2 Valley House

2 Valley House was one of Malvern's original quarry cottages and its history has been traced back as far as 1853. This period marks the start of Malvern's heyday, just before the railway was completed in 1859 to bring visitors to the town from London, and Birmingham. At that time the hills were mostly devoid of trees, and scarred with quarries. Today this means the property is beautifully situated just above Great Malvern town centre and on a range of footpaths which lead directly to the top of the hills and is just 3 minutes away from the famous St Anns Well. Despite its position so close to town centre and Malvern Theatres, with the trees slowly encroaching back up the hills the property feels secluded and special, away from the hustle and bustle of town life.
