Porch House is a stunning and truly versatile home offering 2,227 sq ft of beautifully designed living space, formed from a former church (1836) and tastefully converted in 2002. The conversion was so exceptional that it received a plaque for Best Conversion in Malvern that year with the roof entirely rebuilt using the original slates and coping stones.

The magic of this remarkable property lies in the seamless blend of historic architectural features with contemporary design. Sensitively preserved elements include the dramatic stone arched windows, soaring ceilings, corbels, exposed stonework and limestone flooring, all complemented by a clean, modern aesthetic.

Flooded with natural light throughout, the home benefits from a striking oak staircase and large skylights which enhance both the sense of space and the uplifting atmosphere. The innovative layout includes a mezzanine level and maximises the unique proportions of the building, while the impressive lancet windows span two floors and frame views towards the Malvern Hills - making this an inspiring setting for both living and working from home.

ACCOMMODATION

The entrance hall is grand and welcoming, leading to a generous double bedroom with an original stone window enjoying east-facing views over the side patio garden together with a smart en-suite bathroom. Also on the ground floor are a useful utility room and a separate storage room ideal for bicycles and outdoor equipment.

Stairs rise to the spectacular first-floor open-plan kitchen, dining and living space. The fully fitted kitchen features a comprehensive range of high-quality Neff appliances including two ovens, coffee machine, wine cooler, Quooker tap, large central island and extensive storage. Floor-to-ceiling glazing to the front elevation floods the space with light while maintaining privacy and providing picturesque views.

Electric underfloor heating adds warmth and comfort and the open-plan layout creates a perfect environment for entertaining and social gatherings. From the living area there is access onto the roof of the porch currently used for growing tomatoes, edible plants, bulbs and ferns. Contemporary light fittings feature throughout the living room, landing and principal bedroom.

Further stairs lead to an upper landing showcasing original timber beams, exposed stonework and a west-facing skylight framing views towards the Hills.

The principal bedroom is an impressive 23-foot room with vaulted ceilings, original beams, plentiful natural light and beautiful outlooks. A staircase leads to a highly versatile mezzanine level - ideal as a home office or studio - with its own walk-in storage cupboard and unique windows capturing views of the Malvern Hills.

Bedroom two also enjoys original beams and built-in wardrobes with light drawn in from the skylight over the landing. Currently used as a home office it would comfortably accommodate a king-size bed and is served by a sleek contemporary walk-in shower room.

OUTSIDE

To the front of the property are two allocated parking spaces and a magnificent original yew tree enclosed by box hedging, complemented by seasonal planting including hyacinths, daffodils and bluebells in spring, and foxgloves during the summer months. A second yew tree sits at the far end of the frontage, with steps leading up and space for planting boxes adjacent to the second parking space.

An EO electric vehicle charging point has been installed, offering a sleek and practical addition for modern living. To the east side of the house, steps descend to a private patio area - a peaceful spot for outdoor dining and relaxation.

Porch House is an eclectic, charismatic and exceptionally rare home, offering dramatic architecture, light-filled living and glorious surroundings.
