Hafod Road, Hereford, Herefordshire, HR1 1SG

An impressive Victorian family home blending timeless period grandeur with contemporary living, arranged over three spacious floors on a leafy road close to Hereford city centre. Offered with NO ONWARD CHAIN.

Built in 1895, this beautifully restored property retains its finest original features while providing all the comfort, convenience and versatility of modern family life. Tall ceilings, decorative cornices, ceiling roses, picture rails, bay windows and traditional fireplaces combined with thoughtful upgrades throughout.

Step through the elegant entrance hall where an original archway and retiled floor set the tone for the spacious rooms beyond. To the front, a light-filled sitting room with a large bay window and bespoke alcove units offers an inviting space to relax. A separate study or fifth bedroom provides flexibility for a home office or guest suite.

At the heart of the house is a spectacular 24ft-wide kitchen and living area, designed for modern family life and effortless entertaining. This superb kitchen is key and I always get asked for kitchens that look just like this, ideal for watching little ones and plenty of space for them to play inside and out safely.

With Shaker-style cabinetry, white granite worktops, a generous island with double butler sink, a Smeg range cooker with induction hob, integrated ovens and dishwasher, and a neatly tucked-away American-style fridge freezer blend style with practicality. Bifold doors open onto the terrace and garden, seamlessly extending the living space outdoors.

A large utility room off the hallway provides extra storage, space for a washing machine and dryer, coat and shoe easy storage, a cloakroom, and direct access to the driveway. Perfect for busy households and everyday family routines.

The open-plan family room, warmed by a modern log burner, creates a cosy hub for relaxed evenings and gatherings.

Practical updates match the home's period charm. The property has a new roof, full double glazing throughout, updated electrics and plumbing, underfloor heating in key areas, a damp course, and stylish iron radiators. All carefully completed by the current owners.

The lower ground floor adds even more versatility, with a generous cellar offering approximately 6 ft 2 in head height. Currently used as a children's playroom, gym and hobby space, it is ideal for storage or flexible use, from a home cinema or workshop to a quiet teenage hangout.

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms, three generous doubles including a principal bedroom with en suite shower room, plus a spacious family bathroom with both bath and shower. Original fireplaces add warmth and character, and a large loft area offers potential for future conversion, subject to planning permission.

Outside, the flat, easy-to-maintain garden is perfect for family life, with bifold doors leading from the kitchen to a sunlit terrace. Side access and a driveway add practicality for busy households.

This exceptional Victorian home combines period elegance with contemporary living in a sought-after Hereford location. Fully updated and move-in ready.
