34 St. Martins Street, Hereford, HR2 7RE

Property Description

A three story Grade II listed townhouse situated just off the city centre

Situation and Description

The property is situated within a conservation area at the southern end of St Martins Street and is within easy walking distance of parks, the river Wye walks, leisure facilities including the swimming baths and gym, tennis courts, restaurants and cafes; the city centre with a wide range of services and amenities is approximately a 5 to 10 minute pleasant walk via the old River Wye bridge and cathedral grounds.

The property itself constructed circa 1820 with the recent rear extension completed in the late 1990’s, is Grade II listed and comprises deceptively spacious four bedroom two bathroom accommodation arranged over three floors.

In recent years the property has provided a useful income as a rental unit hence would be both suitable for an investment buyer or as a family home. The property has been redecorated, had new carpets fitted, and a new Wren kitchen (with both gas and electric cooker connections available) and has a large fully enclosed rear garden which has been cleared of foliage etc and is ready for the new owner to plant or landscape as required.
