A light-filled and unusually spacious 1,565 sq ft apartment with soaring ceilings, period charm, and an airy open feel – all set within an iconic Victorian building just minutes from Hereford city centre
Set within the distinctive Victorian architecture of the former Victoria Eye Hospital constructed in 1889, this striking first-floor apartment combines period grandeur with modern practicality. The eye hospital was closed in 2001 and the site of around an acre in all was developed into beautiful homes with a communal seating area. Located just a few minutes’ walk from Hereford city centre, the property offers remarkable convenience for shops, restaurants, theatre, cinema, supermarkets (Aldi and Sainsbury’s), and travel links – including regular bus routes and Hereford train station (15–20 minutes on foot).
Converted with care to preserve its historic charm, Victoria Court remains one of Hereford’s most recognisable buildings. This generous apartment occupies part of the original hospital and features soaring ceilings, sash-style windows, and well-maintained communal areas. The city’s green spaces, the Courtyard Theatre, and the River Wye are all within easy reach, making this an ideal base for those wanting a vibrant and walkable lifestyle with a sense of history.
Accessed via a secure entry system with intercom and camera, this first floor apartment opens into an elegant reception hall leading through to an inner hallway with a large cloaks cupboard. Unusually for an apartment, it also benefits from a separate utility room, and a boarded loft storage accessed from the inner hallway.
The spacious drawing room has a vaulted ceiling and full-height windows, while the large kitchen/dining room is fitted with bespoke units, granite worktops, and a breakfast bar, ideal for entertaining.
There are three bedrooms, with the third currently arranged as a study (with boiler cupboard). The main bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with a jacuzzi-style bath, while a separate shower room serves the rest of the apartment. High-quality finishes include gas underfloor heating, reconstituted stone tiles, and a room-to-room speaker system.
Outside, there is one allocated parking space, additional visitor parking, and a landscaped communal seating area.
Services: Mains water, drainage, gas and electricity. Gas-fired underfloor heating.
