- Requires full refurbishment throughout; modernisation needed

A centrally located two-bedroom end-of-terrace on St Owen Street offered chain-free and ready for a full refurbishment. The property is a traditional late-Victorian/Edwardian brick build with a front bay window, cellar and a gated side access leading to a long, narrow rear garden. At about 1,228 sqft overall, the footprint is larger than many terraces in the immediate area, giving scope to reconfigure or extend subject to consents.
The house has clear potential for value uplift: double glazing is fitted (installation date unknown), mains gas boiler and radiators are in place, and the property’s size and central location make it appealing to investors or buyers seeking a renovation project close to Hereford city centre. Being offered freehold and with no onward chain simplifies purchase and refurbishment planning.
Material issues are present and stated plainly. The home requires full refurbishment throughout — dated kitchen and bathroom fittings, worn floor coverings, and an older wall-mounted boiler are visible. Walls are original solid brick (assumed uninsulated) and the property will benefit from modern insulation, electrical upgrades and likely heating improvements. The plot is small and the neighbourhood records higher crime levels than average, which should be factored into rental or resale assumptions.
Overall this is a practical renovation opportunity for an investor or a buyer wanting to create a tailored central Hereford home. The location places shops, schools and transport within easy reach; with careful updating the property could deliver strong appeal and improved returns in this transitional city location.
