
Circa 15th‑century former post office with strong period features
This former 15th‑century post office combines genuine period charm with practical modern upgrades, set in a quiet village west of Hereford. The stone inglenook, exposed beams and oak flooring give strong character, while double glazing, underfloor heating in the dining room and a Nest heating control add contemporary comfort.
The house is compact but well laid out: an open-plan kitchen/dining area, generous lounge with wood-burning stove, downstairs WC and a versatile first-floor landing that doubles as a second bedroom or home office. Off-street parking for two and a low-maintenance, predominantly decked rear garden suit easy living.
Notable considerations: the property is small (approximately 908 sq ft) and better suited to one or two occupants rather than a larger family. Heating runs on LPG (Calor) with external tanks on site — factor ongoing fuel costs and refill logistics. The plot is modest and the cottage fabric, though upgraded, will need ongoing maintenance typical of older stone buildings.
Chain free sale and a rural setting with very low crime make this an attractive purchase for buyers seeking character and convenience close to Hereford, but those needing larger gardens or more bedrooms should note the limited footprint.
