With striking modern elevations boasting extensive glazing warmed by the golden hues of larch cladding, this lovely light-filled family home with underfloor heating throughout was created in 2015 by local jdw Building and Conservation. The property’s sleek minimal lines are accentuated by the sweep of the downstairs’ open plan living. Or perhaps more precisely ‘broken plan’ living, having a statement double-sided wood burner fireplace defining the elegant Sitting Room from the open Dining Room and Kitchen beyond. The house also offers exciting potential with the integral Garage originally constructed with an ease of conversion in mind, allowing for Home Office/Family Room or perhaps Downstairs Double Bedroom as desired; all subject to relevant planning permissions.
Quietly tucked away from the road in Aylestone Gate, the property enjoys an excellent location on popular Aylestone Hill where the city’s edge yields to open farmland. A short stroll past Legges - delicatessen, butcher and sandwich shop offering a wide range of local produce and own farmed meat, lies the open 47 acres of Aylestone Park; ideal for dog walking. Under a mile away are the Hereford Sixth Form, Art and Technology Colleges and Nuffield Hospital while a quarter mile further are the County Hospital and railway station. Benefitting from immediate access to the Worcester road means the M5 is only 27 miles.
