AN OLD pumping station is on the market in Herefordshire with a guide price of just £20,000.

Formerly owned by Welsh Water, the old water pumping station in Herefordshire's How Caple sits on around one third of an acre of land adjoining a small stream and has direct access to the B4224.

It is being sold by informal tender with agents Jackson Property, who said it could offer the potential for conversion, subject to planning consent.

The site is populated with pine, fir, and mixed coppice, Jackson Property said.

The pumping station, which was sold by Welsh Water to the current owners when they stopped pumping water at the facility in 2007, comprises a single-storey brick building with flat concrete roof surrounded by a chain-link fence.

All the pipework is not operational and it would be for the purchaser to remove the pipework from under the building. There are window openings on the east and west elevations and metal-framed windows to the stream side.
