DESCRIPTION

Warwick House is one of Malvern's iconic buildings, originally built as an exclusive department store in around 1820. 'The Tower' at Warwick House was converted into five luxury apartments, one for each floor, in 2001/2. This contemporary, sumptuous and secure ground floor apartment is one of a kind. With stone and brick walls, some of which are one meter thick, and nearly 1,800 square feet of living space, it is versatile, iconic and enthralling.

No. 8 contains a magnificent airy space (35'1 x 17'10) comprised of a double sitting room. The living room is light and bright with tall ceilings and 7'0 high (frame to frame) windows, covered by newly fitted shutters. The area has been re-designed to beautifully blend original brick, stone and timber from the 1820's commercial building for luxury contemporary living.

The large open space is well complemented with an outstanding newly fitted LEICHT kitchen. Handleless, light grey wall and base cabinets with fitted appliances include a Britannia range cooker, Bosch dishwasher and integrated fridge/freezer. Seamlessly designed with niche shelving, under counter lighting and plenty of slimline worktops.

A generous dining area (25'5 x 16'6) is wide and spacious; currently arranged with a wooden table and chairs (for six + adults) it is just the perfect place to entertain family and friends.

Just off the living area is a dedicated office or study (10'8 x 7'5) with a fitted work station boosted by super fast broadband....ideal for those that regularly work from home. A new sink and cupboard has been installed in the handy utility room (7'5 x 3'9) where there is both good space and shelving for a free-standing washing machine.

Bedroom 2 (15'0 x 10'3) is a great double bedroom with space for a large wardrobe and views over a neighbouring church.

A newly fitted stylish family bathroom (8'10 x 8'0) is a good size. Fully tiled with a white, three piece suite including an enclosed shower with both a rainfall and handheld shower head, free standing bath, large hand basin and vanity unit, WC, LED mist free mirror, ceramic wall tiles, chrome heated towel rail, and a practical, wood effect vinyl flooring.

In the hall is an elegant stone staircase leading up to the first floor where you will find a pretty landing. It is here you will find the front/side entrance to the apartment with access to the lift, communal areas and Rose Bank Gardens opposite the top entrance to the building.

A large main bedroom (15'2 x 11'1) includes a built-in wardrobe, a triple window with views, and a new en suite bathroom.

In addition, the apartment has a sophisticated alarm system, luxury flooring, LED lighting and double glazing throughout. An efficient boiler has recently been installed providing gas central heating. A central thermostat and thermostatic valves on all the wall-mounted radiators ensure running costs are relatively modest. The large east-facing windows, with newly fitted shutters, and substantial stone walls, aid the running costs by keeping the apartment warm in Winter and cool in Summer.
