Description

This period terraced townhouse presents a compelling opportunity for renovation and investment, situated in a desirable area between the charming Victorian town of Great Malvern and the lively shopping precinct of Barnards Green. Both locations offer a variety of independent shops, supermarkets including Co-op and Waitrose, plus local restaurants and community facilities. For broader retail needs, the Townsend Way retail park in Malvern Link is conveniently nearby, featuring well-known high street retailers. Excellent transport links enhance this property’s appeal; the mainline railway station at Great Malvern provides direct services to Worcester, Birmingham, Hereford, London, and South Wales. Local bus routes connect to surrounding areas, while Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is easily accessible for commuting throughout the Midlands and beyond. The property has significant potential for refurbishment. Spanning four floors and exceeding 1,700 square feet, it retains many original features that contribute to its character. The lower ground floor offers an exciting opportunity for conversion into a self-contained one-bedroom annexe or rental apartment (subject to necessary permissions). Upon entering the residence via a stepped pedestrian path that leads through a mature garden area, you are welcomed by high ceilings and period detailing evident in the reception hall. This space sets the tone for further exploration of the house's versatile layout. The sitting room boasts beautiful cornicing and large sash windows that let in ample light. The kitchen provides a functional base with existing units and views toward Worcestershire Beacon. A welcoming rear hallway leads down to the lower ground floor where additional accommodation can be found. On the first floor, two generously sized bedrooms feature original fireplaces and delightful views of the surrounding hills. A shower room completes this level while ascending to the second floor reveals two more spacious bedrooms with exposed ceiling timbers adding character. Outside, an enclosed rear garden offers privacy with potential for landscaping improvements or outdoor living enhancements. In summary, this property combines historic charm with modern investment potential in a sought-after location, making it an ideal candidate for those looking to create their dream home or invest in rental opportunities.
