PROPERTY IN BRIEF

Ginger are delighted to present this spacious four bedroom semi-detached family home located on Malvern Road, being in a central village location and super-convenient to the local schools, shops and amenities, which is perfect for a family and commuting to work. As well as the village centre, there is Berkswell train station, excellent road, rail and air connectivity, as well as having all the things you expect from a village, with local parks country walks and a real sense of community spirit here.

These properties on Malvern Rd are well known for their generous accommodation, and also larger rear gardens and plenty of space in the front. This home boasts generous off-road parking to the front with garden, and that all- important extensive south-facing rear garden.

Inside, the property offers generous living accommodation with a large through lounge/ diner with sliding patio doors out to the patio, a spacious extended kitchen with breakfast bar and additional storage, and a good sized hallway with handy cloaks cupboard.

Upstairs, the bedrooms certainly don't disappoint, with two really generous double bedrooms, a smaller double bedroom, and a single. The family bathroom offers a bath with a shower over and an airing cupboard.

One of the key points to these properties, is the ability to easily extend into the loft space subject to correct permissions, with the staircase ideally located to continue it up without disturbing the layout of the first floor. This has been done to many of the local properties.

Outside, the garden is private and peaceful, south-facing and working really well for a relaxing haven or family garden, with off-road parking and garden to the front as well as an integral garage.

This property has been well-maintained, but does require upgrading, priced accordingly, yet offers the perfect opportunity to make this home your own and grow the size if need be.


APPROACH

Welcome to Malvern Rd, the property is located within a peaceful, popular residential spot within an easy walking distance to the village schools, shops and amenities, all easily in reach.

The frontage of the property offers a generous Tarmac drive with access into the garage, and running parallel is a well tendered landscaped front garden with grass and planted borders. We always love a storm porch, which is great for escaping the rain when trying to get the key into the door, and there is a gate leading round to the rear garden.


LIVING ACCOMMODATION

Welcome inside this super spacious family home. Greeted by a traditional style front door with lead glazed inserts which is a real nice feature, as well as additional leaf patterned windows to the side to bring in plenty of natural light to the hallway.

The hallway is a lovely size and as you step in you can gaze all the way through the kitchen into the long extensive south-facing garden. The hallway has stairs leading up to the bedrooms and family bathroom, as well as a useful storage cupboard for coats and shoes, and the ideal spot for a console table. The hallway give access to the kitchen and also through to the lounge/diner.

As you have your tour of this property, you will appreciate the generous living and sleeping accommodation with the period design of this home. The lounge/dining area is no exception and originally would’ve had a separate door off the hallway, however the layout currently works really well. If needing two separate reception rooms it would be easy to patrician off.

First of all the living area is located to the front of the space, featuring a large bay window, which adds extra floor space as well as abundance of natural light and view into the delightful fore-garden. The living room will easily accommodate larger living furniture, media centre etcetera, and having a feature brick fire surround with electric coal-effect fire set within. This whole area is bright with neutral presentation and feature dado rail and having a combination of wall and ceiling units around these two rooms.

The dining area is also generous, easily accommodating a larger family or formal dining table, boasting a delightful view through the sliding patio doors into the south-facing rear garden. This really is a great family space when socialising or entertaining, this open space really works well leading through into the rear garden. This is ideal for parties and hosting a larger family gathering.

The extended kitchen/breakfast is a really nice space, particularly with that delightful view into the south-facing garden. The kitchen offers a good compliment of wall and base units, with contrasting work-surface space which easily accommodates an abundance of small cooking appliances. The kitchen offers a one and a half sink and drainer, and having space for a cooker and under-counter plumbing etcetera for your dishwasher and washing machine. We like the traditional hatch that opens out into the dining space next door which is great for passing meals through to the kids at dinner time, as well as having a handy pantry cupboard and space for a fridge with a window to the side. The kitchen has a door which takes you to the side passageway to reach the garage and round to the rear garden.


BEDROOMS & BATHROOM

Welcome upstairs. One of the key interests in these properties is the ability to convert the loft into additional bedroom and en-suite accommodation, subject to the correct permissions. However, with the stairs situated in the centre of the house it does mean that you can continue the staircase into the loft area without disturbing the current landing layout which makes this a really easy adaption to make without disturbing too much of the current layout. The landing is bright and airy with a large window positioned over the stairs to ensure plenty of natural light floods through the upstairs, giving access to all four bedrooms, family bathroom, and loft hatch.

The main bedroom is located at the front of the house and delivers a superb floor space which is what these properties are known for. The bedroom features a large bay window delivering an abundance of natural light, as well as a view out into the peaceful street and fore-garden. There are built-in wardrobes engineered around the chimney breast with sliding doors, however, you may choose to adapt these, but they do provide excellent storage, whilst the remainder of the floor area offers an abundance of floor space for larger bedroom furniture. In addition to this, the home has a number of traditional features, with the bedroom having a picture rail around, and we particularly love the traditional style radiator.

The second bedroom is set to the rear of the house, again, a superb sized double room, boasting the most delightful view of the south-facing rear garden through the large double glazed window. This is a lovely bright space, being neutrally presented with dado rail around and central heating as well and providing really generous floor space, ideal for the younger member of the family to have plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space, and even room for their homework/gaming desk.

The third bedroom is set to the front of the house, again, another bright space with a window looking into the front garden, and a further small window to the rear, to ensure dual aspect light. The design of these houses means this room overhangs, which delivers a little extra floor space. This room if needed would easily accommodate a double bed, however, is a really spacious single, perfect for a bed, wardrobes and desk.

Bedroom number four is a good sized single bedroom, light and airy and flexible weather needing as a spare room, guests room, or a home office, this room works exceptionally well.

Another feature to this age of house, is the large family bathroom, having twin windows to the rear elevation, whilst providing a bath with a mains-fed shower over accompanied by glass shower screen, a traditional-style pedestal wash basin and WC. The bathroom has an airing cupboard which has recently been treated to a Worcester boiler yet still providing space for towels and linen.

OUTSIDE SPACES

A key feature is the large and south-facing rear garden. This address is known for generous sized properties and generous gardens and this home certainly does not disappoint.

The garden can be accessed from the dining area with sliding patio doors or from the side door in the kitchen. The side of the house gives access to the garage with the gate to the front driveway, to bring out your bins and garden rubbish where the slabs walk around to the rear garden.

The patio stretches the full width of the property, which is the ideal spot for your outdoor dining furniture, sun loungers and barbecue, having well-established rocky borders and shrubs and plants around the patio area, and then opening out into the lawn area which stretches quite a distance back. This garden is absolutely superb for a family, a private space, lovely landscaped, and providing a haven for the family dog and a safe place for the kids to run free. As you take a wander up the garden, there is an ideal spot towards the rear for a nice outdoor breakfast/coffee table and to the far end is a shed and small patio area. There’s also an outdoor tap for watering the garden.

GARAGE

The garage is a handy store space having barn- style split sized doors to the front of the axis, as well as a rear personnel door leading to the garden. The garage has power and lighting, as well as being home to the modern electric consumer unit and the gas meter.
