Property Description
Peachfield Cottage has a long and interesting history which dates back to 1836 when it was constructed during the early Victorian period to provide quarters for the coachman who, it is understood, was in service to the local manor house. Its striking original Victoria facade gives it a very distinctive appearance and is perhaps the main reason that it carries a Grade II listing. The property was extended during the latter part of the 19th century and again in the 1960s. The result is a house with flexible and extremely generous accommodation (approx. 1085 sq ft, 100.8 sq metres). Some investment and updating is required but this will undoubtedly offer potential buyers an opportunity to mould this interesting and historic house into a fine contemporary home.
As mentioned earlier Peachfield Cottage has a lovely setting in a large mature and well sheltered garden which to the front enjoys views across Malvern Common towards the hills and to the rear across open fields. The property is approached from the common across a short private road that serves both Peachfield Cottage and two neighbouring houses. It is also very occasionally used by a local farmer for access to his fields and from time to time by walkers to access a nearby public footpath across these same fields. Behind the main building is a large detached former coach house with an adjacent tack/stable room. This stone and brick building currently doubles as a garage. Within the curtilage there is also additional space for parking.

Location
The property enjoys a convenient position on the outskirts of Malvern approximately a mile from the busy well served neighbourhood of Barnards Green where there is a comprehensive range of amenities including shops, Co-op supermarket, Post Office and takeaways. The wider facilities of Great Malvern are only just over a mile distant. Here there are further shops and banks, Waitrose supermarket, the renowned theatre and cinema complex and the Splash leisure pool and gymnasium. Transport communications are excellent. There is a mainline railway station between Barnards Green and Great Malvern and junction 7 of the M5 motorway at Worcester is just 8 miles away. The property is also well placed for access to a wide choice of schools in both the state and private systems and at primary and secondary levels including the nearby Chace High School, Malvern College and Malvern St James Girls' School.
Undoubtedly one of the great strengths of Peachfield Cottage is its setting on the edge of Malvern Common and overlooking open countryside. This lovely rural position is perfect for dog walkers. There are also fine views across the common itself towards the full range of the Malvern Hills in the west. The Three Counties Showground and Worcestershire Golf Club are both less than five minutes away by car.

We have been advised that mains services are connected to the property.

Directions
From the centre of Great Malvern proceed down Church Street and into Barnards Green Road passing Malvern St James Girls' School and sports hall. Continue downhill to a large island. Take the third exit continuing along Barnards Green Road through Barnards Green itself. After a few hundred yards take the second turn to the right into Poolbrook Road. Follow this route for approximately quarter of a mile where you will reach Malvern Common. Ignore the left turning to Churchdown Road. Continue for a few yards where you will notice the 40mph speed limit signs. Turn left immediately before these signs onto a partially made up track (Hayes Bank Road). After 100 yards the track forks in three directions. The middle fork leads onto a private made up driveway. This will take you to Peachfield Cottage. However, turning and parking can be difficult so viewers are advised to park up on the common rather than taking this driveway. You can then walk via a gated entrance to the front of the property.
