A Well Thought-Out Five Bedroom Detached Family Home with Double Garage on a Sought-After Development South of the River in Hereford

Entrance Hall – Lounge – Dining Room or Snug – Kitchen/Breakfast Room – Study – Cloakroom – Five Bedrooms – Two En-Suite Shower Rooms – Family Bathroom - Double Garage – Parking – Garden

The layout inside the house is versatile with a large kitchen/breakfast room, a formal dining room that is currently used as a snug by the current owners, a ground floor study and scope to use one of the five bedrooms as a second study. Two of the five bedrooms have their own en-suite shower rooms and the other three have use of the family bathroom.

The outdoor space is another selling point for this house: it has a double garage and off-street parking, lawns with pretty cottage borders to the front and a larger than average landscaped garden to the rear.

The Hereford Academy and Marlbrook Primary School are less than half a mile from the house. Most amenities within the city are 1.5 miles away and the train station, for commuters to Worcester, Birmingham and London, is 2 miles away.

The Property

Entrance Hall – the long main hall is well-lit from the front by the windows either side of the front door that add to the symmetry of the front of the house. The under-stairs cupboard provides useful storage space.

Lounge – a lovely sized reception room with double doors opening from the entrance hall. With a bay window to the front and large French Windows to the rear, the lounge has a really spacious feel.

Dining Room – currently used as a snug/TV room, this room really shows the versatility of the layout within the house. The bay window to the front looks out to the small playground opposite.

Kitchen/Breakfast Room – great proportions! This spacious kitchen/breakfast room has ample space for a large dining table and chairs. It has a long, L-shaped run of units and the following 'white goods': dishwasher, electric oven, gas hob, tall fridge-freezer and a washing-machine. The sink is stainless steel, with one and a half bowls and a drainer. The units provide an enormous amount of storage and even have a built-in wine rack. Two windows look out to the herb garden to the rear and the French Windows open out to the south-west-facing patio.

Study – a really useful room tucked away on the ground floor providing a quiet work space.

WC – downstairs cloakroom with a white suite comprising of a loo and basin.

Bedroom 3 – a front aspect double bedroom with ample space for a large double bed, wardrobe and chest-of-drawers.

Bedroom 4 – a front aspect single bedroom.

Bedroom 5 – a single bedroom with a view to the rear garden, making this an ideal choice for a second study.

Family Bathroom – featuring the pretty, iridescent white mosaic tiles, this time with a fresh splash of aqua. The white suite has a bath with a shower over it, a loo and a basin.

Outside

At the front of the house, there is a short path that leads across the lawn and between the mature, well-stocked flower beds and climbers which give the feeling of a cottage garden and make a really attractive entrance to the house.

The double garage and parking spaces are to the side of the house. There is a side gate to the enclosed rear garden which has a sunny, south-west-facing patio and areas of lawn with gently curved, low walls to soften the lines and create a lovely flow around the garden. The maturing trees to the boundary add to a sense of seclusion. An archway, complete with climbing rose, leads to the herb garden, planted in a horseshoe shape, with bay, sage, rosemary and chives and space in the centre for a water feature.
