17 no. dwellings, including 11 no. houses and 6 no. flats and 3 commercial units

Approximately 1.07 acres (0.433 ha)

The site is located within the town centre of Great Malvern, off Edith Walk Road and Worcester Road. The central position of the site allows for easy access to all of the shops, facilities and amenities that the town has to offer. The surrounding area offers an attractive blend of independent shops, cafés, cultural venues and open green spaces, all set against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, making this a highly desirable and well-connected location for residential development. The main train station is also within walking distance and provides direct links to Worcester, Hereford and Birmingham.

The site itself extends to approximately 1.07 acres (0.43 ha) and comprises a tarmac car park which slopes downwards from the west of the site through to the east. There is also a small set of garages and two boarded-up commercial premises on the site, with a number of overgrown trees/shrubs which are dotted throughout.

Existing access to the site can be gained through an off-road from Worcester Road which borders the site's western edge, and off Edith Walk which borders the south of the site. Directly west of the site is the Foley Arms Hotel, Nation Wide Bank and Barclays Bank. Bordering the site's western boundary is Waitrose & Partners and bordering its northern boundary are private gardens associated with the buildings along Worcester Road.

Parties are to make their own enquiries as to the availability of services and we have not made any investigations in this regard.
