Occupying an enviable position overlooking the historic Castle Green and set within one of Hereford’s most prestigious addresses, The Fosse is a striking Grade II listed period residence of exceptional architectural merit.

Dating back to 1825 and attributed to the renowned architect Sir Robert Smirke, famous for his designs including The British Museum, the property displays an elegant stucco façade with classical detailing including parapets, balustrading and refined mouldings—hallmarks of its architectural heritage.

Arranged over four levels, the property offers extensive and versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family living while retaining a wealth of original character, such as sash and casement octagonal windows designed to take in the views and sun at every time of day, ornate cornicing, marble fireplaces, and original architectural detailing further enhance the sense of refinement throughout.

The ground floor comprises two beautifully proportioned reception rooms, both benefiting from an east-facing aspect and an abundance of natural morning light. To the rear, a superb kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home, featuring impressive flagstone flooring, south facing window and ample space for entertaining. A practical utility room with WC and an excellent range of storage cupboards completes the ground floor accommodation.

French doors open onto a beautifully private, enclosed walled garden. Enjoying a desirable west-facing aspect, the garden acts as a wonderful evening suntrap, perfect for al fresco dining and relaxation. Laid mainly to lawn with a patio seating area, it also benefits from charming views towards Hereford Cathedral,

The first floor provides an elegant drawing room of impressive proportions, alongside a stunning Victorian conservatory which enjoys far-reaching views across Castle Green and towards Hereford Cathedral. This exceptional space creates a true “wow factor” within the home, perfectly blending period charm with a remarkable outlook.

The upper floors provide six generously sized double bedrooms, two of which benefit from ensuite shower rooms. There is a further shower room, along with an impressive family bathroom featuring a distinctive wooden “throne” style toilet seat, adding a unique touch of character.

Further accommodation includes a cellar extending beneath the majority of the property, incorporating a dedicated wine storage area.

Externally, the property benefits from a private driveway and garage. A ladder from the garage provides access to a partially converted upper room, offering a versatile space ideal as a teenager’s den, studio or hobby room. Additional visitor parking is available, please ask for more details.

The Fosse represents a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark home of historical significance in a prime central location, combining period elegance, generous accommodation and a highly desirable setting within walking distance of Hereford city centre.
