Location

Colwall is a very popular and sought after village situated at the foot of the western slopes of the Malvern Hills and offers a good range of local facilities including shops, post office and pharmacy, schools, a doctor's surgery, churches, hotel and public houses. There is a regular bus service to Ledbury (approximately 4 miles) and Great Malvern (approximately 2 miles). Colwall also has the benefit of a mainline railway with direct services to Birmingham New Street, Oxford and London Paddington.

Description

1 The Way is an exceptionally well presented semi-detached 1920's ''Arts and Crafts'' style property with a rich history. The property was built by W. James Builders and Contractors who were based in Upper Colwall. They had a good local reputation for using top quality materials and producing excellent buildings. The house still retains many original architectural features, of which the central oak and elm staircase is arguably the most eye-catching. For many years 1 The Way, and the adjoining property, were occupied by two close friends with religious leanings. By repute, a room within the building was previously used as a shared chapel with independent access from both houses. This is marked by a religious plaque located on the rear exterior wall to celebrate their faith.

The property currently comprises WC, dining hall, living room, kitchen, utility with adjoining larder, four bedrooms, separate toilet and bathroom.

The house is set back from the road behind a lawned fore-garden with lovely fruit trees and views towards the Malvern Hills. The driveway provides ample off road parking for at least three vehicles and provides access to the garage.
