Situation

The Hollies is situated within the popular and thriving residential area of Malvern Wells, just south of Great Malvern. This elegant house is conveniently located for good amenities including renowned schooling and good road/rail links (with a regular service to London, Paddington). Hereford, Worcester, Cheltenham and Birmingham are all within easy travelling distances. With the Malvern Hills on your doorstep, this is an area which offers a much sought after quality of life, combined with great accessibility.

The Hollies

* The Hollies is a beautiful Georgian property dating to around 1830 which retains many period features throughout, including original floorboards, cornicing, internal and external doors, staircases, exposed brick flooring and fireplaces, all of which add a great deal of charm and character to this spacious home, which is set over three floors. * A pair of wooden, Gothic-style doors lead to an enclosed porch and the front door, which opens out to the main hallway, with principal reception rooms off either side. Stairs lead up and down to the first floor and the lower ground floor. * There are three reception rooms and cloakroom on the ground floor, which include a spacious formal dining room, featuring an original fireplace. This room leads through to a study which is a versatile space with its large bay window overlooking the garden to the east side.

The Hollies (continued)

* The sitting room would originally have been two separate rooms and is now one open plan space used as a family/TV room with its open fire, and a more formal sitting room leading off. At the far end of the hall is a WC, which has been fitted in the period style with a high-level cistern and traditional Edwardian-style sink. * A staircase leads to the lower ground floor, which would have historically been the servant’s domain to include the kitchen, laundry and a place for the servants to eat. The modern fitted kitchen/breakfast room offers plenty of storage and is complemented by a larder cupboard, an integrated fridge-freezer, electric NEFF Cooker with ceramic hob and space for a dishwasher. The breakfast area has a modern bar and a lovely original fireplace with cast iron surround which provides an attractive feature. There is an external door for easy access to the garden and front of house.

The Hollies (continued)

* There are additional ancillary rooms to the lower ground floor, interesting historic features and offering plenty of scope for varied uses – cinema room, TV/music room, a good-sized home office, or further storage. There is also a utility room with space and plumbing for white goods and a boot room which leads directly to the garden. * Stairs off the entrance hall lead to the first floor where there are two good-sized double bedrooms and a modern family bathroom with a bath and a rainfall-style shower over. Steps lead to a half landing where there are two further generously proportioned double bedrooms, one with an en-suite with walk-in shower. A useful walk-in cupboard off the landing provides a great space for airing and storage.

The Outside

* The property is situated in an easily accessible location on the Wells Road. There is on road parking and access to the front of the property via a pedestrian gate. To the rear there is a gated driveway and parking, adjacent to the double garages. * A pedestrian gate leads off the pavement, with a slate, brick-edged path leading through the manageable front garden to the covered porch and front door. An established wisteria adorns the front of the property providing seasonally attractive, scented blooms. * The good-sized, mature rear garden offers further scope for keen gardeners. This wraps around the property and is mainly lawned, planted with a variety of established shrubs, trees and flowering plants, with a raised patio area.

The Outside (continued)

* There is a useful garden store and an original external WC, great for when working in the garden. * The property is bounded by mature laurel and conifer hedges, complemented by attractive stone walling.
