Peachfield Common is also just a few minutes' walk away.
Great Malvern is just under two miles away and offers a good range of amenities including many restaurants and cafes, a mixture of independent shops and high street names as well as Waitrose supermarket. There are banks, Post Office, the lovely Great Malvern Priory and the renowned theatre and cinema complex set in the attractive Priory Park.
Recreational needs are well catered for with the Worcestershire Golf Club close by, the Malvern Splash Leisure Centre in Great Malvern and the Manor Park Sports Club in Malvern Link together with several membership gyms and clubs in the area.
Educational needs are well served with the well regarded Wyche Primary School approximately a five minutes walk away and the area is served by several highly regarded schools at primary and secondary levels in both the private and public sector including The Chase High School, Hanley Castle High School, Malvern College and Malvern St James Girls' School.
Transport connections are also excellent with a mainline railway station in Great Malvern having direct links to London, Birmingham, Worcester, Hereford and south Wales. Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is just outside Worcester for northbound traffic or Junction 9 for southbound traffic being just north of Tewkesbury.
18 Eaton Road is believed to have been built in 1870 and retains much of its period character and charm, rich in history that has been retained by the current owners. It occupies a delightful elevated position in a quiet cul-de-sac with undisturbed views across the Severn Valley to Bredon Hill and beyond.
The current owners have previously had planning applications approved for improvements to the property (e.g. Loft conversion, not carried out therefore now lapsed) involving interesting and detailed ideas realised in drawings by architects and structural engineers with high levels of attention to detail, copies of which are available. The owners have carried out some major works since their purchase.
The house is set back from the road in an elevated position with Malvern stone wall to either side. The road gives access to basements doors and secure side access to the garden and to steps that lead up to a wooden framed and bespoke wicker porch, a level lawned area and wooden door that opens to the ground floor accommodation into a spacious Entrance Hall with wooden balustraded staircase to first and lower ground floor levels, leading to wonderfully light and spacious sitting and dining room that enjoys two large sash windows, one of which is a bay and both providing breath taking views over the Severn Valley towards Bredon Hill. A sociable space, ideal for family living and entertaining. A focal point of this room is the wood burning stove and open fireplace feature on either side of the room. Also on the ground floor is a separate Snug with original floorboards and an open fireplace currently in use, and a glazed sash window that overlooks the lawned terrace. There is a Storeroom, Dining Room with log burner and large Welsh Dresser (included) and what are believed to be the original servants bells. The dining room is open to the kitchen which benefits from steel workbenches, two stainless steel sinks and drainer, a seven ring Belling gas cooker with two ovens and a grill. Skylights and a glazed window to side giving the area plenty of natural light. Glazed door leads to a paved terrace at the side of the house.
To the first floor is an open, spacious landing with sash window. This landing gives access to four bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate WC. All the bedrooms have beautifully maintained original floorboards and sash windows with feature fireplaces in three of the rooms. Bedroom One has the benefit of a dressing room with wash hand basin and an obscure wooden door giving access to the garden. This area could be converted into an en-suite subject to the relevant permissions being sought. The two double bedrooms to the front of the property, one of which has a large sash window, also enjoy the outstanding views. The current owners have taken a stylish approach to the bathroom which offers a white suite of bath, wash hand basin and WC, unique patterned flooring, chrome heated towel rail and a radiator.
On the lower ground floor is a basement accessed via an internal staircase or double doors from the road and has power connected. There is a utility room with tiled floor and space for white goods and houses the Worcester Bosch gas central heating boiler. A door provides access to the side passage.
Outside the house sits in approximately half an acre of land which consists of woodland and hillside garden to the rear enjoying a private and mature aspect. There are a number of mature trees including Lime, Copper Beech and Hazel trees and a log store. The garden offers access to a main footpath which leads to The Wyche Cutting and beyond. It offers a wonderful elevated position along with breath-taking views views over the rooftop. There are two flat terraced areas to either side of the property, one of which is laid to lawn with planted beds and walled surround, the other is a paved area and surrounded by a Malvern stone wall. From here steps lead to the hillside garden and down to the secure side access and detached Pod. Both of these terraces have the same wonderful view.
To the front of the property and on the other side of the road is a separate area of garden. Accessed via two sets of steps. The neighbours below do have a right of access over one set of these. There is a flat area laid to crazy paving with individual vegetable plots which the vendors use all year round. This area also has the wonderful view and has many mature trees including a Damson, Quince, both cooking and eating Apple trees and a mature shrub bank.
The small side garage has been converted to create a detached pod which is a home office and enjoys plenty of light with two skylights, power and lighting connected and doors to front. There is a built in desk and electric heater.
The garden has an external tap and external lighting.
