For those who enjoy the outdoor life or simply walking the dog the property is less than five minutes on foot from Malvern Link common and is also close to the network of paths and bridleways that criss-cross the Malvern Hills.
Elbury House is situated in Hornyold Road, one of the towns most favoured residential streets with a mix of classic period houses and impressive contemporary homes. The property itself is a striking end of terrace Victorian house which has been renovated and refurbished in recent years but still retains much of its original architecture and a number of period features, notably fireplaces, high ceilings, feature cornicing and skirting boards. The house is now fully double glazed and has been decorated throughout. Externally the house retains its impressive Victorian facade, its attractive blend of stone and brickwork and distinctive central tower. The property stands in a small well thought out, low maintenance garden which to the rear consists of a sheltered walled courtyard and seating area and to the front provides off road parking for at least three vehicles and a mature attractively landscaped area from which one can enjoy a lovely view of the hills.
The extremely generous accommodation is on three floors. At ground level a porch opens into an attractive reception hall off which there are three reception rooms, a fitted kitchen/breakfast room, a utility room and WC. On the first floor a long landing leads to four bedrooms, two of which are currently linked and off which there is an en-suite bathroom. Also at this level is a second bathroom and separate shower room. The top floor adds a further dimension to the house. Here there are two bedrooms and another bathroom making it an ideal suite for guests as well as being perfect for teenagers who may wish to entertain friends.
