It sits in Hereford, close to Cathedral Green where Elgar is honoured with a bronze statue.
Set back from the road, the property boasts a third of an acre of private walled gardens.
Estate agents say the home still retains a wealth of original features, including sash windows, refined plasterwork and elm floorboards.
The property lies within a conservation area and offers a mix of historic charm and modern comfort, as reported by Luxury Property News.
Inside, the ground floor includes a light-filled dining room, a music room once used as a housekeeper’s room, a living room, a kitchen and access to a cellar with wine storage.
Describing the first floor, agents said: “The first floor is reached by the original cantilevered staircase, where generous proportions and tall eight-over-eight sash windows fill the interiors with natural light.
“Here a particularly elegant drawing room centres around an open fireplace, accompanied by two bedrooms and a bathroom.
“The upper floor provides three further bedrooms and an additional bathroom, offering flexible accommodation for family and guests.”
The agents added that the gardens are a standout feature of the home, complete with a productive kitchen garden, espaliered apple, pear and plum trees, raised beds and a greenhouse.
They said: “A gravel driveway provides generous parking and turning space, with a garage positioned beside the kitchen garden.
“At the front of the house, a beautiful iron-detailed veranda overlooks an expansive lawn and offers a charming setting for outdoor dining.
“A large magnolia tree, established planting and pathways wrap around the lawn, while to the rear a quieter garden with winding path completes this enchanting plot.”
The property is on the market with Glasshouse Properties with a guide price of £875,000.
