Location & Description:
18 Hornyold Avenue enjoys a very convenient location less than a mile from the historic and cultural centre of Great Malvern where there is a fine range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose and Somerfield supermarkets, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. There are more local amenities less than five minutes away on foot in Newtown Road and the bustling centre of Malvern Link is only about half a mile away.
Transport and educational facilities are particularly well catered for. There is a mainline railway station only about ten minutes way on foot and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is about seven miles away. The property also falls within the catchment area of some excellent local schools and is only a short walk from Malvern Link common.
The property itself is a traditional two storey semi detached Victorian house which has been the subject of major refurbishment and improvement by the present owners in recent years. The result is a beautifully presented and very much larger than expected home, large enough for a growing family but versatile enough to suit the busy working couple, the active retired or those working from home.
Many original features have been retained including fireplaces, stripped timber floors, attractive joinery and sash windows. These features combine well with more contemporary improvements including an excellent and well equipped kitchen, a newly fitted bathroom, shower room and cloakroom as well as gas fired central heating.
On the ground floor a porch opens into a long reception hall, off which there is a cloakroom, a lovely south facing sitting room (with fireplace), separate dining room and the particularly impressive kitchen and breakfast room which are fully equipped. On the first floor a long landing leads to four bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room and there is also a separate family bathroom. Access to the roof space reveals two small boarded areas with windows. These offer further potential for expansion.
From strategic parts of the house there are views across the Severn Valley to the east and to the south across Hornyold Avenue itself towards the Malvern Hills.
The well established and mature garden provides the finishing touch. It is designed with low maintenance in mind, particularly at the rear, where there is almost complete privacy. There is also a small workshop/bike store.
