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.
