Summary - Hillcrest, Little Birch HR2 8BD
2 bed 1 bath House
Spacious plot with double garage and real renovation potential for cash buyers.
Detached Woolaway bungalow on large elevated plot
Hillcrest is an individual detached bungalow tucked off an unadopted lane in south Herefordshire, set on an unusually large, elevated plot with mature, well‑screened gardens and direct access to countryside walks. The single‑storey layout includes two bedrooms, a spacious living room with wood burner, separate dining room, kitchen with utility, rear conservatory and a substantial double garage. There is oil‑fired central heating and double glazing (installation date unknown).
This property is a clear renovation project: the Woolaway system‑built construction and overall condition mean the house requires significant works and is therefore only suitable for cash buyers. The bungalow offers strong scope for sympathetic refurbishment or partial redevelopment (subject to consents) to unlock its potential, especially given the large plot and secluded position.
Practical points to note: mains water and electricity are connected, and a recently installed shared treatment plant is fully compliant. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. There is no flood risk and crime levels are very low, making the location peaceful and secure. Heating relies on an oil boiler with radiators and the external walls are assumed to lack insulation, which will affect running costs until upgraded.
For someone seeking a private rural base, a downsize with scope for improvement, or an investment/rebuild opportunity, Hillcrest presents a rare plot and setting. Be aware of the material constraints (Woolaway construction, renovation requirement, slow connectivity) before viewing; this is best suited to buyers prepared to carry out works or invest in redevelopment.
