About this listing
An Elegant Detached Edwardian Residence Enjoying An Elevated Position On The Western Slopes Of The Malvern Hills With Views Across Herefordshire And Almost Two Acres of Mature Terraced Gardens And Woodland And Offering Generous Five Bedroomed Accommodation In Need of Significant Updating And Refurbishment. Energy Rating E Location & Description The property enjoys a convenient location close to the Wyche Cutting on the Herefordshire/Worcestershire border. The highly regarded village of Colwall is just over a mile away and offers a range of amenities including a hotel, two pubs, a church, a general stores, a local butchers, busy café and a local railway station. The larger spa town of Great Malvern is also just over a mile distant. Here there is a more comprehensive range of facilities including shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and The Splash swimming pool and leisure centre. Malvern's main retail park (which boasts a number of familiar High Street names) is also close at hand. The town of Ledbury (approximately six miles) and the cities of Worcester (ten miles) and Birmingham (approximately thirty five miles) are easily commutable. Links to both the M50 motorway at Ledbury and to the M5 at Worcester are a short drive away. Educational facilities are second to none in both the state and private sectors, including two private prep schools in nearby Colwall as well as Malvern College and Malvern St James Schools in Malvern. Situated on the upper western slopes of the Malvern Hills, Monellan is in the perfect position for those who enjoy walking, cycling or riding with immediate access to numerous public footpaths, bridleways and hillside walks. From its commanding position it enjoys views over Herefordshire and towards the Welsh hills in the far distance. The house stands in almost two acres of terraced grounds and woodland although it should be noted that these have been somewhat neglected in recent years but with commitment and investment could easily be restored to their former glory. Originally constructed in 1905 this fine detached Edwardian residence is the perfect example of the architecture of the time. It does now require significant updating and refurbishment so this is undoubtedly a project for buyers with a project in mind. The current accommodation includes an elegant entrance hall with three reception rooms, a kitchen, a breakfast room that can double as a utility area, a cloakroom with WC, a laundry/boiler room, a garden room and a separate sitting room that could possibly double as a sixth bedroom. At first floor level a staircase with a half landing (leading via a doorway outside to a front entrance) opens onto the main landing off which there are five bedrooms (two of which have access to an external balcony), two bathrooms and a separate WC. Most rooms have radiators serviced by a gas fired central heating boiler. The house retains many original Edwardian features including its distinctive sash windows, skirtings and cornices, tiled floors, internal joinery, door furnishings and fireplaces. All carpets, curtains and blinds will remain. Attached to the house at lower level is an ancillary building providing external storage and workshops and there is also a large detached garage of timber construction. In years past one of the great strengths of Monellan would have been its terraced garden and grounds. Old photos show the setting in all its glory but it will now require investment and commitment to restore them, as over the past few years they have been somewhat neglected. The grounds, together with a large area of woodland, extend to just under two acres or thereabouts. Ground Floor Entrance Porch Part glazed.

Obscure glazed sash window to front aspect. Outside A short distance away from the house and approached across a gated driveway (which itself provides parking for a vehicle) is a large tandem Garage measuring 34'8 x 12'7. This is of timber construction with four windows, rear entrance door, power and lighting. There are two separate pedestrian gates that open onto pathways providing further access to the house itself. One of these leads to a courtyard lying to the side of the main residence and off which is an annexed two storey outbuilding comprising a fuel store, storeroom, tool shed, workshop and at lower level two basement rooms/cellars. When Monellan was first constructed and in the years that followed it is clear that significant investment went into the creation, design and layout of the gardens which for most of the last century provided a glorious setting. They were laid out to a series of west facing terraced lawns (one of which was a former tennis court with summer house) well stocked flower and shrub borders, banks of rhododendrons, mature specimen trees, raised flagstone seating areas and stone walls together with woodland. Sadly these have been neglected and now need a buyer with imagination and commitment to restore them to their original state. The grounds extend to almost two acres or thereabouts.
