Description

The Old Pump House is a unique and unusual detached property located in a central position within the town, yet commanding open views over green space and towards the Malvern Hills in the distance adding to the appeal. The building was originally built to house two steam engines and operated as Upton's main pump house until around 1970.

This attractive, brick built Victorian home has benefited from extensive and thoughtful refurbishment over recent years to offer modern, light & open plan living with a spacious living/dining area, a modern and well fitted bespoke kitchen, a downstairs WC and rear hallway with storage. On the first floor there are two En-suite double bedrooms. Further benefits include cellar storage, UPVC double glazing, gas central heating and ample parking. The mature landscaped garden offers a lawned area and patio seating area to dine "Al Fresco" with family and friends and take in the evening sun setting over the Malvern Hills.
