A Delightful Period Grade II Listed Detached House Enjoying A Lovely Location On The Outskirts Of Malvern, Overlooking Open Countryside And Common Land. Versatile Accommodation With Many Original Features And Lovely South Facing, Landscaped Garden. Energy Rating 'D'.
Location & Description
Located on the outskirts of Barnards Green and Guarlford Common. The shopping precinct in Barnards Green offers a range of independent shops, Co-op supermarket, take aways, eateries and community facilities. Further and more extensive amenities are available in the Victorian hillside town of Great Malvern with a Waitrose supermarket and also at the retail park in Townsend Way having a number of high street names including Boots, Marks & Spencer, Morrisons and Next to name but a few.
Transport communications are excellent with a mainline railway station in Great Malvern providing direct links to Worcester, Birmingham, London, Hereford and South Wales. A regular bus service runs through Barnards Green connecting the neighbouring areas. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is just outside Worcester and brings the Midlands, South West and South Wales into an easy commute.
The area is well known for its excellent schools at both primary and secondary levels in the state and private sectors.
Bluebell Hall is believed to date back as far as the 16th century although it was converted in the 17th century to create a charming double bay house which was extended in the 1920's by the provision of a timber framed pavilion. The property carries a Grade II Listing and has been the subject of an imaginative and sympathetic programme of renovation in 2003 with the developer giving thoughtful consideration to the refurbishment of the accommodation both inside and out.
The refurbishment has revived many of the historic features on offer in the property including the original brick, flagstone and oak boarded floors as well as exposed timbers with limewash walls and oak joinery throughout. It is worth noting that the refurbishment was honoured with an award from the Civic Society for their outstanding achievement in returning Bluebell Hall to its former glory. Numerous features are worthy of special note and indeed to many to mention in these particulars but it should be suffice to say that the accommodation manages to combine the original charm and history of this period house with the conveniences of a more modern style of living.
The qualities of Bluebell Hall are more than enhanced by it setting in beautifully landscaped grounds which provide the perfect environment and backdrop.
The property is initially approached via a shared driveway over common land where a private driveway to Bluebell Hall is accessed through brick built pillars onto a gravel driveway that opens to allow for ample parking. The property is set back behind a lawned foregarden with mature shrub and rose beds with further planted borders flanking the sides of the driveway. The foregarden is enclosed by a Malvern Stone wall and fenced perimeter with wooden wood store.
Internally the accommodation is versatile and set over two floors and displays wonderful characteristics. It benefits from gas central heating and is in excess of ??? sq. ft.
