Victoria Road, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14

This imposing and elegant 2 bedroom apartment in highly desirable Great Malvern has period features and bags of potential. A grand sitting room with original wooden flooring, a generous sized kitchen, a garden room that could be converted to a stunning orangery, sash windows, south-facing flat garden with Malvern Hill views, a second bedroom, ensuite shower room, bathroom and handy side access and private parking, situated in a PRIME location only 4 minutes' walk to Waitrose and Great Malvern.

NO ONWARD CHAIN

I feel this utterly charming and impressive apartment (1,500 sq.feet), occupying most of the ground floor, will be snapped up. It has all that one is looking for with super potential to make your own. Add a beautiful kitchen with island, change the kitchen floor and create a dream home.

DESCRIPTION

Access to No. 1 is directly across from the main entrance hall or could be via a wooden side gate into the garden and then enter via the kitchen. As you walk into the apartment one is struck by the space and light and grand, well-proportioned rooms.

The sitting room (20'11 x 15'2) is magnificent with decorative cornices, picture rails, large bay window with original wooden shutters, original wooden flooring and ornate fireplace. A pair of French doors lead out to the must have garden. This majestic room enjoys south-facing sunlight streaming in all day.

The kitchen (12'9 x 12'4) as you can see needs revamping but is a great space with tall ceilings and you can create a beautiful fairy-tale kitchen with kitchen island and bespoke units of your choice.

If the current owners had decided not to sell the apartment they genuinely considered making internal improvements and replacing the garden room with an orangery or conservatory (STPP)

The bedroom accommodation is on the other side of the apartment and separated by a central hallway with the attractive original Victorian tiled flooring.

The main bedroom (17'7 x 15'3) with en-suite shower room, cornices, picture rails, wooden sash windows and shutters overlooks the front. If one wanted to enlarge the shower there is an ideal space in an adjoining hallway cupboard to incorporate to make this so. The boiler takes up too much room next to the loo and needs to be moved higher up the ensuite wall.

The family bathroom (12'2 x 5'0) could do with a walk in shower. There is a handy area (8'4 x 5'0) off the bathroom with potential to install, for example, a study, cloakroom or walk-in wardrobe.

Bedroom 2 (12'2 x 7'6) is a double bedroom with tall ceilings and lends itself to a guest room or home office.

Storage is good with two cupboards in the hallway and plenty of room to install further fitted units. An internal door in the hallway leads down to a communal cellar which you can store any additional items with ease.

GARDEN

Rarely does one have such a fabulous, private garden (75' x 45') with an apartment! It is enclosed, flat and includes splendid views of the Malvern Hills. Mature trees, bushes and shrubs circle a south-facing lawn and patio with some shaded spots to get relief from our scorching summers!

One off-road parking space, allocated to No. 1, can be found at the front of the building. Further parking is convenient and can easily be found on Victoria Road.

To summarise this is definitely one of my FAVOURITE apartments. It has previously been let out over the last twenty years hence it now needs some updating to bring it back to it's glorious best! There have been issues of damp raised in the survey and the owners are obtaining quotes.

Kindly note pets are welcome at 5 Victoria Road.

BROADBAND - Full Fibre. Wide range of packages with speeds up to 944 Mbps

All mains services including gas central heating, electricity, BT, water and drainage are connected to the property...

Victoria Road is a quiet and attractive residential road with a good mix of traditional, modern and charming properties in a highly desirable area that is walking distance to the theatre, shops, cafes, markets, restaurants, and Great Malvern train station.

Malvern is a safe and beautiful town with an abundance of quintessentially British charm steeped in culture. A designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the spectacular Malvern Hills providing a glorious back drop, you will find this so much more than just a place to put down roots.

Here you will find independent boutiques, outstanding restaurants, pubs, cafes, a range of supermarkets including Waitrose and the renowned Malvern Theatre. A favourite of mine is Faun - excellent for brunch and the best cinnamon buns made daily!

The Malvern Theatre is a real pull, located in the Winter Gardens complex in the town centre of Great Malvern and has been a provincial centre for the arts since 1885. It is a model of artistic and architectural excellence and boasts a diverse programme and great selection of events throughout the year.

For those who love walking and cycling the magnificent Malvern Hills are literally on your doorstep.

Some of the finest independent, primary and secondary schools are located in Malvern including Malvern College, Malvern St. James, The Elms, The Downs, Wyche Primary and The Chase High School nearby.

The ever popular Three Counties Showground offers a variety of events throughout the year including festivals, food, gardening, agricultural, entertainment and so much more..

Malvern has excellent links by road and rail: Great Malvern and Malvern Link train stations are only a few minutes away with direct links to Worcester (10 minutes), Birmingham (1 hour) and London Paddington (2 hours 15 mins) with Junction 7 of the M5 a short drive away. Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Broadway, Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham all readily accessible.

It really is a beautiful place to live and attracts the nicest people!
