Property description
EstatesDirect.com are delighted to bring to the market this rarely available majestic jewel, Repton House, nestled in the heart of the picturesque spa town of Malvern. The health giving properties of Malvern water are renowned and the beauty of the surrounding hills and countryside have always attracted people keen to put down roots in this idyllic town.
This beautiful Grade II listed, stucco fronted, fine Georgian family home has been in the same family for the last 28 years and is relatively untouched, providing a perfect canvas for the next family to create the perfect home.
It retains many original features including enviably tall ceilings, original working fire places, large, airy rooms, elegant large sash windows and sits on a generous plot with lovely garden to 3 sides and its own circular driveway.
Being in the heart of this desirable, peaceful town, Repton House is conveniently located for Waitrose, the high street, both Malvern train stations, Malvern college private school, many other notable schools and is within easy access to the M5, Cheltenham, approx. 2 hours 16 minutes from Heathrow airport and approx. 54 minutes from Birmingham airport. Viewing strongly recommended. Ideal family home or investment opportunity.
The house is approached via a circular driveway and there are steps outside leading up to the front door and into the large entrance hall, from which access can be gained to the library and study opposite. There is a downstairs bedroom and bathroom (that were originally the kitchen), next to the downstairs bedroom there is a cloakroom and these rooms are accessed via an arched hallway. Moving to the back of the house is the kitchen and door leading to the back garden and opposite the kitchen is the snug, leading to the grand drawing room with large, elegant bay windows overlooking the front garden.
The stair case leads up to the first floor where there are 6 bedrooms, with a beautiful, grand 21ft room which is currently known as The Georgian Room and is used as a sitting room but could be the master bedroom with spectacular, unparalleled views to Stow on the Wold, open fields and the surrounding countryside of Malvern towards Gloucester. The current master bedroom has bay sash windows and panoramic views to the front. Next to this room is a large bathroom (which could be used as an en suite bathroom). There are a further 4 large bedrooms upstairs, one with a walk in dressing room, and a family bathroom.
The rooms are extremely well-proportioned, all with sash windows letting in copious amounts of light and from the two rear bedrooms, there are superb views of the Malvern Hills above. There is a large hallway and on the landing there is a large sash window allowing light to flood in.
There is a very large cellar with 4 separate rooms, unmeasured but easily able to walk in and providing excellent space for storage!
With a little foresight and passion, this property could be restored and renovated to make a most charming and elegant family home. The setting is enviable and central, it is one of few remaining complete, period houses on Graham Road, with a large, mature and well-loved garden surrounding it on 3 sides, and the house is linked in one small area to the left adjoining a replica property built at the same time.
The garden is delightful, with pathways, arched rose walks, a tastefully decked area and perfect private sun trap and a green house in the far corner of the garden. There are rose bushes, camellia's, magnolia trees, Nerine's and a plethora of trees and shrubs as befits a house of this standing.
