Description
4 Peachfield Road is a significant and impressive detached two storey house which is believed to have been constructed in 1900 at the very end of the Victorian era. It retains many of it original period features. It does require some general updating and refurbishment but offers enormous scope for any potential buyer to transform its generous accommodation into a fine contemporary home. From its elevated position most of the principal rooms enjoy views across the Severn Valley or towards the Malvern Hills.
At ground level, a large glazed entrance porch opens into a spacious hall, off which there is an open plan area that can double as an office or study. The hall leads to both main reception rooms including a large drawing room and dining room, off which there is also a kitchen and utility/laundry room. An inner hall leads to a shower room and cloakroom with WC and also to an external porch into the garden. A door from this spot also leads to the basement where there are two large cellars.
The original and elegant Victorian staircase leads from the main hall to the first floor where there are five good size bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. The accommodation has gas fired central heating. There is potential to extend the accommodation into the roof spaces.
A wide driveway provides off road parking for at least two vehicles and leads to the double garage, below which there is a useful workshop and a storeroom. The mature garden consists of a series of sloping pathways flanked by lawns, shrubs and trees that lead to the main terraced garden at the rear of the house. This is laid out to make the most of the view across the Severn Valley and towards the Malvern Hills. It is very private.
