DESCRIPTION
Numbers 7 and 9 Galahad Way are a pair of 1950's former Police Houses to be sold together as one Lot by Public Auction under instructions from Worcestershire County Council. The properties have most recently served as a Day Care Centre for the Headway Charity and have been in that use for the past twenty or so years.Although requiring minor adaption plus complete refurbishment by modern tastes, suffice to say that the general build quality would be inherently good, as has forever been the case with ex-Public Sector buildings of this age ; such examples being renowned for solid and often over- engineered traditional construction!Similar properties along Galahad Way rarely come for sale and are extremely sought after indeed, as will be well revealed by a simple Land Registry based internet search which will also include the most recent sales price history, making for encouraging reading! In other words 7 and 9 Galahad Way could be well described as far from typical \"three bedroom semis\" and the other important distinguishing factor which feeds in to that are the large south facing level gardens which add a great degree of character and further desirability.Aside from just development of the properties themselves, the gardens could also, no doubt, be improved to try and better exploit an elevated vista over the Severn Valley beyond, as will be appreciated by standing at the bottom of the gardens. From here there is a nice aspect down to the River Severn itself, its adjoining meadows and beyond. From within the properties at the first floor, there is also an oblique view to Stagborough, looking right. Please see the additional photographs.Similar properties with this degree of potential and amenity, in Stourport, would be very difficult to find and yet here is the unique opportunity to purchase two together which, in the right hands and contemporised, could be very special indeed!Save for the outside areas, the properties shall now be described individually, the only nuance being the large conservatory which currently straddles both houses - this being 9.95m/32ft across with a max depth of 4.70m/15ft - see floor plan.
