Inside Hereford's £1.25m house which is now for sale

It's described by agents Knight Frank as a "haven of tranquility in the heart of the city" and is Grade II listed.

In the no-through road of St John's Street, Harley House has a gym, cinema room and cellar, and even has enough space to park five cars.

The listing on Zoopla says: "Harley House is situated behind a tall stone wall in a conservation area overlooking the Cathedral Close and near to the open spaces of Castle Green and the banks of the River Wye.

"The substantial Grade II listed stone building of circa 1739 has an older, perhaps 16th century core. A plaque on the garden wall records that it was the home of the renowned naturalist Henry Graves Bull, 1818-85."

Beautifully presented, the three-storey house, plus a basement, also has five reception rooms, six bedrooms and four bathrooms.

"This historic property has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owners and provides versatile family living and stylishly presented entertaining space in a very convenient city centre location," the listing, which can be viewed here, adds.

"The coach house is self contained and provides useful ancillary accommodation.

"An exceptionally private walled garden has a sheltered terrace, level lawns and mature trees. There is secure parking for at least five cars, accessed through the Coach House."
