West Malvern Road, Malvern

£795,000

Guide price

A highly individual property and a rarely found position on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills. The property is set in a secluded plot, surrounded by mature woodland and benefitting from the far reaching westerly views towards the Brecon Beacons from its elevated position. Set in approximately half an acre that includes a special piece of bluebell & oak woodland, yet only 5 minutes in a car from Waitrose and shops of Great Malvern. The property comprises; entrance hallway with ground floor bathroom, large sitting room with views, dining kitchen, garden room, snug/second sitting room and master bedroom. To the lower ground floor is a hallway and utility, laundry room, additional reception room and further bedroom. The current owners needs has arranged the house with two bedrooms, however the snug and lower floor reception room could configure the property with three or four bedrooms. The lower ground floor could potentially be configured as an annex. Outside the property is approached via a private road, with gated driveway for several cars, the driveway leads to a detached timber framed garage. The additional benefit of this secluded location is the addition of mains gas to the property. Parkwood Lodge has very attractive and landscaped gardens, with many sections of interest and mature planting, with the additional benefit of a large timber cabin set into the woodland that would be an ideal home office or studio, or even additional accommodation. A delightful position and plot with flexible accommodation, which we highly recommend a viewing of to fully appreciate what's on offer.

OUTSIDE

Property approached via a private road down from West Malvern Road, through the gated entrance onto the engineering brick paved driveway. The driveway then sweeps around the rear of the property, providing lots of off road parking and leads to a detached, timber garage, with electric roller door and connected power. The gardens for the property extend around the main house, with distinctly different parts and areas of interest. With sections of planting, seating and dining space, paths and archways as well as a water feature. The garden extends to the front onto a decked seating area from where to enjoy the westerly views with a drink. Part of the garden has a woodland feel to it and this is where the Timber Cabin (4.70m x 3.40m) is situated in a slightly elevated position. The cabin has power connected and would be a perfect home office or studio space, or even some additional accommodation if required for guests. There is also a Fuel Store for Logs and Smokeless fuel situated by the gated entrance, a Dog Kennel /compound currently used for material storage and a timber Gazebo on the Eastern terrace. You really do get a sense of privacy and tranquility in the gardens of Parkwood Lodge.
