Plot size: 5.687 acres
A fantastic opportunity to acquire a substantial detached house in a private position with panoramic views. Accommodation comprises: entrance hall, kitchen, living room, dining room, snug, conservatory, study, games room (with sauna). To the first floor: three double bedrooms (master with en-suite), family bathroom. Outside: studio apartment, garage plus workshop, ample parking, beautiful gardens extending to approximately five acres, private location.
Hillside is situated in an elevated position, high on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills on a country lane that climbs around the western side of the Herefordshire Beacon - an Iron Age hill fort. The house stands on protected land within the boundary of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty that is administered by the Malvern Hills Conservators. This body was created by one of the very first acts of Parliament to be concerned with conservation, passed in 1884. The property enjoys an unrivalled position, affording stunning views across the Herefordshire countryside towards the Black Mountains. The thriving market town of Ledbury, now famous for its annual Poetry Festival, is just 3 miles away and offers a wonderful range of independent shops, prize-winning butchers, supermarkets, both primary and secondary schools, churches, community hospital, library, lively arts scene and leisure facilities. The cathedral cities of Worcester (12 ½ miles), Hereford (18 ½ miles), and Gloucester (19 ½ miles) are all within easy reach along with the town of Cheltenham (25 miles). Excellent rail links to Birmingham New Street and London Paddington can be made from Colwall / Ledbury. Access to the motorway network is via J2 of the M50 (8 miles).
Hillside offers light and spacious family accommodation that makes the most of its unique location and glorious views. The entrance hall is spacious and features coloured glass panels on either side of the front door. An arched doorway leads into the roomy study and the games room adjacent has a sauna tucked away to the corner. Steps lead down to the stunning family living room with parquet flooring, brick feature fireplace and French windows onto the sun/bbq terrace with Spanish-style water feature. The living room has been carefully designed to bathe in all the afternoon light and enjoy the stunning sunsets, characteristic of the western side of the Malvern Hills. The dining room also affords access to the sun/bbq terrace. The kitchen and snug area reveal the history at the core of this home. The exposed beams and inglenook fireplace (complete with wood burner) are indeed part of the original cottage that stood here during the 18th century. Kitchen units are in an attractive dark oak which complements the old beams perfectly. The utility room has built in units, sink and access to a rear courtyard. The conservatory, providing direct access to the garden, is the perfect place to unwind with a coffee while taking in the far-reaching views. The cloakroom completes the ground floor. From the dining room, stairs rise to the first floor where there are three bedrooms. The master bedroom is large, light and airy with those fabulous views and benefits from having generous built-in wardrobes. The en-suite bathroom has a large Jacuzzi style bath and separate walk-in shower. There is also a family bathroom.
Located on the first floor, above the games room and enjoying access from the outside only, is a gabled studio apartment. This comprises a large double bedroom / sitting room, kitchen with fitted units and double sink, and shower room. This apartment gives the property added versatility and would make ideal guest accommodation or teenagers den. Hillside also benefits from having a large workshop, ideal for those hobby / DIY enthusiasts. There is also a garage and ample parking. The mature and well-established gardens have a terraced lawn that makes the most of this unique location and beautiful backdrop. A large standing stone sculpture adds to the drama of the setting. The garden also benefits from two summerhouses and a woodland glade follows the contour of the hill along the track. In total the gardens cover an area of approximately five acres.
Council Tax Band: G, Malvern Hill District Council.
Mains water (not metered); mains electricity; septic tank drainage.
Oil-fired central heating.
The property is situated within a conservation area.
