Location & Description:
7 Christchurch Road enjoys a convenient position only quarter of a mile from the centre of the cultural and historic town 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. More locally, less than five minutes away on foot, is the bustling centre of Barnards Green. Great Malvern railway station is ONLY about three minutes walk away. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is about nine miles distant and Junction 1 of the M50 at Upton is about eleven miles.
The property is situated in arguably one of the prime streets of Great Malvern and only yards away from the main buildings of Malvern St James Girls School. Malvern Boys College is also about half a mile distant.
The property itself is a most impressive and striking semi detached Edwardian House. Because the property is believed to have changed hands only four times in its long history, it has managed to retain nearly all of its original features and Edwardian heritage in a way that most of its comtempories have not. These include sash windows and fire places, impressive cornicing to ceilings, skirtings and architraves, the original servants bell system which is in full working order and timber floors. These historic qualities blend well with many more contemporary features as over the years the house has been the subject of refurbishment and renovation. Indeed at the time this brochure is going to print the roof is undergoing an overhaul and external redecoration is very nearly completed. The house also has gas fired central heating.
The accommodation is extremely flexible. It is laid out on three floors, the basement level of which could be (subject to conversion) almost self contained, thus making it ideal for two family use.
Outside the perfect finishing touch is provided by a much larger than average and beautifully landscaped garden. This is ideal for families with kids or for the keen gardener. There is also excellent off road parking and a garage. From the upper floors there are fine views of the Malvern Hills in the west and across the Severn Valley to the east.
