Detached house for sale in Malvern WR13, 6 Bedroom

Constructed in the early 1930s, Hayhoe is an individual detached property designed by Malvern's most distinguished architect Troyte Griffith. He was renowned for designing solid, substantial country homes and strived to create a sense of spaciousness through clean lines and well proportioned rooms. Built to exacting standards by W. James of Upper Colwall, who was well known for the quality of his work, Hayhoe is a fine example of Troyte's legacy offering considerable charm and character retaining many original features including a striking stone fireplace in the drawing room, elegant wooden staircase, solid wood internal doors and parquet wood block flooring.

Hayhoe has been a much loved family home for over 20 years and the current vendors have invested heavily in order to keep it well maintained. Improvements have been made throughout, including a refitted shower room to the first floor and most notably, a remodelled contemporary kitchen in 2018 to include newly installed double glazed windows. Whilst these improvements have enhanced the property greatly, it still offers tremendous scope with exciting potential to adapt the accommodation even further.

The property is arranged on the ground floor with an impressive reception hall leading to beautiful drawing room with striking bay window, dining room, sunny sitting room with feature wood burning stove and breakfast kitchen. From here, an inner hall leads to the study, utility room and cloakroom. A rear porch, originally designed as the main entrance, provides access to outside. On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to the master bedroom, which enjoys a particularly fine dual aspect, five further bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room.

One of the great strengths of Hayhoe is its idyllic setting, quoted as being 'one of the best situated of all Troyte's larger houses' in Jeremy M. Hardie's 2012 Troyte Griffith Malvern Architect and Elgar's Friend. Hayhoe occupies an enviable position on the lower slopes of the Malvern Hills affording magnificent long distance views. Nestled away from the road, Hayhoe takes full advantage of its superb south west facing aspect with beautifully maintained grounds extending to approximately one and A half acres. The grounds include a sunken garden with feature central fountain, wooded areas and a large outside covered eating area with heating and lighting.

With so much to offer, the agents strongly recommend an internal inspection to appreciate this most unique opportunity.
