Situation West Malvern is a delightful part of the Malvern Hills as this area catches the evening sun and for properties like The Hermitage far reaching views are enjoyed across Herefordshire to the Welsh Mountains in the distance. The Hermitage is situated just to the west of Great Malvern where there is an excellent range of local shops including a Waitrose and services with an active and well regarded theatre. Worcester is within easy reach with the expected amenities of a city. In addition to this there is county cricket, professional rugby and horse racing. The A449 provides quick access from the M5 to Great Malvern and into Worcester. Regular trains run direct from Malvern stations to London Paddington and from Worcester to Birmingham. Of particular local importance is the number of good schools in the area from both the state and private sector. For sale freehold The Hermitage is a delightful home that dates back to the 19th Century in its main part. It has been extended and refurbished by the current owners to a very good standard. It is approached via a private track across the western face of the Malvern Hills. The track leads through timber field gates and over a cattle grid onto the block-paved drive of The Hermitage. The breath taking views greet you as you approach the house. There is an attractive terrace beside the house which enjoys the westerly and southerly aspects of the gardens and views. A part-glazed door leads through into a reception area, which is part of a converted adjoining barn. There are exposed timbers and beams and the upper area provides a good family room. It is used as a music room at present. Double glazed doors lead out to the cobbled terrace and there is a log-burner to the end of the room.

At the centre of the house is a large modern open-plan kitchen and breakfast room. White painted wall and floor mounted units have polished quartz work surfaces and a full range of integrated appliances. A fireplace with Bressummer beam over has a living flame gas log burner.

The sitting room is next to the kitchen and living area and there is a living flame gas log burner with a flagstone hearth and Bressumer beam above. Again, the stunning views are enjoyed.
