Location
The property enjoys a convenient location on the north western outskirts of Malvern, just over a mile from the town centre, where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. Transport communications are excellent. Junction 7 of the M5 and Junction 1 of the M50 motorways at Worcester and Upton are both within easy commuting distance and there are two mainline railway stations in Malvern Link and Great Malvern itself. Educational needs are second to none in both the state and private systems at primary and secondary levels and are all within easy reach.
For those who enjoy outdoor life or walking, the property is close to open countryside and to the network of paths and bridleways that criss-cross the Malvern Hills. Standing in an elevated spot there are wonderful views across the rooftops of the town towards Worcester and the Severn Valley in the east and of the Malvern Hills themselves to the west.
Description
Originally constructed in the mid 1920's, 24 St Peters Road is very much a house of its age. It does require some updating and refurbishment and also offers enormous scope for reshaping or even extending. It has a generous floor area, particularly on the ground floor where there are three reception rooms and a bedroom. The main bedroom on the first floor could easily be sub-divided into two separate rooms or to create an en-suite shower/bathroom and dressing room. The house is offered with a contemporary gas fired central heating system and from most parts of the property there are fine views to the rear over the Severn Valley and to the front of the Malvern Hills.
On the ground floor the current accommodation includes a small porch and entrance hall, a cloakroom with WC, bathroom, a very large open plan lounge and dining room (separated by a two way fireplace), an inner hall, a sitting room, bedroom and kitchen with a small utility area. On the first floor a landing leads to a small attic room and a separate attic storge area as well as to two bedrooms, the largest of which (referred to earlier) also has access to an attic room and storage area.
Perhaps the greatest strength of the property is to be found outside where a long and wide driveway provides extensive off road parking for several vehicles and potential to accommodate a double garage. The large mature garden makes the most of its setting with a recently re-laid terrace enjoying fine views to the rear across the Severn Valley and to the front towards the Malvern Hills. Potential buyers should note that the house was reroofed in 2016.
