Guarlford Road, Barnards Green, Malvern, WR14

*SOUTH-FACING* Impressive family home (2,218 sq. ft) with 4/5 bedrooms, open plan kitchen/dining, wide living area, sitting room, TV snug, utility, cloakroom, garage, driveway parking, enclosed lawned gardens, terrace, wooden gazebo, with views of the Malvern Hills.

No. 44, with the happiest feel, can be found quietly set back on a large plot just off the Guarlford Road next to the popular Bluebell Inn and within walking distance of Barnards Green, Malvern. It is also highly energy efficient aided by sixteen recently added solar panels; it scored the highest EPC rating of 98% with the potential of 100%!

Works have been carried out and include opening up the living area, installing bi-fold doors and the sitting room bay window, new electrics, new Worcester Bosch boiler (2015), updated central heating, plumbing, and re-decorated throughout.

It's the downstairs living that really sets this house apart. Modern open plan layout, generous room proportions, capacious entrance hall with vaulted ceilings and Scandinavian design staircase. It really welcomes you in!

A two-tone kitchen is well laid out with all the usual suspects including a breakfast bar, double electric oven, induction hob (protected by a cover as the children have dropped pans on it), dishwasher, large fridge freezer, plenty of cupboard storage and an expanse of white quartz worktops.

The owners also added the utility room where you will find a washing machine, tumble dryer and the now regularly serviced Worcester Bosch boiler. Doors lead to either the terrace or garage.

Just off the living area is a useful TV/Snug. If you have young children this could also be a playroom or a relaxing space for teenagers whilst the adults enjoy the serenity of the adjacent sitting room; it's close but feels a room you can call your own!

Up the modern, light staircase you will find three good sized double bedrooms and one single bedroom; it is extra long at 18'3 with a handy space to install a walk-in wardrobe or a fitted desk for your teenager to study at. The main bedroom, with garden views, has a new en suite shower room and a wall of fitted wardrobes.

The family bathroom includes a bath and enclosed shower to please everyone.

Bedroom 5 on the ground floor, previously used as an office/study, is now a coat and boot room but could be easily be turned into an extra bedroom for a larger family or for a teenager wanting their own space.

On the landing is an airing cupboard and deep wardrobe...always useful! I am advised that the loft is plentiful. Head height is restricted but it is also a handy storage area.

The neighbours on both sides are extremely pleasant which is always good to know.

The owners have loved living here for the last eleven years and are only moving to be nearer to family in Cambridge.

OUTSIDE

The garden is extensive, flat and a brilliant space to entertain friends and family; I hear you all breathe a sigh of relief. It is also perfect for children and grandchildren to kick a ball about as well as sit on the raised seating area and gaze at the majestic Malvern Hills.

The owners have built a wooden gazebo, installed a hot tub and paved the rear terrace. To the side of the house is a handy covered space to store family push bikes, ladders, tools etc.

There is a single garage that the owners currently have kitted out as a gym, with lighting and power.

For those that own dogs it is a heavenly spot. The garden is enclosed and both dog proof and child friendly with a new side fence. Dog walks in every direction to enjoy too!

The driveway, surrounded by mature borders, has been tastefully block paved with parking for at least five cars. The front of the house is attractive surrounded by common land, trees and grass. It really is a pretty setting!

All mains services including gas, electricity, BT, water and drainage are connected to the property and internet is strong.
