Situated in tranquil Malvern Wells, within the Malvern Hills, this exceptional Victorian home occupies a commanding position, with far-reaching views across the Severn Valley toward the Cotswolds. Originally a Royal Warrant Victorian grocery store serving Princess Victoria during her visits to take the Malvern Waters, the property has been renovated to create a versatile family home that blends period elegance with modern functionality.

Extending over four storeys and incorporating a self-contained one bedroom garden flat and separate coach house, the home offers multiple reception spaces, five principal bedrooms, and flexible areas ideal for multi-generational living, entrepreneurial ventures, or creative enterprises. Its original shop frontages, featuring expansive glass windows and clerestory lighting, could accommodate an artisan studio, gallery, offices, or pop-up commercial use, while also integrating seamlessly with the home’s fabric.

The property is ideal for families, creative entrepreneurs, or multi-generational living, with the potential for commercial income from the garden flat or shop frontages. It sits within walking distance of the Three Counties Showground, Great Malvern town centre, theatres, golf club, and independent shops and cafés. Twin footpaths lead directly into the Malvern Hills AONB.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of the Malvern Hills, Malvern is an elegant Worcestershire town renowned for its natural beauty, cultural heritage and refined character. The town offers a blend of independent shops, cafés and restaurants alongside excellent schooling and leisure facilities, with cultural highlights including the celebrated Malvern Theatres. With direct rail connections to Worcester, Birmingham and London Paddington, Malvern combines the appeal of countryside living with convenient access to major centres, making it a consistently sought-after place to live.

The Property

Accessed via a balcony terrace, the entrance hall features stripped wood flooring and under-stairs storage. To the left, the kitchen/diner is bathed in natural light through dual-aspect windows, with a central island, Corian countertops, banquette seating with hidden storage, and integrated appliances.

Adjacent, the laundry features practical fitted storage, belfast sink, and space for a washing machine and tumber dryer with views across the garden and Severn valley.

The sitting room boasts a woodburner, tongue-and-groove panelling, and high display shelving, while the adjoining dining area links to a single glass-fronted store, currently a versatile living space.

A separate double glass-fronted store operates as a studio, but could easily be recombined with the single store or used commercially.

Ground-floor facilities also include a pantry and WC.

The first floor offers a comfortable lounge with dual aspect, a music room with views, alongside the expansive main bedroom with marble fireplace. There is family bathroom, shower room next door, and two additional double bedrooms.

The second floor has two further double bedrooms and an open-plan sitting/studio, complemented by a family bathroom.

Several rooms provide framed views of the Severn valley and surrounding hills.

A self-contained garden flat includes a sitting room with private terrace, kitchen/diner, double bedroom, laundry room and bathroom. Currently offering a revenue stream via Airbnb.

Original cobbled cellars, a log store, and a working Victorian outside privy add character and storage opportunities.

Outside

The separate two-storey coach house provides workshop space, stabling/potting storage, and garage parking with off-road access. RSJ reinforcement allows for vehicle parking on the upper level, while lower rooms offer versatile storage or workspaces.

A gravelled courtyard at the rear is perfect for outdoor dining, leading to terraced gardens with lawns, hornbeam hedges, floral borders, and specimen roses under-planted with tulips and lavender.

Mature plantings—including crocosmia, and towering anemones—create year-round interest, while terraces and the entrance balcony frame panoramic views across the Malvern Hills and Severn Valley toward the Cotswolds.
