Situation And Description - The prominent ‘Fryers Gate’ building sits on the site of ‘Greyfriars’ which lies just outside the original city walls. The land was occupied by a Franciscan Friary, founded by Sir William Pembrugge, from about 1228 to 1538. After the Dissolution it appears that the Friary church was demolished and by 1610 the map showed the area as ‘Whit Friers’. A 1645 map showed ‘Friars Gate’ and by 1757 Taylor’s map shows the area as the ‘Scite of Black Fryers’. A number of important persons were buried at the Friary Church, including Owen Tudor, beheaded in Hereford after the battle of Mortimer’s Cross in 1461, and Sir Richard Pembridge, who died in 1375!
In recent years the site was occupied by the renowned Greyfriars Restaurant, later renamed the Campions Restaurant, until its closure in the mid 90’s and subsequent demolition in 2013.
Local builders Riverside Construction created a superb gated development with CCTV entry system (key pad and fob entry system at the main gate allowing vehicular and pedestrian access), in a prime city location within a conservation area and enjoying lovely views over the River Wye and beyond. The building raised up on stilts, otherwise known as platform construction, has five floors and contains 18 apartments, 16 of which are 2 bedrooms; there is one 1 bedroom apartment and this, the only 3 bedroom apartment and largest in the building, occupies the rear section of the forth floor and has a full width south facing balcony sun terrace with bi fold doors from the sitting room and master suite.
There is a door and security gate at second floor level leading onto the river bridge for emergency use by residents only during times of flooding. An early warning system is also in place to alert residents if the gardens and car park are likely to be at risk of flooding.
The property itself has under floor electric heating with individual room thermostats and was constructed in 2016. It also has a significantly upgraded, developer fitted, specification throughout.
The spacious entrance hall gives access to the thoughtfully laid out accommodation with a superbly fitted kitchen with obscured glass doors dividing the kitchen from the large sitting room and dining area, with bi fold doors opening to the large roof terrace – the whole area can be opened up to create a perfect space for entertaining.
The three double bedrooms all have quality Hammond fitted wardrobes, the master with a spacious ensuite and a further family/guest bathroom. In more details the property comprises
Main Entrance Hall - With lift and stairs. CCTV entrance and key pad. Doors off to pathway to car parking area and the under croft of the building providing for bicycle storage. Access to meter room.
