A rare opportunity in the heart of Hereford: this Grade II* five-bedroom detached house sits immediately adjacent to the Cathedral and has been a private residence for over 30 years. The accommodation is a journey through centuries, from an early 14th-century vaulted hall to later 20th-century additions, offering grand reception rooms, a magnificent first-floor banqueting hall and a large master suite with balcony overlooking the gardens.
The property is set within beautifully landscaped, walled gardens of around one-third acre, providing a secluded city-centre haven. A gated driveway provides off-street parking for several cars and a discreet side gate leads straight into the cathedral precinct and local amenities, including excellent independent and state schools nearby.
This home will particularly suit a family seeking historic character and generous space, or a buyer with an interest in a prestigious city residence with potential for sensitive adaptation. Note that its Grade II* listed status will impose restrictions and require specialist consent for alterations. Council tax is described as quite expensive and the immediate area records very high crime levels, factors to weigh alongside the house’s unique central location and scale.
Practicalities include mains services, cellarage and multiple reception rooms for flexible family living. Broadband speeds are average and the property has excellent mobile signal. Buyers should be prepared for listed-property maintenance and any conservation-led repairs that may be required over time.
