The Property
Entrance Hall – The Penthouse benefits from practical and secure dual access, with a key control lift and at the base of a flight of carpeted stairs the Front door with biometric keypad, leading to the building’s original wide service staircase. With practical wood-effect vinyl flooring, the Hallway is naturally lit by the large roof lantern, originally installed to funnel light down to the operating theatres. The hall also includes 2 Gree air conditioners that provide heat in the coolers months, and cooling in the summer.
Sitting & Dining Room – The spacious carpeted room delights in a Diocletian window, the semi-circular classic of Georgian design framing enchanting views over the front drive circle to the river beyond, bordered by its majestic copper beech walk and across Hereford's ancient heart from the Cathedral and Bishop's Palace to the Old Wye and Victoria Bridges. The inviting room with exposed timber beams readily defines itself into living and dining areas to either side of the window and with a highly malleable space between. The Dining Room has ample space for a large dining table to gather family and friends, with a timber beam above discreetly concealing spotlighting. To the far end a beam-framed alcove offers an ideal location for dresser or sideboard. To the Sitting Room the characterful pitched roof makes cosy the ample space for rest and relaxation. The central area with twin wooden bladed ceiling fans with integral lighting offers space for conversational seating or a dedicated reading nook.
Kitchen – The new fully fitted Kitchen was installed in 2022 in palest green soft close units with virtually indestructible, premium Dekton countertops; highly resistant to stains, heat and scratches. The array of storage includes deep pan drawers and a corner carousel unit. Integrated are twin under-counter fridges and a freezer while there is space for a large electric range cooker with black hood above. With a flexible hose mixer tap, underslung are twin stainless-steel Innova sinks incorporating an InSinkErator waste disposal unit. Opposite the Kitchen with its raised end bar to discreetly conceal any cooking detritus, lies a carpeted nook providing ample space for sociable seating or a bookcased study area.
Utility Room – Across the hall lies the Utility with sensor lighting and fitted to match the Kitchen. Beside the Innova stainless steel sink also with an InSinkErator waste disposal and hose tap, there is under-counter space for dishwasher, washing machine and dryer.
Bedroom 1 – The main bedroom is an expansive carpeted Double, enjoying a triple aspect. The room is visually defined by twin floor-to-ceiling truss timber beams flanking the central space. To one side is the bedroom space with a discrete Gree heating and air conditioning unit, fireplace recess arched in red brick, under-eaves storage and window framing the cityscape. The central area offers window framing country views to Dinmore Hill and offers an ideal position for a dressing table while to the right side lies a dedicated Dressing Room area. Only installed last year and illuminated by sensor plinth lighting, the two side walls are custom fitted with an array of storage, including wardrobes and cupboards, all with premium Blum soft closing mechanisms, while the end wall is fitted with drawers set beneath a window overlooking the river.
Bedroom 2 – The second double bedroom is also a spacious and carpeted bedroom with exposed beams, pitched roof and brick arch fireplace recess. There is a very large built-in carpeted double cupboard providing ample storage and also a walk-in storage room/wardrobe. The Ensuite provides shower cubicle, WC and pedestal basin while the large cupboard is home to the Pulsacoil thermal store hot water system with Wi-Fi controls.
Bedroom 3 – The carpeted Double Bedroom delights in exposed beams to its walls and pitched roof ceiling and enjoys a window with views across the City.
Bedroom 4 – The last of the bedrooms is a carpeted Double and offers, as it is currently utilised, an ideal Home Office.
Shower Room – Completely refurbished only last year the stunning Shower Room provides a spacious Mira walk-in shower offering both regular and Rainhead showers, with tiled recess shelf and glass screen. The suite also provides WC and black double cupboard storage unit with a table top basin. Above the basin is fitted with a custom Artforma LED bordered mirror with integrated Apple TV, screen, Bluetooth speak and Sonos soundbar above. To the wall is the Herschel heater - a state-of-the-art infrared heater with mirror front and Wi-Fi controls.

The block paviour main driveway leads past 2 designated parking bays on the right before proceeding to the front of the property, with its turning circle punctuated by the swan sculpture of renowned local artist Walenty Pytel.
Beyond spread, the lawns of the private communal gardens peppered with benches and tumbling down to the river frontage, where residents host garden parties and occasional barbecues over the summer months. The property boasts bike storage, while also available is a shed for additional storage.
