The Property

10 Cowleigh Bank is a deceptively spacious period semi-detached residence, occupying a pleasant position in a highly regarded and much sought after residential area. Offering generously proportioned and versatile accommodation arranged over two floors, the property retains a number of attractive period features and presents an exciting opportunity for purchasers seeking a home they can modernise and improve to their own tastes and requirements.

Whilst the property would benefit from a programme of renovation and updating, its generous proportions, flexible layout and potential for reconfiguration offer considerable scope to create a wonderful family home in this desirable location.

The property is approached through double wrought iron gates, set between brick pillars, which open onto a driveway providing off road parking for a vehicle. Set back from the road behind a foregarden, enclosed by mature hedging and an attractive Malvern stone wall.

An entrance porch, with a further timber and glazed door, opens into the Entrance Hall, where a staircase rises to the first floor and access is provided to the first of two ground floor cloakrooms.

Positioned to the front of the house, the Sitting Room is an attractive reception room featuring a bay window which provides plenty of natural light, together with a characterful fireplace incorporating a cast iron grate.

To the rear of the property, the accommodation offers particularly interesting possibilities for improvement. An existing walk in larder, which is yet to be refurbished, adjoins the Dining Room and presents potential, subject to any necessary consents and structural considerations, to be incorporated into a reconfigured kitchen and dining space. This could create a spacious, open plan kitchen, dining and family area, ideally suited to modern day living. The Dining Room itself retains a feature fireplace with alcoves to either side.

Leading from the kitchen is the Garden Room, providing a useful connection between the house and garden, with internal access to a Utility Room and a second Cloakroom.

A particular feature of the accommodation is the additional Reception Room, a generously proportioned, dual aspect space enjoying easterly views across the Severn Valley and a southerly outlook over the garden. A woodburning stove, set within the fireplace, provides an attractive focal point. Partition walls have been introduced to create a separate Study Area, although these could potentially be removed to reinstate one larger reception room, further demonstrating the flexibility of the accommodation.

First Floor

The first floor offers three generously sized double bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for family living. One bedroom benefits from a dual aspect, whilst another features fitted wardrobes with additional storage cupboards above, neatly incorporated into the chimney breast alcoves.

The bedrooms are served by a well proportioned Family Bathroom, which also incorporates a useful airing cupboard.

As with the ground floor, the first floor accommodation offers scope for cosmetic improvement and personalisation, allowing purchasers to create a home tailored to their individual needs.

Outside

The gardens provide an attractive setting for the property and offer further opportunities for landscaping and enhancement.

Immediately adjoining the house is a block paved seating terrace with an ornamental pond, providing a pleasant space for outdoor relaxation and entertaining. Beyond this, the garden is principally laid to lawn, interspersed with established planting beds and specimen trees which add interest and maturity.

The garden is enclosed by a combination of hedging and fencing, creating a defined and private outdoor space.

Additional features include a useful attached store with a pitched roof, an external light point and a gated area providing access to wood storage. A further door leads through to the driveway.

Summary

10 Cowleigh Bank represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a substantial period home with character, generous room proportions and adaptable accommodation. Although requiring renovation and modernisation, the property offers considerable potential to create an impressive and individual family residence, complemented by established gardens, attractive views and a sought after location.
