Location & Description:
17 Victoria Road enjoys a convenient position only five minutes' walk from the centre of Great Malvern and therefore within immediate striking distance of a fine range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose and Somerfield supermarkets, the renowned theatre and cinema complex, the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium and Manor Park Tennis and Sports Centre.
The property is situated in arguably Malverns premier residential area and from its slightly elevated position it enjoys views across Victoria Road and the rooftops of Great Malvern towards the Severn Valley in the east and towards the Malvern Hills in the west. It is a lovely spot.
Originally designed and built in the 1950s by its only occupant and owner, the property comprises a highly individual detached two storey house. It has an extremely generous floor area. Over its fifty years of history very little has changed and few improvements or alterations have taken place, apart from the addition of further accommodation to the first floor in the 1970s. The external fabric of the property has always been immaculately maintained. In effect therefore it is something of a "time capsule" which now offers enormous scope and potential for extension and refurbishment into a very fine family home. It should therefore be a really interesting project for any potential buyer.
On the ground floor a good size reception hall leads to a cloakroom with WC, a large L shaped lounge/dining room, a kitchen, study with small workshop, three bedrooms and a bathroom. On the first floor a landing leads to three additional bedrooms and another bathroom. Also at this level there is direct access into a large attic room which offers clear scope for integration into the main accommodation and ideally will provide the perfect master bedroom suite. The house has gas fired warm air central heating.
Outside, a driveway providing parking for at least three vehicles leads to a detached garage. The gardens are generous and mainly laid to lawn. They make the most of the lovely setting. Within the grounds there is also a summer house.
