Location & Description
This is an ideal opportunity to purchase a very well presented, character, semi-detached Edwardian family house which is situated on the upper western slopes of the Malvern Hills and therefore enjoys fine long distance views from both the front and rear. West Malvern is a very popular area of the Malverns and is regarded as an ideal place to live being served with a primary school, church and bus service, as well as having easy access to many walks on and around the hills.
The well served village of Colwall is close by as is the cultural and historic spa town of Great Malvern, where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, banks, building societies, Post Office, restaurants and the Waitrose supermarket. Malvern, as well as being famous for its range of hills is also renowned for its theatre complex with concert hall and cinema and for having recreational facilities at the Splash leisure centre and Manor Park sports club.
Educational facilities are well catered for with a number of primary schools in the area and senior schools in both the state and private sectors including The Chase, Dyson Perrins, Malvern College, Malvern St James Girls' School and The Downs and The Elms in Colwall.
Transport communications are excellent with mainline railway stations at Colwall, Great Malvern and Malvern Link having connections to Worcester, Birmingham, London Paddington, Hereford and South Wales. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester brings the Midlands and most parts of the country within a convenient travelling time.

The property has light, airy and well proportioned rooms on three floors together with much character having solid interior doors, sash windows and high corniced ceilings. The Oak entrance porch, Oak floors, French doors and sash windows have all been installed since 2007 by a local craftsman. The stained glass windows have also been installed by a specialist local craftsman. It is difficult to do full justice to the property within the confines of these details and so the agent strongly recommends an early inspection to appreciate the quality and size of its interior, its delightful views and of course its ideal location.
