Large family home with views of Malvern Hills up for auction

It may need an extra lick of paint, but strong bidding is expected for a detached family home close to the Malvern Hills in Bond Wolfe Auctions’ next auction on Wednesday 17 February.

The four-bedroomed house is at 5 Old Malvern Road in the popular residential area of Powick, a tranquil village between Worcester and Great Malvern which has many local amenities including three pubs.

The property stands away from the road behind a large driveway with gardens, two reception rooms, conservatory, central heating and double glazing, although the need for modernisation means a guide price* of £250,000+.

Gurpreet Bassi, chief executive of Bond Wolfe Auctions, said: “Powick is a fine place to live and a great location for a growing family, and we’re expecting lots of interest in such a lovely property marketed with such a keen starting price.”

There are also a range of lots in Worcester, including a two-bedroomed, mid-terraced house at 77 Northfield Street, which has gardens, a cellar, central heating and double glazing, and a guide price of £59,000 to £64,000.

Across in the east of the city is a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 276 Drake Avenue, which has a driveway, gardens, central heating and double glazing, and a guide price of £64,000 to £69,000.

And just a mile or so north of there is a three-bedroomed, semi-detached house at 3 Lechmere Crescent, which has driveway, garage and gardens with the space to develop, subject to planning permission.

This property also benefits from central heating and double glazing, although the need for refurbishment means it has a reasonable guide price of £95,000+.

Mr Bassi of Bond Wolfe Auctions added: “Whether you’re looking for your first purchase, or to extend your property portfolio, we have a wide range of properties in and around Worcester that could be the right purchase for you.”

The lots described are among a record-breaking total of 232 lots that will go under the hammer at Bond Wolfe Auctions’ auction which starts earlier than usual at 8.30am on 17 February.
