Situation• Malvern is a thriving spa town well positioned for
access to Worcester and the Birmingham conurbation,
with easy access to the motorway network and a
direct mainline train service to London Paddington.
The Malvern Hills, an Area of Outstanding Natural
Beauty, are the dominant feature of the landscape. It
is also a renowned cultural centre with an excellent
theatre and cinema, and has several excellent state
and private schools. Furthermore, Malvern has good
shopping facilities, a Waitrose superstore is in the
town centre and there are a wide range of independent
retailers on a busy high street.
• More comprehensive facilities can be found in the
thriving Cathedral city of Worcester, which caters
for most needs. There are extensive shopping and
recreational facilities including premiership rugby at
Sixways, County cricket in the setting of Worcester
Cathedral and horse racing on the banks of the River
Severn.
• There is excellent schooling nearby from both
the private and state sectors including The Royal
Grammar School and The Kings School in Worcester,
The Malvern Colleges and renowned Prep schools in
Colwall.
• Trains run from both Malvern Stations direct to
Birmingham and London. Motorway access is via
junction 7 of the M5.
For sale freehold • Wycheway House is unique. It commands a truly
spectacular position, straddling the border of
Worcestershire and Herefordshire on the very top of
the Malvern Hills. From nearly 1000 feet above sea
level, it has breathtaking and far reaching views over
seven counties and could claim to have the best views
in England.
• The accommodation extends to nearly
2,500 sq. ft. and is currently arranged as
a three bedroom house on the ground
floor and a self contained two bedroom
apartment on the lower ground floor. The
properties would easily combine to form
one, large four bedroom house.
• There has been a dwelling on the site
since 1897. The original Victorian house
was extensively altered in the 1970’s and
converted into two dwellings.
The current owners acquired the
property in 2006 and set about a
complete remodelling of the building and
transformed it into the house it is today.
• The whole site was razed to the ground
leaving just two perimeter walls which
were on the very edge of the plot. The
house is constructed around a large
steel frame. Running costs are kept to
a minimum through thoughtful use of
renewables, including an air source heat
pump, heat recovery system, underfloor
heating throughout, solar panels and
photovoltaic panels to maximise both
income and efficiency. There is also
rainwater harvesting for the washing
machine, W.C.s and watering the garden.
• The project was nominated for an award by the local building
control office and won the South Worcestershire Award for
building excellence. It was also awarded the prestigious
Malvern Civic Society Award for innovative design and local
heritage. The committee were particularly impressed with the
use of local materials and workmanship, the design and how it
complements the surroundings as well as the forward thinking
eco features.
Garden• The garden provides excellent outdoor entertaining space.
There is a part covered terrace with access from the main
living area at the southern end of the house. There are further
terraces and seating areas, well placed to take advantage of
the views in all directions. The main part of the garden is a level
“infinity lawn” with an ancient and very prominent Yew tree.
There are also shrub and perennial borders providing year
round colour and interest.
• There is a block paved parking and turning area behind
electrically operated gates and two storage sheds.
