A historic 14th-century house in Hereford’s Cathedral Quarter is up for sale.
The Grade II* listed residence is on the market for £1.4 million.
Boasting over 5,000 square feet of character accommodation, with beautifully landscaped walled gardens and private parking, this impressive property is an integral part of Hereford’s cultural heritage.
The house, which is on historic Church Street, is near to Hereford Cathedral and was previously home to Dr George Robertson Sinclair, a celebrated Organist of the Cathedral until 1917.
The property was often visited by composer Sir Edward Elgar, and holds a blue plaque in remembrance of Sinclair.
Over the years, this residence has evolved into a distinct home, spread across multiple floors.
The ground floor comprises an entrance, a cloakroom, a kitchen/breakfast room, a dining hall, a drawing room, a living room, a study, a snug/downstairs bedroom, a utility room and WC, a rear hall, and a cellar.
The first floor includes a banqueting hall, a storage room, one ensuite bedroom with a balcony, a second ensuite bedroom, three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and an airing cupboard.
At the centre of this home is a medieval hall with exposed timber framing, exemplifying the property's long history.
To its exterior, the house boasts a third-acre of formal walled gardens.
The property enjoys box hedging that forms a parterre garden, lawns, mature trees and established planting, all enclosed by high brick walls, providing the house with privacy and a tranquil setting.
Among the property's notable features are the medieval dining hall, which serves as a central hub for the ground floor, and the first floor banqueting hall, featuring a vaulted timber roof and large fireplace.
