Summary - 6 Villa Street, HEREFORD HR2 7AY
Riverside location with direct river access and panoramic water views
Five double bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom
Boathouse with power and lighting; lower-level storage/garage
Recently renovated throughout; modern kitchen and fittings
Adjacent plot with full planning permission granted in perpetuity (P240635/V)
Off-street parking for several vehicles and a decent front garden
Medium flood risk due to riverside position — insurance may be costly
Hereford council tax band E; wider area shows high local deprivation
Watersong is a spacious five-bedroom detached home sitting on the banks of the River Wye, recently updated throughout and arranged over three levels. The principal living room and main bedroom take advantage of the riverside aspect with large windows and a balcony, while the lower level includes a boathouse and useful store. The ground and upper floors provide generous family living space: kitchen, formal dining room, utility and three bathrooms. Off-street parking and a lawned garden lead down to the riverbank.
A significant value driver is the adjacent plot with a Lawful Development Certificate and full planning (application P240635/V) for a replacement dwelling (House Type C) granted in perpetuity — offering clear development or rental potential. The property's recent renovations mean it is ready to occupy with modern fittings, heating via mains gas and double glazing (installed pre-2002).
Buyers should note material considerations: the site has a medium flood risk given its riverside position and Hereford council tax band E means running costs are above average. The wider neighbourhood scores as a very deprived area in local indices, which may influence resale or tenancy markets despite the central riverside location and excellent transport links.
This home will suit families seeking riverside living close to Hereford city centre, and investors or developers looking to capitalise on the adjacent planning consent. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the river setting, boathouse and the practical scope offered by the extra plot and generous internal layout.
