With two bedrooms to the ground floor and one to the first floor, the property offers enormous versatility. Westdale is in a stunning location, high on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills, a short walk from the Sugar Loaf on the ridge of the hills, and an even shorter walk to the renowned local inn, The Brewer’s Arms. West Malvern is a highly sought-after location on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills, with a local primary school, public house and church, with many more amenities, including two railway stations, the renowned theatres, Post Office, independent retailers, a retail park and a Waitrose supermarket in Great Malvern.

The village of Colwall is three miles away and the charming market town of Ledbury, home to the annual Poetry Festival, is just 9 miles away, both with rail links to Hereford and Worcester, and to Birmingham New Street and London Paddington.

Set within the Malvern Hills National Landscape, formerly known as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, walks and rides are just moments from the house and the land adjacent to the property is under the stewardship of the Malvern Hills Trust.

Main line railway stations are available in Colwall, in Malvern Link and in Great Malvern, all less than 3 miles away.

The Property

A part-glazed front door, flanked by tall windows for added light, opens into the generously proportioned central entrance hall, with space for bookcases along the walls, and doors to the two reception rooms either side.

To the right is the sitting room, with windows to the south and the west, the former offering views over the common and the latter being a bay window, to maximise the views across the county. A wood-burning stove on a stone plinth sits ready for colder days.

A lovely, old, stripped pine door opens into the dining room, which has exposed floorboards, an open tread oak staircase to the first floor, and a bay window offering beautiful views across Herefordshire.

The kitchen has a dark slate-tiled floor, beautifully offset by the clean white base units, natural woodblock work surfaces with breakfast bar and mosaic-style splashbacks. The stainless-steel Bosch gas hob sits above the electric double oven; there is space and plumbing for a dishwasher. The sink, with one and a half-bowls and adjacent drainer, looks out to the common land.

A door leads through to the rear hallway, with part-glazed door, quarry tile floor, and on into the utility room, lit from above by a skylight. The utility room houses a Worcester Bosch boiler, has space and plumbing for white goods, as well as useful storage space in the tall, fitted cupboards.

The shower room is spacious, with a large walk-in shower enclosure with marble-effect shower panels, pedestal basin with mixer tap, and WC. A skylight provides natural light and there is a chrome ladder heated towel radiator. The room has space and scope for a bath to replace the shower in the future, if preferred.

There are two ground floor bedrooms, one currently used as a study, overlooking the sheltered rear terrace. The other bedroom, contained within an extension to the original house, has a skylight in the 3-metre high ceiling and French doors out to the rear terrace.

The first-floor bedroom features a dormer window with space for a chair to take in the far-reaching views to the west. The room is further lit by a skylight. There is a wealth of storage into the eaves and an en-suite with WC and small wash basin off this well-proportioned master bedroom.

Outside

A metal gate beside the detached, single garage opens to the steps, planted with low-growing shrubs, leading up to the main terrace. The garage, which has light and power, is of concrete block construction, with a felt roof, concrete floor and there is space to park a car in front of the wood, double doors. The terrace, with an acer, box bush, and space for pots and planters, provides a low-maintenance outdoor space from which to enjoy the fantastic views to the west: It is a perfect spot for a ‘sundowner’. Shrubs are growing on the Malvern Stone wall, next to the traditional brick path, separating the garden from the Trust-maintained land just beyond. A small, sheltered rear terrace is accessed from the second bedroom and makes a private courtyard retreat.
