The subject property is located in a primarily residential area close to Hereford city centre.
Specifically the property is circa 1 mile due north of the main city with access directly off Venns Lane, which itself immediately adjoins the busy A465 (main road from Hereford city to Worcester).
As referenced, in the immediate vicinity there are a number of residential dwellings, however it does sit immediately next door to the Nuffield Health care facility, with another commercial premises situated opposite being Churchill House and the open space known as Churchill Gardens.
The site overall comprises a large plot extending to circa 2 acres with multiple structures, the most prominent of which is Elmhurst itself, which is a grade II listed, former residential premises currently with planning consent for use as a retirement home, dating back to the 18th Century.
The main premises itself is set over 3 floors, being ground, first and basement; within those there are a number of period features still present, as well as an attractive semi-wraparound porch externally.
There are large windows at both ground and first floor level allowing for an abundance of natural light, with French doors present at ground floor level opening up to the east.
At the rear of the main building is a 2-storey red- brick extension believed to date from the 1980s.
This section appears designed around retirement use given the amount of individual bedrooms at first floor level.
There are internal links back to the main building at both ground and first floor level.
The entire property is in poor condition throughout, with water damage clear to see as well as unstable floors, broken windows and a collapsed ceiling.
On the northern side of the site are a former Coach House, a linked detached storage area and a double garage. The Coach House is an attractive property, with the original stable block still present at ground floor level and a staircase leading to what was most recently a first floor flat.
The flat at this point is not habitable, with a number of broken windows, unstable floors and a collapsed ceiling in one room.
The link attached external storage building currently houses a generator while the double garage immediately next door is used for storage.
