Location & Description
The property enjoys an excellent location approached across common land about a quarter of a mile from the well served and popular neighbourhood of Barnards Green where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including a supermarket, shops, takeaways and pubs. The larger and historic and cultural town of Great Malvern is less than a mile distant. Here there is an even wider selection of shops, banks, a Waitrose supermarket and the renowned theatre and cinema complex.

Educational facilities are second to none. The property falls within the catchment area of the highly regarded Chase Secondary School which is only about half a mile away. For those seeking the private sector both Malvern College and Malvern St James schools are less than a mile away.

Transport communications are good. There are regular bus services running in the area. Great Malvern Railway Station is less than half a mile away. Junction 1 of the M50 at Upton upon Severn and Junction 7 of the M5 at Worcester are both within easy striking distance.


91 Guarlford Road enjoys a lovely approach across common land. This leads, via a shared gated entrance, into the much larger than average mature colourful garden which provides a very private setting.

Originally built in the 1920's the property, though well maintained, does now present a great opportunity for buyers to embark on a project of updating and refurbishment.

The generous accommodation (1600 sq. ft.) is arranged on two floors and is approached via a good sized open plan reception hall which leads to a dining room, sitting room, lounge, kitchen and a shower/cloakroom on the the ground floor. At first floor level an open plan landing leads to four good sized bedrooms and to a bathroom with WC. The house has gas fired central heating, although it is likely that the boiler will need replacing.

Within the curtilage there is a large timber workshop/garage as well as a number of smaller storage sheds, a greenhouse and additional private parking.

Outside
The house is approached across a shared (with the neighbouring property number 93) driveway which passes through a gated entrance to the rear of both numbers 91 and 93 Guarlford Road. After passing the two houses the driveway then splits to serve each property individually. In the case of number 91 it provides additional parking for several vehicles and leads to a large WORKSHOP/GARAGE (19'9 x 12'8) of timber construction with double entrance doors, windows and power.

The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with a gravelled pathway leading to the front door and a mixture of mature and colourful roses, shrubs, borders, several small trees and boundary hedging to add privacy. The side elevation of the house supports a mature rambling rose and a well established vine.

The very large rear garden provides a lovely sunny private setting. It consists of a large paved seating area, lawns, mature shrubs of every description, well established and interesting trees (including a fine magnolia), herbaceous borders, a former kitchen garden and a small orchard with several mature apple trees. At strategic points throughout the garden are a number of small outbuildings including a GREENHOUSE and two stores both of timber construction. At the far end of the orchard is an open bay store. From strategic points in the garden there are views towards the Malvern Hills in the west.

Directions
From the centre of Great Malvern proceed down Church Street into Barnards Green Road passing Malvern St James School and Sports Centre which are on each side of the road. After a short distance you will come to a large island in Barnards Green. Take the third exit continuing along Barnards Green Road leaving the commercial centre. After a few hundred yards you will pass the Bluebell Inn on your right hand side. Continue out of the 30 mph limit and into the 40 mph zone with common land on both sides of the road. After a short distance you will notice a left hand fork into Hall Green. Ignore this turn and continue out of the 40 mph restriction. Look out for the fourth driveway on the left which serves both numbers 91 and 93 Guarlford Road. Viewers are advised to park on the cut grass on the common rather than passing along the driveway or through the gates.
