Description

Ravenscroft is wonderfully positioned detached four bedroomed bungalow situated within this outstanding location affording fine views of the Malvern Hills and to the rear over open countryside.  Views down the south west valley towards Mathon are also enjoyed.  
 
One of the key selling points of this property is its generous grounds which wrap around the property and extend to approximately 0.4 acres of enclosed gardens and from all aspects the wonderful views can be enjoyed.  This is a particularly peaceful and tranquil area allowing easy access into Great Malvern itself and also up onto the hills via a network of footpaths and bridleways which crisscross the local area. 
 
The property is approached via a gated driveway opening to allow ample parking for vehicles to the front of the property and continuing to the side where there is access to the detached single garage.  From the driveway a step leads up to the obscured double glazed front door opening to the living accommodation which is generous in proportions having been extended in the past and offering versatile and flexible accommodation all on a single storey.  The living accommodation is in excess of 1350 sq. ft. benefitting from double glazing and gas central heating and designed around the splendid views on offer with each room enjoying its own unique vistas. 
 
The living accommodation is initially approached via the Vestibule where a wooden floor flows through the the obscured glazed door with matching side panels to the welcoming Entrance Hall.
 
The Living Room is a triple aspect room flooded with natural light from the large picture window framing the view up to the Malvern Hills and the Worcestershire Beacon.  This is an open plan living space with doorway to kitchen and further double doors open through into the Sitting Room which in turn is a flexible and versatile space with dual aspect windows and views. 
 
Fitted with a range of modern units the breakfast kitchen offers plenty of storage space with a large larder cupboard with folding doors and shelving.  There are additional generous storage cupboards and from the kitchen doors open to either side to the side patio.  A double glazed window under which the sink is positioned enjoys the splendid views over the neighbouring farmland.  
 
The triple aspect Master Bedroom is a generous double accessed from the sitting room with not only views down the valley towards Mathon and beyond but also over the open farmland and towards the hills themselves.  This room is serviced and complimented by its own En-Suite Shower Room.
 
Accessed from the Entrance Hall the Second Double Bedroom enjoys a dressing area with fitted wardrobes and an ensuite toilet.  Completing the accommodation is a further Double Bedroom with open views to the rear and a smaller Single Bedroom currently set up by the owners as a home office.  These two rooms are serviced and complimented by the main bathroom fitted with a three piece white suite with shower over the bath and shelved airing cupboard housing the wall mounted boiler.   

Outside

The beautiful established gardens wrap around the property to all sides and afford wonderful views to all aspects.  The garden is entirely enclosed by mature hedges along with a traditional hand made chestnut fence which borders the neighbouring pasture to the rear.  The wildlife friendly garden is designed for low maintenance and includes a greenhouse, vegetable beds, fruit trees, a dedicated composting area, ornamental trees and an established perennial wildflower meadow.  A formal garden across the front of the house includes a paved patio with steps leading down to a small pond.  A second raised seating terrace lies to the rear and allows the opportunity to enjoy westerly sunsets across the open fields.  
 
Under the left hand side of the property is a large WORKSHOP/STORE (12'3 x 14'8) with light and power and double doors, excellent for storage of garden materials or as a useful workshop.  
 
To the right hand side of the property the driveway continues allowing further parking accessing a detached GARAGE (18'4 x 9'4 ) with up and over door.  To the right hand side of the garage is a further lawned area with GREENHOUSE.
 
Across the back property is a further raised seating terrace where the westerly sunsets can be enjoyed across the open farmland.  All in all this is an idyllic setting, a quiet and tranquil area where bird song can be heard throughout the day.
