Location & Description
The property enjoys a semi-rural position just over a mile south of Great Malvern town centre where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium.

Transport communications are excellent. There is a mainline railway station in Great Malvern itself. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester and Junction 1 of the M50 near Upton are both within easy commuting distance. The house is also well placed for access to some of the best schools in the region at both primary and secondary levels.

Standing in an elevated spot on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills, 119 Wells Road enjoys a fine outlook across adjacent farmland towards the Severn Valley in the distance. It also enjoys easy access to the many footpaths and bridleways on the Malvern Hills themselves.
The property is approached across a private road that serves half a dozen homes, off the main road, although it should be noted that there is pedestrian access via the rear garden directly on to Wells Road.

The accommodation does require updating and refurbishment although the house has been perfectly well maintained over the years. On the ground floor an enclosed porch and hall lead to a sitting room and dining room (both of which enjoy a lovely view across countryside), a kitchen, cloakroom with WC and a conservatory. At first floor level a landing leads to three bedrooms (two of which also have fine views) and a bathroom with WC. Heating is provided by way of a gas boiler serving radiators and windows are double glazed.

Outside the house stands in a mature hillside garden with a driveway that can accommodate two vehicles and a detached garage.

From Great Malvern proceed south along the A449 Wells Road towards Ledbury. Continue out of town and across Peachfield Common. After approximately a mile (just after the turn to Hanley Terrace) there is a concealed turn downhill on the left hand side (look out for a boat parked at this point). This is a private road that serves half a dozen houses, one of which is number 119 Wells Road. Parking is a little restricted so viewers are advised to park along Wells Road instead as indicated by John Goodwins Sale board and then to go to the property via a pedestrian gate that leads into the rear garden of the house.
