Location & Description

The property enjoys a convenient position approximately two miles from the centre of Great Malvern where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium.

The recently opened Malvern Vale primary school and Dyson Perrins secondary are both only a few minutes away on foot. The town has a deserved reputation for the quality of its schools and there are further choices in both the private and state sectors and at primary and secondary levels throughout the area. Transport communications are excellent. There is a regular bus service that goes past the property and two mainline railway stations in Great Malvern and Malvern Link providing direct links to The Midlands, The South West and London Paddington. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is only seven miles away.

The current owners of The Homestead have obtained outline planning permission for the erection of two executive detached houses within the grounds of the existing property which in itself requires complete refurbishment and updating. This is an excellent opportunity for a builder, developer or private individual to make use of what is a wonderful location and generous plot. Further details of the outline planning application and approval can be found on the Malvern Hills District Council Planning website using the Application No. M/22/00452/OUT The Homestead itself is believed to date back to the late Victorian era. It comprises a traditional two storey detached home with an externally accessed basement cellar. It offers enormous scope for redevelopment and refurbishment. Currently there is within the property's curtilage extensive off road parking, a large Glasshouse and a substantial brick built workshop/double garage, some of which may need to be removed to allow for the additional dwellings.
