Situation

There are excellent commuter road, rail and bus links to the larger commercial centres of Malvern, Hereford, Gloucester and Cheltenham.

Bankside House

Built in around 1885, this late Victorian property has been extremely well cared for over the years and presents exceptionally well.
On the ground floor, the entrance hallway offers plenty of room for coats and boots and is large enough to accommodate a small study/office area. A door leads through to a generous sitting room with a feature brick fireplace and a Clearview wood-burning stove. There is a bay window and high ceilings, adding to the sense of space.
Off the sitting room is a door to the dining room, again with a bay window, high ceiling and patio doors leading out onto a covered seating area and the garden beyond.

Bankside House (continued)

There is a good-sized kitchen/breakfast room with a tiled floor, solid wood worktops and ample storage, including a range cooker, Belfast sink and fitted dishwasher. A door off the back of the kitchen leads into a large utility room with a sink, storage units, and space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
A staircase from the sitting room gives access to the first floor, where there are two double bedrooms and a beautiful three-quarter wood-panelled bathroom with a roll-top bath and a separate shower.

The Outside

There is ample off-road private parking on the driveway for several cars, with access at both sides of the house to the generous gardens.
There is a lovely enclosed lawned garden to the rear of the house with flower bed borders and access into the separate annexe.
The annexe has been beautifully designed to provide space for an older relative or child, or to generate a useful income. It offers a double bedroom and an open-plan sitting room/kitchen. There is ample kitchen storage, a fitted fridge, electric oven and hob. It also has its own shower room with a walk-in shower.

The Outside (continued)

At the rear of the annexe is a very useful secure workshop and storeroom, with the remainder of the gardens laid to lawn (incorporating part of the old railway embankment), bounded by mature trees and shrubs, and a fantastic rustic outdoor kitchen/garden room.
