Guarlford Road, Malvern

A unique opportunity to purchase this characterful semi detached house, pre 1900, with what was originally a Forge, which has been in the same family for over 100 years.

In brief, the accommodation in the house comprises: Breakfast kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, cellar and two bedrooms with a third room on the 1st floor either as an office or occasional bedroom. The rear gardens are level and generous, with the plot totalling about 0.23acre. Currently there is fencing between the house and the gardens to the rear of the Forge, but the gardens are all on included.

Outside - To the immediate side and front of the house are level lawns and walkways and cast iron fencing and gate to the common. The rear garden has been beautifully planted over the years, but now needs a little bit of an overhaul. It is divided from the Forge with a fence, but the whole plot is being sold as one. The views up to the Hills are fabulous and there are just fields to the rear.
The garden to the side and rear of the workshops is approached via a path to the generous rear garden, which currently has a fence separating the rear from number 74's garden. It is level and essentially laid to lawn with access to the rear and offering views to the Hills. The walkway continues down to the bottom of the garden and there is a central hedge running part way down.
