Hanley Terrace, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14

Penn Lodge is a fine, commanding and elegant Victorian residence with fabulous countryside views. With 5 bedrooms, (4 doubles & 1 single) suited to home office or dressing rooms), modern kitchen/breakfast room, traditional layout, grand proportions and a large double garage. The house sits proudly in an elevated position on the ever popular Wells Road in Malvern and has all you would expect and more from a classic, period home..

With extensive and magical grounds of 3/4 acre, mature gardens, porch, grand entrance hall, tall ceilings, fireplaces, period features, picture rails, large wooden sash windows and glorious views of the Severn Valley.

A rear garden gate leads out on to Eaton Road providing excellent access on to the Malvern Hills with its stunning views and miles of countryside walks.

As you enter into the main entrance hall, with its original Victorian tiles, you are instantly struck by the generous proportions. From the sunlight streaming into the sitting room and the dining room opposite, both cosy with log burners, fabulous views and ideal for entertaining to the fully modernised and extended kitchen/breakfast room, utility room, cloakroom and adorable study/office. A rear door and two side doors open out directly to the spectacular gardens.

(Please note all the internal doors have received a fresh coat of white paint. The original wooden floor boards, preserved under the carpets, are ready to unearth and restore to their former glory, an easy way to bring the original Victorian theme back into the house.)

The large welcoming kitchen has been extended and fully modernised by the owners. Complete with an AGA, granite worktops, tiled floor, fitted appliances including a gas hob, electric oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge freezer making this the real heart of the home.

Head up the traditional staircase to four fine double bedrooms. Airy, light, all of equal size and boasting superb views of the gardens and surrounding countryside. Bedroom 3 includes an en suite wet room with WC and wash basin. There are two further bedrooms, albeit singles, currently used as a dressing room and study.

The family bathroom is half tiled comprising a free standing bath, shower enclosure, WC and wash basin. The stairs give rise to a third storey to reveal an open and convenient loft storage area; much easier to gain access than through a narrow loft hatch.

There is also the possibility of planning being approved for a second dwelling on the plot.

Penn Lodge is located on Hanley Terrace above Wells Road. There is a road below the house so complete tranquility in the garden would be unrealistic to expect. The existing secondary glazing is very sufficient but it would benefit from double glazing if one had the budget. Just to confirm, the house is not Grade II listed and alterations and updates would be fairly easy to achieve.

OUTSIDE

Intriguing, charming gardens of approximately 3/4 acre surround the property and extend for a considerable distance between Wells Road and Eaton Road. The landscaped gardens with flat lawns, flowers, hydrangeas and border shrubs encompass the house with a bank of spectacular colourful Acer trees and paths to the rear. A south-facing lawn enjoys sweeping views towards Bredon Hill.

The patio area off the kitchen was completely re-configured to make it a more useable and practical space and for anyone that likes land and gardens, this house ticks all those boxes.

An excellent double garage with light, power and driveway parking is located at the far end of the garden.

With a little flair and imagination to restore the Victorian features, this home is a true beauty and I look forward to showing you around this gem.
