EPC "D"
Location
Mulberry House enjoys a convenient position less than three miles south of the cultural and historic spa town of Great Malvern where there is a fine range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. The property is handily placed for access to the M5/M50 motorways either at Upton (approximately seven miles) or at Ledbury (ten miles). There are mainline railways stations at Malvern, Ledbury and the nearby village of Colwall. There is an excellent choice of local education in both the private and state sectors including Malvern St James School for Girls, Malvern College and The Chase High School.
From its commanding position on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills, Mulberry House has a wonderful outlook across adjacent open countryside towards the Severn Valley in the far distance. The house itself enjoys a mature setting in imaginatively laid out garden and grounds. A particular feature of this setting are the many impressive trees and shrubs, many of which were probably planted over 100 years ago. From this convenient position there is nearby access not only into open countryside but also on to the network of paths that criss-cross the Malvern Hills themselves.
