Charming, detached family home with 3 double bedrooms, sitting room, kitchen, utility, conservatory, cloakroom, garage, south-facing garden, private parking, and hill views only a minutes' walk to pretty Link Common in Malvern. NO ONWARD CHAIN..
No. 66 comes to the sales market for the first time in over 60 years. Since the house was built in 1962 the owners have very fond memories of bringing up their family here. The house has always been beautifully maintained and sits proudly on a generous plot with lovely gardens. It is also ideally located close to the train station, community hospital and a good array of convenient shops in Malvern Link.
What struck me first about No.66 is the the attractive look of the house, solid design and construction, wide frontage, glorious gardens with a wrap-around terrace at the rear providing super options to extend if desired (STPP).
Downstairs includes a handy porch, cloakroom, large under stairs storage off the entrance hall, rear kitchen with utility and larder, long sitting room with a glass door leading to the conservatory. You will also appreciate just how light and bright this house is with the sun light streaming in!
The sitting room and conservatory is the heart of this home. Generous in size with a gas fire and marble hearth, roomy space for two large comfortable sofas plus a dining table and chairs (a side window was removed but could easily be re-installed) A glass door leads into a very welcoming conservatory with remote-controlled pleated roof blinds; the area is cosy yet used all year round for dining and socialising with family and friends..
The kitchen, albeit several years old now, has been well-cared for and includes a small breakfast bar (stools x 2), serving hatch, and laminate worktops. It has a good range of units with an electric double oven, ceramic hob, stainless steel sink/drainer and space for a washing machine and two fridge/freezers. There is side access to a utility room with a walk-in larder. The gas boiler is twenty years old but works well and regularly serviced.
Upstairs are three good double bedrooms that surround an airy landing, a feature of these distinctive traditional homes.
The main bedroom is sizeable with a fitted wardrobe and large rear window with views over the garden. Bedroom 2 is also a generous double room also with a fitted wardrobe and views to the front. Bedroom 3 is currently arranged as a single room but a fair size to incorporate a double bed.
The bathroom is fully tiled with an over the bath shower, folding glass screen, basin, vanity unit, loo and opaque side window.
In addition, there is good access to a partially boarded loft space with lighting and a drop-down loft ladder, built-in airing cupboard, cavity wall insulation, and double glazing throughout.
New ridge tiles have been added, the main roof has been cleaned as well as the drains.
GARDEN/OUTSIDE
The rear garden with terrace, level lawn, rockery, mature trees, shaped bushes, seasonal flowers and colourful plants is just delightful!
Manageable in size and easy to tend with a backdrop of trees and views of the Malvern Hills, the garden is quiet and private. It is fully enclosed with attractive timber fencing and very suitable for young children and pets. A wooden shed is tucked in the corner and ideal to store garden tools and furniture.
A pleasing, front garden has recently been landscaped. A block paving path and driveway surrounded by beds, bushes, lawn and Malvern stone wall leads to the front porch and side gate.
An attached garage with a new roller door, power and lighting allows for both a parked car and workbench. An up & over door at the rear of the garage was installed so the current owners could store a small camper.
Driveway parking is suitable for one car. This could subtly be adapted to allow for another vehicle. Further parking for guests or visitors can easily be found just outside on Pickersleigh Road.
