Property Description

Evermore is a superb detached house full of character and charm, occupying a lovely sheltered setting in a mature private garden in one of Malvern’s premier residential locations. The current owners have completely remodelled and refurbished throughout taking it back to its bare bones, adding extensions to the front, side and rear, creating a distinctive and meticulously presented home full of quality craftsmanship, offering a stunning blend of historic charm and contemporary luxury. The property is set over approximately 1787 sq.ft and enjoys plenty of natural light and breathtaking views towards the Malvern Hills.

One of the key selling points of this lovely home is the adjacent annex, currently used as independent accommodation for an elderly relative but would also be ideal as a guest bedroom suite or a home office. A wonderfully versatile space, the annex would be perfectly suited to an Airbnb or a consulting suite for those practising from home or operating a business (subject to the relative planning permission being obtained). When built the foundations of the annex were constructed to accommodate a second floor, should additional accommodation be required at a future date (subject to the relative planning permission being obtained).

The property is set back privately from the road behind wrought iron fencing with a hedged perimeter and double wooden gates which open to the recently landscaped foregarden which also has planning permission to be converted into a driveway (planning reference M/23/00533/hp). A pathway leads through the lawned sections with mature planted borders providing colour and maturity throughout the year.

The path continues and leads to a patio area at the front of the property which is strategically positioned to enjoy the afternoon sun and fine views towards the Malvern Hills with both south and west facing aspects. The foregarden is home to an array of planted shrubs and flowers with quince and crab apple trees and a hedged perimeter providing an ideal private setting.
