A FINE FREEHOLD BUILDING PLOT ENJOYING AN EXCELLENT SETTING ON ONE OF MALVERNS PREMIER CUL DE SACS CLOSE TO PEACHFIELD COMMON WITH VIEWS OVER THE SEVERN VALLEY AND OFFERED WITH OUTLINE PLANNING CONSENT FOR A DETACHED DWELLING.
FOR SALE BY PUBLIC AUCTION (UNLESS SOLD PREVIOUSLY BY PRIVATE TREATY) ON
THURSDAY 31ST JULY 2008 AT 6.00 P.M. AT THE FEATHERS HOTEL, LEDBURY
Location & Description:
This excellent building plot enjoys a convenient position only a mile south of Great Malvern where there is a full range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose and Somerfield supermarkets, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. Transport communications are well catered for. Junction 1 of the M50 motorway at Upton and Junction 7 of the M5 at Worcester are both less than ten miles away and there is a mainline railway station within Great Malvern itself.
King Edwards Road falls within the catchment area of some of the best education in the region including The Wyche and Wells Primary Schools, The Chase Secondary School as well as Malvern Boys and Malvern St James Girls Schools.
King Edwards Road is arguably regarded as one of Malvern's premier cul-de-sacs, enjoying a commanding position on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills and less than five minutes walk from Peachfield and Malvern Commons which link directly to the intricate network of paths and bridleways that criss-cross the Malvern Hills. Worcestershire Golf Club is less than five minutes away by car.
The site itself forms part of the garden of 27 King Edwards Road and is situated on a mature corner plot of approximately five hundred and fifty square meters. It has a lovely setting and any potential dwelling should command fine views across the Severn Valley towards Bredon Hill and the Cotswolds to the south and the east and to the Malvern Hills themselves in the west.
The ground is principally south facing and enjoys a lovely sunny aspect. The present owners have already gone to the trouble of partially clearing the ground and erecting attractive 'Forest Europa Vienna' fence panels with a trellis section which not only defines the plot but also provides an attractive backdrop and allows an open aspect. Due to its topography and levels the site lends itself well to an eco designed house, particularly with water conservation in mind and an innovative architect could make excellent use of the contours of the ground to plan a two storey house enjoying the views across the Severn Valley, notably at first floor level.
Within the site there is a particularly fine cedar tree (with a preservation order). This provides a lovely backdrop and will offer a striking landmark for the completed house.
Planning Consent:
Outline Planning Consent was granted on 8th January 2008 by Malvern Hills District Council for the construction of a single dwelling (application no. 07/01497/OUT). A copy of this planning approval together with supporting documentation is available at the selling agents Malvern office.
The Plot:
The plot is part of the garden of 27 King Edwards Road. It is situated on a corner site and has an approximate overall area of 550 square metres. It is anticipated that the footprint of the completed unit could be approximately 72 square metres and that a building height of approximately 7 metres could allow a two storey dwelling to be constructed. The site has a maximum width of approximately 37 metres and an average depth of approximately 15 metres. It has an overall frontage on to the highway of almost 50 metres.
Services:
All mains services are available to or in close proximity of the site.
Landscaping:
The vendors have divided the site with attractive Forest Europa Vienna fence panels. These were chosen because they are good quality attractive panels with a trellis section to give an open aspect.
The fence is set back from the retaining wall to give space for planting to further soften the fencing. The vendors have already begun some planting in this space.
The retaining wall is a Bordeaux wall manufactured by Forticrete. It is of dry stone block construction. This was chosen as it does not require a concrete foundation and has a finish that is compatible with natural Malvern stone.
The Atlantica Cedar in the north west corner of the site has, on the first of July, had the crown diagonal leaders reduced. This was done to give the tree a better balanced appearance and to enable the tree to fill out the open spaces in the middle of the tree.
Tenure:
It is understood that the property will be sold with full freehold tenure.
Viewing:
By site inspection. However as a courtesy it is preferred if potential viewers to the site could contact the selling agents Malvern office prior to any visit in order to register their interest, especially as the plot forms part of the garden of an existing occupied dwelling.
Directions:
From the selling agents offices in Great Malvern proceed south along the A449 Wells Road towards Ledbury. Leave Great Malvern, passing across Peachfield Common which is on either side of the road. At the far end of the common, opposite the Railway Inn (which is on the right hand side) turn very sharp left downhill into Peachfield Road. Follow this route for a short distance taking the first right hand turn across a cattle grid into King Edwards Road. Continue along the road for a few hundred yards where number 27 will be seen on the left hand side as the road turns sharply to the left.
Public Auction:
The plot is scheduled for sale by public auction on Thursday 31st July 2008 at The Feathers Hotel, Ledbury (unless sold previously by private treaty) at 6.00 p.m.
