Chain free sale, close proximity to Hereford city and local amenities
Set on about 1.2 acres at Ashley Farm, this detached 1960s bungalow offers an unusual blend of immediate single-storey living and long-term scope for improvement. The main house provides comfortable, traditional accommodation with a sitting room, conservatory, kitchen/breakfast room and three ground-floor bedrooms – a practical layout for families wanting level living close to Hereford.
The property’s true value lies in its land and flexible outbuildings. A large wraparound garden, separate paddock (formerly a touring caravan site with five electrical hook-ups), garage, timber outbuilding, cabin and static caravan create opportunities for hobby farming, ancillary use or small-scale commercial activity subject to consents. The absence of an onward chain simplifies a quick move for a buyer ready to act.
Buyers should plan for renovation and formalising existing changes. The loft has been used as living space but lacks Building Regulation approval and proper stair access; any conversion will require planning/approval. The bungalow also needs general updating throughout, insulation appears lacking in the cavity walls (as-built), drainage is private, broadband is very slow and there is an overage clause affecting development for 25 years from 2019. There is a right of way along the left boundary providing access to the adjacent field and railway line.
This home will suit a buyer seeking roomy, semi-rural living with land — families wanting garden and paddock space, or purchasers with a commercial or hobby project in mind. With good mobile signal, mains gas heating, double glazing and a huge plot, the bungalow is a practical renovation project with clear potential once permitted works are completed.
