Beautiful rarely available garden apartment with grand proportions, tall ceilings, one peaceful double bedroom, superb sitting room, perfect kitchen/dining room, period features, oak flooring, restored window shutters, versatile layout, private courtyard, allocated parking and serene communal gardens.
Set within the imposing and historic North Grove on Abbey Road, a prime residential area of Great Malvern, only a stone's throw from the Malvern theatre, shops, cafes and restaurants.
A little wrought iron side gate, shared by only two apartments, leads down past an array of pretty flowers towards the established communal gardens at the rear. It is here you will find a private courtyard, covered porch area and entrance door to this tranquil, secure and impressive home.
As you enter this delightful apartment you will be struck by the wide central hallway (17'7 x 6'4 max), plenty of natural light, a wealth of period features including original doors, picture rails and tall ceilings. The pièce de résistance is the magnificent sitting room (20'4 x 16'10) with decorative cornices, fireplace, arched sash windows and internal wooden shutters, plus unsurpassed views over the established gardens, mature trees and countryside beyond; the sound of silence in such a central location is a joy to behold!
Please note the windows, including secondary glazing, have been completely reconditioned by Heritage Windows with new cords, weights and locks.
Opposite the sitting room is the stylish kitchen/dining room (17'4 x 12'4) comprising white wall and base cupboards, Neff oven, 4 ring gas hob, free standing dishwasher, fridge/freezer, ceramic sink and drainer, splash back tiles, and laminate worktops. The kitchen window with a view over the courtyard, a plethora of plant pots and tumbling flowers really completes this room.
The dining area is generous with plenty of room for a large kitchen table, chairs and sofa; this really is a lovely room to entertain in with plenty of options to adapt to suit your own needs!
The bedroom (15'2 x 10'2) is elegant. A serene and tastefully decorated room with fitted wardrobes, period features and another ornate sash window overlooking the pretty garden. Currently arranged with two single beds, the room would comfortably take a vast king size bed too...
The family bathroom (9'2 x 9'1) is half-tiled and has recently been upgraded to include a new walk-in shower, WC, wash basin and vanity unit. There is a handy airing cupboard to store towels and linen. Off the bathroom is a useful cupboard with plumbing for a washer/dryer.
In my opinion, there is nothing not to love about this lovely flat. It is instantly welcoming, generous in dimensions, guests would be very comfortable on a sofa bed in the sitting room and you would always feel that you had great space to enjoy! The walk in shower was added last year as a more practical option to a bath.
The absolute tranquilly of this comfortable home was also a major pull for me as I sat and couldn't hear a thing. No cars swooshing by, just beautiful greenery to enjoy and I am told the hooting of owls.
I adore the courtyard with it's abundance of pots, loved walking down the steps past all the pretty and carefully planted mature plants on either side and this whole area provides beauty.
At the front you will find allocated parking for one car.
