Como Road, Great Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14 2HS

The Hollies is a grand and impressive period home situated on one of the finest roads in Great Malvern. Handsome, imposing, four/five bedrooms, two reception rooms, original features, tranquil, level garden, and super views of the Malvern Hills.

Dating back over 150 years this elegant, rarely available semi-detached house retains much of it's Victorian heritage with original features including ornate fireplaces, high ceilings, elegant sash windows, ceiling cornices, tall skirtings, decorative architraves, and wooden floors.

The owner bought the house for it's capacious accommodation, characterful good looks and amazing central location and has since modernised throughout including a new heating system, updated pipework, added modern cast iron radiators, new carpets, redecorated and fitted high quality wooden shutters.

This much loved family home is set back near the top of Como Road, a premier residential area in Great Malvern, close to the library and only a five minute walk to the local shops, cafes, and the renowned Malvern theatre.

As soon as you open the front door this wonderful house has you at hello! The striking entrance hall with decorative tiles and tall ceilings is exceptional and leaves you keen to explore and find out more...

Take your pick from here; a lovely dual aspect reception room including bay window, stripped wooden flooring and new, top of the range gas log burner, currently arranged as a home office but could be the most stunning sitting room.

Or across the hallway and adjacent to the kitchen is the family/dining room with a toasty and welcoming log burner also overlooking the garden and Malvern Hills

The fitted kitchen is light and bright with a pair of sliding glass doors leading out onto the deck/terrace. A pretty south-facing lawned garden is level, very manageable and enclosed so safe for children and dogs.

The owner has had planning approved for a fantastic orangery with plans available (21/01564/HP) There is a handy downstairs cloakroom just by the entrance with window and glass door letting extra light pour in.

An elegant staircase leads firstly to a double bedroom 4 or home office; it is currently used as a storage room so have chosen not to upload a photo! The main bedroom accommodation can be found on the first floor. it is here you will find the beautiful main bedroom (1) complete with an en suite walk-in shower.

Bedroom 2 has been stylishly redecorated with surrounding views of the Malvern Hills. There is a further bedroom 3, at the top of the house, ideal for teenagers and currently used as a wonderful walk-in wardrobe which will cause a stir among many! This could easily be returned to a double bedroom.

Finally, a private study/office is located on the lower ground floor with two full height cellar rooms making this a great space to secure your belongings, bikes and general paraphernalia. The lower ground floor also offers a great opportunity to convert the study into a utility room and has plumbing ready to install a WC.

Once you see the house you just instinctively begin planning where your furniture will go. It has all the beauty and charm that we expect from a stunning, distinguished Victorian home.

The Hollies has been utterly adored by the current owner who is only moving home to be nearer her family.

OUTSIDE

The garden is fully enclosed and laid mainly to lawn with a large raised terrace/BBQ area. It is south-west facing so captures the sun all day. It is a sun trap and very private.

Off-street parking at the front of the house is aplenty with space for up to six cars. There is really useful access at the rear of the property via a secure, gated courtyard that allows you to conveniently load and unload the car. It also acts as very handy shortcut to the centre of Great Malvern and Waitrose.

All mains services including gas, electricity, water and drainage are connected to the property.
