West Bank Gables is one of a small collection of Edwardian buildings constructed originally as a country hospital. Situated close to the thriving riverside market town of Upton-upon-Severn. A gated private driveway bordered with mature trees and shrubs winds around to the front of this unusual double-gabled house. Upton-upon-Severn is less than 1 mile away and has much to offer the resident and visitor alike. Upton has 3 churches of different denominations, an excellent primary school, a state-of-the-art Health Centre with dental surgery, a good selection of shops, and many public houses and restaurants. The historic Spa town of Malvern is just 7 miles away. The cathedral city of Worcester is 9 miles away. Nearest motorway is Junction 1 of the M50, 4 miles away, for access onto the M5 - north to Worcester and Birmingham, and south to Bristol and the Southwest.
West Bank Gables is a brick-built Edwardian building of enormous character which has been extended, renovated and refurbished to an exceptionally high standard. It now provides stunning and spacious family accommodation. The imaginative conversion has produced a home that is primarily on ground level but that features high vaulted ceilings in most of its rooms. The large entrance hallway with exposed brick walls and polished reclaimed pine floorboards links the elements of the house together. At one end of the hallway double, latched, ledge and brace doors lead into the kitchen/dining room, living room, and conservatory. The light and airy kitchen/dining room features beech and electric jade units under a beech worktop with a grey inset 1 ½ bowl sink, an integrated dishwasher, microwave cupboard, and de Dietrich range with electric double oven, gas hob and professional quality stainless steel extractor hood. The floor is boarded in reclaimed pine, with French windows providing access to the garden. The adjoining living room has one of the high-level Edwardian dormer windows that characterise this property, a boarded floor, designer vertical radiators, and inset ceiling spotlights. The contemporary look is enhanced by a Scandinavian-style wood burner, with full height internal chimney, set onto a black pebble hearth. Adjoining the living room is the bespoke Crystal-Palace-inspired, treated softwood conservatory with under-floor heating. Double glass-panelled doors lead from the conservatory onto the garden beyond. From the kitchen/dining room a door leads to the utility room and adjoining cloakroom. There is a boarded loft space with loft ladder above, which provides that all important additional storage. The utility room has beech units under a beech worktop with a stainless steel 1 ½ bowl inset sink, with stone tile flooring throughout. A stable door provides access to the detached brick garage and garden. From the hallway, a second pair of latched, ledge and brace doors lead into the double bedroom with en-suite wet room. The bedroom has an impressive full height mansard ceiling, with two original dormer windows in addition to a 4 panelled window overlooking the garden. The floor is boarded with reclaimed pine. The en-suite wet room is contemporary with stone tiles, electric Mira shower, and heated towel rail. A door in the hallway opens onto the ample airing cupboard with slatted shelving and central heating controls.
Further along the hallway is the door into the master bedroom. This room also benefits from a high ceiling, large arched window overlooking the rear garden, and high level original dormer window. The floor is boarded with varnished reclaimed pine. Large fitted wardrobes with overhead cupboards offer ample storage space, and a stylish and surprising access to the en-suite bath/shower room. The bath/shower room has a window overlooking the rear garden, and features a deep, semi counter sunk bath with black mosaic tile surround flanked by matching, internally-lit glass seats. The room also benefits from full textured stone tiling, a heated towel rail, and mains shower cubicle with extractor fan. At the end of the hallway a door leads into the family shower room which features textured stone tiling, a heated towel rail, and a mains shower cubicle with glass splash-back walls. Opposite the master bedroom is the doorway into the second gable end of the property, which has been imaginatively converted to provide two bedrooms, one of which is at mezzanine level. An inner vestibule allows independent access to the charming ground floor bedroom. From the vestibule a door also leads onto a ¼ turn staircase giving access to the studio study bedroom. The clever design of this studio allows plenty of room for a computer desk, a sleeping area and clothes storage rails.
The L-shaped garden is well-maintained and laid primarily to lawn with laurel hedging. Victorian blue bricks and block paving create a pathway that separates the building from the lawn, and a terrace area outside the rear stable door and kitchen/diner French windows; ideal for entertaining when the weather allows. The front decking terrace is the ideal place for containers and tubs. The garden is secure and gated at both sides of the property, making it a safe place for children to play. In addition to the open-fronted woodlap garage there is a wooden garden shed, space for a log store, and a charming chalet-style play house, currently being used as a pet palace. The detached brick-built garage has been wood lined and equipped with lighting and power points and would make an ideal outside office suite, or could easily be converted to provide additional accommodation. As an addition to the outside space, Planning Permission has been granted to construct a timber Summer House with a Cedar shingle roof in the far corner of the garden, with panoramic views to the Malvern Hills. The details can be viewed under Planning Application Number 08/00650/FUL with Malvern Hills District Council.
