Situated in a slightly elevated position on the edge of the beautiful village
of Bodenham with its church in sight and opposite the Nature Reserve and
Lakes, a two bed end of terrace of just four houses, full of character and
light - once the Alms Houses of Bodenham. An elegantly restored, upgraded and
extended property.
**Situation And Description**
Bodenham is situated just off the A49 and A417, midway between Hereford and
Leominster (approx. 7 & 8 miles respectively), hence is very accessible to a
number of regional centres and the wider road and rail network, motorway
access available at Worcester and Ledbury.
Bodenham was described in the 1851, ec Lascelles Directory of Hereford as,
“Bodenham, a pretty village, situated about eight miles N. From Hereford, it
contains several good houses, and has a very romantic and pleasant
appearance. ” Bodenham Cottages, the former village Alms houses, are situated
just on the outskirts of Old Bodenham village, an area of the village still
retaining its past charm, and enjoying lovely rural views back towards the
village church and beyond. The village of Bodenham offers a good range of
amenities including shop and post office, schooling, village pub and
restaurant, petrol station, doctors surgery, golf course and café. Situated
close by is the Bodenham Lakes Nature Reserve with lovely lake side walks and
picnic areas.
The property itself has been sympathetically upgraded over the years to
include part double glazing (as well as some original sash windows), and
central heating, while retaining many character features. More recently, the
