Ranelagh Road, Malvern, Worcestershire, WR14

*SMALL DOG WELCOME* No. 6 is a beautiful, contemporary apartment with a south-facing sunny aspect providing a warm, bright, comfortable and attractive living space. Also, the current owners will pay the service charge for 1 year!

2 bedrooms, open plan living room and kitchen, handy cloak room, walk in shower room, sash windows, original features, plenty of storage, communal gardens, private parking for two cars and only a few minutes' walk to both the Malvern Retail Park including Marks & Spencer and the local shops within Malvern Link.

St. Leonard's House is an exclusive development of just six apartments each with an individual layout and all are owner occupiers.

The apartment is utterly charming and exudes elegance offering modern day living with panache and style. The furniture is available to buy (by separate negotiation) if that makes your life easier.

As you enter into the entrance hall of this grand building take your pick from two elegant staircases that lead up to the first floor; No. 6 is privately tucked away, one of only three flats on this level. There is no on above you to clomp about! There is also ample space outside your front door to put a useful shoe cupboard.

It's in the living area (16'4 x 16'4) that you are struck by just what a stunning space this is. Perfectly proportioned, three original wooden sash windows, with original shutters, south-facing with views of the Malvern Hills, decorative fireplace, room for a dining table and two comfortable sofas surrounding a coffee table.

The kitchen includes a large fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, single oven and electric hob. The living area is a great entertaining space and you can really picture family and friends coming over to enjoy this classy flat with you.

Under the staircase is a handy CLOAKROOM with extra storage. I appreciate that two loo's are important to many.

Walk up the stairs past a pretty arched window where you will find bedroom 2 or an ideal home office, a sizeable main bedroom (16'11 x 8'2), with plenty of room for a wardrobe, a dressing table, and a chest of drawers. A good sized white bathroom with a brand new walk-in shower, basin, vanity unit, and loo.

In addition, is a large loft area which provides excellent storage for Christmas decorations, suitcases and general 'stuff' that we all carry around with us! Please note that in 2023 the south-facing elevation was repainted and all three dormer window roofs have had the lead replaced.

The communal gardens both front and rear are exquisite and have been thoughtfully and lovingly planted by the current owners, with an abundance of roses, tulips, daffodils, clematis and more, too numerous to mention, just look at the photos!

The setting is ideal. St Leonard's House is located at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac with no passing traffic. It feels extremely tranquil and you will definitely enjoy the communal garden with lawn, raised beds and seating areas as spring heads our way.

The owners have advised us that they adore their apartment but have now decided to buy a home by the sea.

I believe the apartment really makes an ideal first home, stylish bolt hole for those that love Malvern and all it has to offer, or perhaps as an investment with an estimated gross yield of 5%. There is very little that can be found in the area that is quite as classy!

The neighbours are all owner-occupiers. I can vouch for them all that they are a super group of people and I would live here in an instant!

The retail park is a short walk away where you will find an M&S including food hall, new Cook shop for those that want excellent ready meals, coffee shops, Boots and a large Morrisons supermarket to name but a few.

The Malvern Link Conservation Area is served by many local shops, a regular bus service and the railway station is less than a mile away.
