This Victorian mid-terrace is arranged over four floors and recently benefitted from internal redecoration, new floor coverings and a newly fitted gas boiler. Accommodation includes two double bedrooms, an attic room, a converted lower-ground cellar, fitted kitchen, reception room and a small enclosed lawn garden — all within easy walking distance of Hereford city centre amenities and transport links. Sold freehold and chain free, the layout and central location create straightforward options for buy-to-let or a first home.
The property offers clear value drivers: gas central heating, double glazing, cellar storage/utility potential and a decent overall footprint (approx. 1,195 sqft) for a central terrace. The newly fitted boiler reduces immediate heating concerns and the converted attic adds usable space without major structural work. Proximity to shops, the train station and local services is a strong convenience factor.
Buyers should note several material drawbacks honestly. The exterior and some internal finishes show weathering and dated elements; external render and paintwork will need attention. The property faces a main road so traffic noise and visibility are factors. The local area records very high crime levels and sits in a deprived area classification; this may affect desirability for some owner-occupiers and rental yields. There is a medium flood risk — buyers should obtain up-to-date flood and insurance advice.
Overall this is a compact, city-centre terrace that suits an investor or pragmatic first-time buyer seeking a chain-free purchase with immediate rental or letting potential. It will reward modest further investment in external repairs and kitchen/bathroom modernisation to maximise long-term value.
