Description

Built in 1880 by The Ballard Family, Stone Hall is an attractive period property enjoying a sunny south west facing aspect with wonderful views towards the Malvern Hills. Originally three cottages, Stone Hall has an interesting history and has previously been used as a public house, army ration centre, a Temperance Hotel and most recently served as offices. The property is arranged over three floors with an internal staircase connecting all floors and comprises both residential accommodation and commercial offices. The property is in need of improvement and offers an exciting opportunity to create a fine family home or potentially be divided into individual units, subject to the necessary consents.

There are many fine period features throughout including high ceilings, sash windows, corniced ceilings and attractive fireplaces. The accommodation on the first floor is approached by an external set of stone steps, which lead to a terraced seating area with access to a large entrance porch. A solid wood entrance door leads to a spacious hallway with a breakfast kitchen and family bathroom. Stairs lead to a half landing with two reception rooms and master bedroom. On the second floor there are two further double bedrooms, both with fitted storage.

The commercial offices are located on the ground floor and comprise two large offices, impressive boardroom, separate studio, kitchen area and two WC's.

Outside, Stone Hall enjoys a pleasant area of garden with high hedging for privacy. A driveway provides ample parking with access to a detached DOUBLE GARAGE.

With so much to offer, an early inspection is highly recommended.
