Victoria Road, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14

Imposing and elegant apartment with period features and bags of potential! With two bedrooms, en-suite shower room, grand sitting room with original wooden flooring, kitchen with ample storage, garden room, sash windows, south-facing terrace, flat garden, side access and private parking, situated in a prime location only 5 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 also with super potential to make your own mark!

DESCRIPTION

Access to No. 1 is just off the main entrance hall or via a wooden side gate into the garden and kitchen. As you enter the apartment one is struck by the space and light of sizeable, well-proportioned rooms.

The sitting room (20'11 x 15'2) is magnificent with decorative cornices, picture rails, large bay window with wooden shutters, original wooden flooring and fireplace. Note: the fireplace is not usable due to the apartments located above. A pair of French doors lead out to the terrace and garden. This grand room enjoys south-facing sunlight streaming in all day!

The kitchen (12'9 x 12'4) comprises a range of base and wall cabinets, electric oven, ceramic hob, extractor, quarry tile floor and glazed door leading to a sun-filled garden room. It"s great space with tall ceilings and would benefit from updating to create a beautiful fairy-tale kitchen. 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 attractive Victorian tile 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 tray there is a good space in an adjoining hallway cupboard.

The family bathroom (12'2 x 5'0) is part tiled with an opaque lower sash window and includes a bath, pedestal wash basin, low level WC , towel rail, and vinyl flooring. 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.

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!

Kindly note pets are welcome at 5 Victoria Road (subject to freeholder approval)

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...

LOCATION

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!
