House For Sale £760,000
This excellent mid-century, four-bedroom house is set within expansive private gardens and occupies an elevated position on May Hill, at the southern edge of the Malvern Hills in Gloucestershire. The house was originally built in 1968 and internal living space of over 2,505 sqft spans two storeys, with a large terrace looking out across surrounding open countryside and woodland. There is also a heated outdoor swimming and a series of outbuildings which offer further scope for development.
The Tour
Located on a quiet country lane, the house is set back via a generous driveway with off-street parking for several vehicles. The primary entrance is positioned at the side of the house in a low, private position. A double-height entrance hall provides an impressive introduction to the ground floor level, with soaring ceiling heights following the dramatic pitch of the roofline. Painted white brick walls are paired with timber-clad ceilings and the original open-tread timber staircase which folds through the central plan.
The main living spaces are arranged across the first-floor level to optimise the exceptional far reaching views. The living room has large expanses of glazing inviting an excellent quality of natural light and framing verdant views, with a log burner set into a brick hearth creating a welcoming, Scandinavian-inspired space in winter months. A beautifully proportioned dining room is adjoined, with corner windows and access to the large open terrace; a wonderful position for dining outside. A modern kitchen and large utility space are also located on this level.
Four bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor, each with a good provision of storage and in-built cabinetry. One of the bedrooms has an additional mezzanine area overhead and is currently set out as a home workspace or studio.
Outside Space
A large paved terrace leads directly from the ground floor rooms, creating an easy flow and visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces. The gardens are primarily laid to lawn, with mature trees and hedging providing privacy and marking the boundary. The heated swimming pool sits to one side of the gardens, surrounded by a number of pool rooms and outbuildings. The former garage is a double-height space with scope for further development.
The Area
May Hill lies in a desirable semi-rural location ten miles to the west of the City of Gloucester and provides excellent access to the expansive walking and cycling routes through the Malvern Hills, the surrounding Herefordshire apple orchard countryside and beyond to the Welsh mountains on its border. A notable local landmark at the foothills of the Malverns is Eastnor Castle, a 19th Century revival castle surrounded by a deer park, arboretum, and a lake. The popular towns of Ross on Wye and Ledbury are also within easy reach and offer a good selection of independent restaurants, cafes and shops.
For a broader selection, Gloucester is approximately 20 minutes by car and provides direct rail links to London Paddington in around one hour and 45 minutes.
