Homes in Leominster
Leominster is a market town known for its black-and-white timber-framed buildings and its Priory church. Its centre has some of the finest timber-framed buildings in the county, many listed, and the town is a conservation area. Victorian and Edwardian homes surround the centre. Some buildings have Georgian brick fronts hiding older timber frames.
Post-war and newer housing has been added on the town's edges. The Rivers Lugg, Arrow and Kenwater meet near the town and flood regularly. Leominster is popular with buyers seeking value in a historic town, and many antique shops line its streets. Timber-frame condition and flood risk are the main survey considerations. Kingsland and other villages nearby have black-and-white cottages. Expect older homes to need specialist repairs to timber frames, roofs and infill panels.
Areas we cover include Ridgemoor, Barons Cross, Eaton Bishop, Kingsland.
