Inside the six-bed Hereford home for sale right now on Zoopla

Boasting a modern open plan kitchen/breakfast room and driveway parking, agents Glasshouse Properties said on Zoopla that the house is "desirably" located by the Castle Pool and gardens at the heart of the city.

The semi-detached house, Swinfield, offers a substantial family home but retains much of the characterful period features of an elegant bygone age while not conceding on the demands of modern family life, agents said.

The creation of a lovely kitchen seamlessly transitioning into the breakfast room and out to the rear patio and private gardens offers a natural and magnetic hub for family life, they said of the house in Cantilupe Street.

The front door opens into an inner porch with etched glazing and stained glass detailing before leading into the main entrance hall retaining its iconic decorative floor tiles.

Off the hallway lies the downstairs toilet and the door descending to the cellar which could be converted, subject to planning permission.

Also on the ground floor are the drawing room and dining room, both with original marble fire places.

Glasshouse Properties said the snug offers a malleable and more informal space for relaxing, with wood flooring and cast iron fireplace.

The firm added: "Fully fitted in cream units smartly contrasted with granite-effect laminate counter tops, the kitchen provides an array of storage while the peninsular also provides breakfast bar. There is space for cooker, (dishwasher) as well as both washer and dryer.

"The kitchen benefits from a half-glazed external door set beside a wide triple window with blind.

"It also retains original fitted cupboards with middle drawer, now neatly concealing the boiler.

"While the walk-in pantry offers fitted shelves and copious storage for household necessities.

"The breakfast room provides ample space for a US-style fridge/freezer while enjoying natural light from both the roof Velux and a fully-glazed door opening into the private rear gardens."

The six double bedrooms can be found upstairs, perhaps the smallest might suit a home office, with the master bedroom boasting an ensuite.

There is also storage space and the family bathroom on the first floor, with the second floor home to a smaller bathroom, eaves storage and kitchenette.

Outside, the brick paviour driveway has parking for two vehicles with an additional visitor permit issued for on-street parking as well.

With side access, to the rear of the townhouse lies the paved patio offering an ideal and private spot for al fresco dining, agents said.

The patio is bordered by stone wall retaining beds before steps lead up to the rear gardens that are mainly laid to lawn and home to the summerhouse which discreetly conceals a practical shed behind.
