Location & Description:
6 Park Road enjoys an excellent position in the highly regarded village of West Malvern almost equidistant from the centre of Great Malvern and from the neighbouring village of Colwall. In Great Malvern there is an excellent range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose and Somerfield supermarkets and the renowned theatre and cinema complex. The property is also handily placed for access to transport networks including mainline railway stations at both Malvern Link and Colwall, each no more than two miles away. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is about nine miles away. The Malverns are well known for a high standard of education and the property is within immediate striking distance of some of the best schools in the country in both the state and private systems.
For those who enjoy the outdoor life, 6 Park Road is in the perfect spot. Situated as it is on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills, it has immediate access to the network of paths and bridleways that criss-cross the landscape and is only a short walk from the rolling countryside of Herefordshire.
Originally built in the 1960's, the property comprises a split level detached house of brick construction with Swiss boarded rendering. The accommodation could so with some general updating but it is nonetheless a comfortable home. The heating system is a mixture of the original gas fired warm air system supplemented by night storage radiators. Windows are a mixture of recently replaced double glazing and the original metal framed units.
The split level design means that the main living quarters are on the upper ground floor level. This includes a double glazed entrance porch, reception hall, kitchen, an open plan lounge/dining room, a garden room and a study which doubles as a fourth bedroom. Stairs lead down to lower ground floor level. Here there are three bedrooms, an understairs cloakroom with WC and the bathroom. Also from this level there is access, via a covered external terrace, to a large utility room.
Externally, a short driveway provides parking for at least one vehicle and leads to the integral garage. There is a small, fairly steeply sloping garden in front of the house which requires very limited maintenance. The rear garden has been more carefully landscaped to accommodate its sloping contours but it has been imaginatively laid out to keep maintenance to a minimum and to lend it privacy. It is west facing and therefore enjoys the late morning and afternoon sunshine.
Undoubtedly, the main strength of 6 Park Road comes from its commanding position high on the western slopes of hills. This allows the house to enjoy a truly stunning outlook across the woodland landscape of West Malvern and the rolling countryside of Herefordshire to the Welsh hills in the far distance. It really is a sight to behold especially as the sun sets in the west. Though the property does require some improvement this view makes the investment worthwhile.
