Noticed this is Malvern, could be a great project for someone:

Yes, very nice.
Not a lot of smack-you-in-the-eye original features, but looks pretty untouched. Perhaps no downlighters - I hate those utilitarian things - no engineered floors, no white walls. Windows, chimneys, and from what little we see of the interior it appears to have been decorated in a manner suitable to the house which implies that the owners had the right 'period' instincts.
Or, of course, that it had always been that way and they had no inclination to change it.

As time goes by fewer and fewer unbutchered houses exist.
Fingers crossed for this one.

Shame it is by auction, otherwise I would have been seriously interested.

I used to drive past this daily, Interesting location.

Parking could be more of an issue than indicated and by hillside garden read ' grass covered and not quite a cliff'.

The pictures don't do justice to the views from there.


If I hadn't tried so hard to escape the metropolis that is Malvern (parents are still there) ... I would certainly consider it

At first sight, very nice, with lovely views. A closer look (e.g. the side photo) shows why it is "not for the faint-hearted", and there's no parking yet. Then there's a nasty mention of Japanese Knotweed...

And I don't like the sound of "The remaining garden which is quite substantial is currently inaccessible and consists of hillside". When an estate agent is that blunt, it really must be steep!

It does look *fairly* interesting, although were it the whole building it would be far more so :wink:

The Japanese Knotweed can be eradicated with the right amount of dedication/determination and previously we've taken on a garden with shoulder-height brambles throughout, but the "hillside" aspect would be enough to deter me.

I love an undulating landscape - hated the flatness when we lived in North Essex - and we are on a hillside here with far-reaching views and gently sloping lawns which is lovely, but anything more steep would be a no-no for me who has to do the mowing!

A few years back when we were about to sell our house on the South coast we viewed a lovely period house on the IOW. The EA's blurb referred to 1.5 acres of garden. Imagine our disappointment when we discovered it was made up of steeply inclined overgrown woods that required climbing equipment to access :roll:
