Two bed Ground Floor Apartment
Ideal first-time buyer/property investment
Beautifully presented throughout
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a unique ground floor apartment, beautifully positioned in a peaceful rural setting just south of Hereford. This charming and characterful home has been thoughtfully modernised, while carefully preserving the distinctive features of the original workhouse for Dore Abbey. Surrounded by open countryside and with the highly sought-after village of Ewyas Harold just a short distance away, the property offers the perfect blend of tranquillity and convenience. A truly special home that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.
Location
Riverdale House forms part of an exclusive, small development comprising a mix of private houses and apartments. While the postal address is listed as Abbeydore, the property is actually situated in the charming rural hamlet of Bacton, just a few miles away and approximately 11 miles southwest of Hereford. The well-regarded village of Ewyas Harold lies around 4 miles from the property and offers a range of everyday amenities, including two butchers, a church, village shop, village hall, primary school, and doctor’s surgery. The surrounding area is rich in attractive destinations, with Hay-on-Wye, Abergavenny, and Ross-on-Wye all within easy reach.

Living Room
A generously proportioned living room offering ample space to accommodate large furniture, ideal for both relaxing and entertaining. Two windows, positioned on either side of the feature wood burner, allow for an abundance of natural light while elegantly framing this charming focal point. The layout lends itself to a variety of seating arrangements, with plenty of wall space for additional furnishings or décor. Warm and inviting, the room combines comfort with character, making it a perfect setting for cosy evenings or social gatherings.
