Location & Description

The property enjoys a convenient location almost equidistant from the well served centres of Malvern Link, Barnards Green and Great Malvern. It is therefore particularly well placed for access to a wide range of amenities, notably in Great Malvern where there are shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium.

Educational needs are also well catered for. Malvern has a deserved reputation for the quality of its schools in both state and private systems at primary and secondary levels including The Chase Secondary School and Dyson Perrins Church of England Academy as well as Malvern College and Malvern St James Girls School.

Transport communications are equally impressive. There are mainline railway stations in both nearby Malvern Link and in Great Malvern itself. The area is well served by a regular bus service and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway south of Worcester is only seven miles. The property is only about ten minutes away on foot from Malvern Link Common so this is the perfect spot for dog walkers. The Malvern Hills are only about five minutes by car.


23 Charles Way is a wonderfully situated detached bungalow in a service road off this popular residential cul-de-sac of Charles Way. The property is initially approached via double wooden vehicular gates set between brick pillars and leading to a gravel drive that allows parking for vehicles. Set back behind a mature foregarden with specimen trees and enclosed by a fenced and walled perimeter to front. The driveway continues round to the side of the property and to the front door which opens to the accommodation which is in need of complete refurbishment and updating. Once complete it would make for a magnificent home for any decerning purchaser.

The bungalow itself is of brick and timber framed construction under a pitched tiled roof and one of the key selling points of the property is the generous grounds and being situated on a corner plot. The garden wraps around the property to three sides and enclosed by a hedge and fenced perimeter. The rear aspect overlooks the Morgan factory playing fields.

Within the grounds there are a number of outbuildings which would make for a wonderful annexe or home office and have versatility in their use once refurbishment works were completed.

The private front door for the property is an obscure glazed wooden door that opens to the accommodation that is in excess of 1,100 sq feet and as described previously is in need of complete refurbishment and updating.
