This sublime 3 bedroom apartment is set over the entire first floor of an elegant Victorian Villa which dates back to 1883. It was sensitively converted in 2002 from a hotel into three generously proportioned properties, with the first floor apartment providing a highly desirable 1584 sq. feet of versatile living space. NO ONWARD CHAIN.
The secret gem of this apartment is the expansive and spectacular private roof terrace, accessed by an internal spiral staircase with commanding views of the Malvern hills and across the Vale of Evesham. This indulgent space offers complete privacy and seclusion, with only birdsong and the occasional paraglider overhead. The low maintenance decking means you can pull out your reclining garden chair and relax, in peace, on top of the world.
Tastefully designed throughout, there are no gloomy days in this apartment, thanks to the impressive roof lantern above the central stairwell and landing. Natural light floods into the space all year-round and is perfect for a little stargazing too! Visitors jaws will drop as mine did when you look up. It's a real showstopper.
The current owner has modernised and decorated throughout to create the stylish interior we see today. The 20 ft x 15 ft sitting room is my favourite room and provides a great space to entertain or simply to relax in and enjoy the perfect view. It hosts a wealth of period features including a large fireplace with a marble surround and gas coal effect fire.
The shaker-style kitchen offers an abundance of storage space and integrated appliances creating a modern seamless look. There's also a handy breakfast bar for more casual dining and those all-important coffee breaks.
Bedroom 1 is a very generous 17' x 14' with oodles of space to fit an Emperor sized bed and even a decadent sofa along with your wardrobes and chest of drawers. You won't be in any hurry to get out of bed in the morning with the breathtaking views from this room. The adjacent en-suite shower room also enjoys the same outlook over the hills.
Bedroom 2 is also extremely pleasing at 14' x 13' and enjoys far-reaching rear views and dual aspect light from the tall sash windows. The owner is currently using Bedroom 3 as a home office but it could easily accommodate a sofa/day bed for guests to stay.
*Please note that the flat is very well soundproofed, imperative for apartment living.*
The elegant rooms are a delight, with tasteful fully double glazed windows in excellent condition making it remarkably warm for a large apartment. It has light flooding in, tall ceilings and the best views in the building.
The location is perfect and one that I get asked for all the time when selling homes. People rightly love living in Victoria Road because it is a quiet street unlike Graham Road above it. There is no thoroughfare of noisy traffic and this makes it highly desirable in my opinion. A 5 minute walk to Waitrose, the theatre, cafes and restaurants all add to its vast appeal.
There are no pets allowed and no rentals permitted. The three owners are all owner occupiers and would like to retain a peaceful haven in which to live.
