Property Description

Situation

Wellington village lies on the north side of the City of Hereford on the A49 road, seven miles from Hereford, and 8 miles from Leominster. Wellington has a population of circa 1005 people (2011 Census), therefore there are sufficient people to support a village shop and post office and the church of St Margaret and there are clubs and societies catering for different age groups. Within the Parish there are Wellington Lakes, Angling Club, and Wellington woods and public right of way and Queenswood, popular with dog walkers.

The Wellington Parish Council Neighbourhood development plan covers the period 2015-2031. The Local Plan was adopted in July 2016. Part of the village of Wellington is known to flood along the banks of the Wellington brook which runs through the village parallel to Stoney Street, the road that runs east to west. The subject property “Crossfield” is outside the flood zone, being on the northern edge of the village, and the site is raised above the village road, with the potential for far-reaching rural views. The property has a large garden of nearly half an acre (0.463)

description

A Grade II Listed cottage known as “Crossfield” is the last house in Bridge Lane on the left hand side about 1.8m above the lane. There are about 26 dwellings in Bridge Lane, in the Parish of Wellington, The subject property is thought to be of 18th Century origin with a sandstone base and timber frame with brick infill panels under a slate roof with a brick chimney stack. There are two 20th century south facing timber casement windows and on the north elevation are a pair of 20th century dormer windows providing far reaching rural views. There is a single storey 1960’s extension that envelops the end chimney stack and provides the original cottage with a hall, separate WC, bathroom, dining room, kitchen and pantry.

Development potential

The Local Plan includes an area of the garden in the Local Village Plan, which is a triangular piece of land immediately to the north of the cottage, which could form a new rear access or area of land for a two storey extension, as per the dwelling on the opposite side of the road. There is a long garden behind the house which is currently not within the village plan (Subject to Planning & Listed Building Consent).
