West Malvern Road, Colwall, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14

You are in for a treat! Ryvoan is much bigger than it looks and one of only two distinctive properties in this handsome Victorian building. Majestically set over the top floors with 3 double bedrooms, 2 reception rooms, new kitchen, grand proportions, tall ceilings, plenty of windows (double glazed), quiet, with stunning views across rolling Herefordshire countryside.

Some homes I can't wait to get into and this was another that had me at hello. Arranged as a duplex apartment, although it feels more like a house, providing impressive, warm, light and very comfortable living accommodation.

The raised ground floor is versatile comprising a glorious sitting room, large dining room to entertain friends and family, study/guest bedroom, handy cloakroom and an elegant new Magnet kitchen complete with a walk-in larder, dual fuel range cooker, fridge, freezer, integrated dishwasher, washer dryer, island and a surplus of drawers providing ample storage.

The kitchen flooring as well as other 'wet' areas is an engineered, natural bamboo. It's stylish, soundproofed and very low maintenance.

I was only here for a couple of hours but could have stayed all day and drunk in those fabulous views. I am reliably informed the sunsets are out of this world too!

Head up an imposing staircase to the first floor landing. The main bedroom, with breathtaking views and eaves storage, is 23' long stretching the length of the top floor. The owners currently use a screen to disguise a dressing area but it offers the potential to easily create a lovely walk-in wardrobe or even another bedroom! Bedroom 2 is very comfortable too. The modern family bathroom is half tiled including an L shaped shower bath, vanity unit with drawers, tall chrome towel radiator complete with contemporary fittings.

The owners originally bought Ryvoan in 2010 because they love nature and views. However, after fourteen happy years here they have decided now is the time to move on to the next stage of their lives. In that time, they have made many changes including improving the layout, updating and modernising. Also, I have been advised the roof is sound, the gutters have been replaced and a new consumer unit was added in 2017. No stone has been left unturned with all renovations carried out to the highest standard by the same trusted company and given the Which? seal of approval.

OUTSIDE

An iron walkway, outside the front door, is bedecked with pretty pots, plants and a bench. Please don't bemoan that it doesn't have a garden! Who wants to spend all their days mowing the lawn and sweeping the leaves when you live on the Malvern Hills?

Ryvoan is situated in a tranquil spot yet it's only a five minute walk along West Malvern Road to Wyche Cutting: a popular location for those that love walking, running and cycling. The magnificent Malvern Hills, Worcester Beacon and it's numerous paths are only a stone's throw away.

Ryvoan offers even more than I had expected. She's ready to move into and must be seen so I highly recommend a viewing.
