The property enjoys a convenient location less than a mile from the centre of Great Malvern where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including a Waitrose supermarket, two banks, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. The thriving neighbourhoods of Barnards Green and Malvern Link are also close at hand, both of which provide a full range of shops, retail outlets, takeaways etc. Malverns main retail park which boasts a number of familiar High Street names is approximately a mile away. The house falls within the catchment area a several highly regarded schools at both primary and secondary levels.


283 Pickersleigh Road is a traditional two storey semi detached period cottage. Sadly it has been the subject of very little investment over the years and now requires full renovation and refurbishment.

Approached from the rear of the property via an entrance porch the property has a sitting room, a kitchen (which doubles as a bathroom) and three bedrooms. Outside, a good size garden has been somewhat neglected over the years but does offer a potential buyer a real opportunity to create a lovely setting. A partly made up driveway provides extensive parking and leads to the rear of the house where there is a small outhouse which comprises an external WC and fuel store. There are also the remains of a now derelict lean-to/carport in the rear garden.

Potential buyers should also be aware of the fact that the current water supply is shared with the neighbouring property which runs through the kitchen of number 283 into number 281 Pickersleigh Road. The owner of number 281 would ideally like to come to an arrangement with the successful buyer of number 283 to separate this supply so that each property has its own source of water. The selling agents will be happy to discuss this matter.

It should be noted that as the house does not currently have a separate kitchen and bathroom (they are combined) or an internal WC some mortgage lenders may consider the property to be an unsuitable security for mortgage purposes. Before making an offer potential buyers are advised to consult with their mortgage advisor/lender of choice.
