6 Bedroom Semi-Detached For Sale   |   Christ Church Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 3BH   |    £835,000 Sold

Summary

INTRODUCTION

No. 7 Christ Church Road, built in 1904 is a grand and impressive period house situated, in my opinion, on one of the finest roads in Great Malvern. Imposing, six bedrooms, semi-detached, three reception rooms, original features, tranquil, large level garden, fantastic views of the Malvern Hills and within walking distance of the train station and local shops.

DESCRIPTION

This handsome, rarely available semi-detached house (3204 sq ft or 298 sq/m) has managed to retain much of it's Edwardian heritage with original features including ornate fireplaces throughout, high ceilings, elegant sash windows, ceiling cornices, tall skirtings, decorative architraves, stripped pine floors and the original servants bell.

It is as you enter that you fully appreciate the wonderful and ornate proportions of this period property with a striking entrance hall, two pretty patterned sash windows letting sunlight flood in, original tiled flooring and wide hallway (20'8 x 7'0) that leads to the generous reception rooms and kitchen.

Surrounding the imposing staircase is a large reception room on the left (17'10 x 13'3) currently used as a dining room with fire place, picture rail, original cupboards and bay window with lovely views of the Malvern Hills. In my mind, I see this as a further sitting room with possibly a table in the window, large soft sofas and the fire blazing making full use of this versatile room.

The other sitting room to the rear (13'10 x 13'9) makes an ideal TV room, comfortable and cozy, also with a working fireplace and enjoys terrific views over the garden.

An attractive kitchen (13'10 x 13'4) with quartz worktops, shining gas AGA, Belfast sink, dishwasher, handy island and plenty of storage. I was pleased to find the two wooden cupboards either side of the AGA are original.

A pretty, sun filled breakfast room (10'4 x 7'4) off the kitchen with double aspect windows and kitchen table makes an ideal room for the family to enjoy a relaxed meal together.
A back door leads down to an area with honeysuckle strewn wooden pergola and a natural flagstone patio, handy when entertaining friends and family for a BBQ on those long summer evenings.

On the lower ground floor, accessed at the end of the hallway, you will find a further sitting room overlooking the garden currently used as the children's den/TV/play area. There is a laundry room, original wc, a large woodstore/workshop where the Worcester boiler can be found plus a wine cellar. The lower ground floor (677 sq ft total) has excellent potential to become an annexe with its own entrance.

From the ground floor, head up the staircase to a wide landing where you will find Bedroom 2 (14'5 x 13'3) with contemporary, newly fitted grey wardrobes and attractive fireplace with stunning views of neighbouring gardens and Bredon Hill. Next is Bedroom 3 (14'6 x 13'11) also with attractive fireplace and impressive views. At the end of the roomy and sun filled landing is a large, modern shower room (7'1 x 6'8) and separate wc. The main Bedroom (15'4 x 13'4) with fireplace, two sash windows and has enviable views of the Malvern Hills.

On the second floor you will find what are currently the childrens' rooms, Bedroom 4 (14'5 x 13'2) and Bedroom 5 (14'5 x 13'10), both with original fireplaces and panoramic country views. There is a family bathroom (6'10 x 6'7) and Bedroom 6 (15'4 x 13'3) which is currently used as a home office by the owner with captivating views of the Malvern Hills.

GARDEN/OUTSIDE

This much larger than average, unbelievably flat and versatile rear garden has an abundance of roses, camellias, cherry trees, honeysuckle, lavender and a wide array of seasonal flowers and shrubs that enhance the beauty of this fine home. You will find a large greenhouse and the garden is in two sections allowing children to kick a ball about in the rear part without disturbing others sitting out nearer the house.

Location

LOCATION

Malvern is a safe and beautiful town with an abundance of quintessentially British charm steeped in culture. A designated area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the spectacular Malvern Hills providing a glorious back drop, you will find this so much more than just a place to put down roots.

Here you will find independent boutiques, outstanding restaurants, pubs, cafes, a range of supermarkets including Waitrose and the renowned Malvern Theatre. A favourite of mine is Terrace on the Hill, excellent for brunch and the best cakes made daily.

The Malvern Theatre is a real pull, located in the Winter Gardens complex in the town centre of Great Malvern and has been a provincial centre for the arts since 1885. It is a model of artistic and architectural excellence and boasts a diverse programme and great selection of events throughout the year.

For those who love walking and cycling the magnificent Malvern Hills are literally on your doorstep.

Some of the finest independent, primary and secondary schools are located in Malvern including Malvern College, Malvern St. James and The Downs in the private sector and the Wyche Primary and The Chase High School are nearby.

The ever popular Three Counties Showground offers a variety of events throughout the year including festivals, food, gardening, agricultural, entertainment and so much more..

Malvern has excellent links by road and rail: Great Malvern and Malvern Link train stations are only a few minutes away with direct links to Worcester (10 minutes), Birmingham (1 hour) and London Paddington (2 hours 15 mins) with Junction 7 of the M5 a short drive away. Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Broadway, Bristol, Cardiff and Birmingham all readily accessible.

Energy Efficiency

Additional Information

In the past few years the house has undergone a programme of refurbishment and renovation which has included the overhauling of the roof and external re-decoration.

The Edwardian period marked a peak in British building standards and these homes have a reputation for being well designed and constructed using high quality materials. People buying an Edwardian home can have a beautiful period property without the worry and maintenance costs that older properties can sometimes bring.

These period properties are a sound investment for their age. I really cannot stress enough what a delightful property No. 7 is and if you want a magnificent house with huge kerb appeal then look no further.
