6 Evendine Mews is the former show-home within a select development of just six houses, and as such, is equipped with features befitting a home of this calibre. Built in recent years, the house still has three years remaining on the NHBC warranty.

The property has chic, clean lines throughout for a contemporary feel and a minimalist, understated elegance enhanced by calm, neutral shades. The monochrome exterior is softened by Siberian larch cladding blending seamlessly with the verdant village surroundings at the base of the Malvern Hills.

Colwall offers a wonderful village setting, with excellent rail links to Birmingham, to London, and to Hereford, bringing city life within easy reach. The village has its own Post Office, railway station, doctors’ surgery, pharmacist, public houses, a cafe and a local, privately-run supermarket, all within half a mile of the property.

The Malvern Theatres, Hereford Courtyard Theatre and the myriad Festivals in Cheltenham are all within easy reach. Walks on the Malverns are just moments away via a superb network of public footpaths, the nearest of which is around 100 metres from the house.

The area offers a wealth of schools, both private and public, including Colwall C of E Primary School and The Elms School and The Downs School, within the village. The prestigious Malvern College and Malvern St James are close by, and Hereford Cathedral School is a short train ride away.

The Property

The entrance hall is well-proportioned, with oak flooring and a solid, powder-coated aluminium door, with adjacent full-height glass panel, for privacy and light respectively, to the outside.

The kitchen-dining room is an impressive and spacious, multi-purpose room, with wide bi-fold doors opening to the terrace and bay window overlooking the stream and offering views to the Malvern Hills beyond. The kitchen has oak flooring, a central island, sleek white units complemented by granite work-surfaces and tiled splashbacks and is equipped with Neff appliances: Two ovens with ‘slide and hide’ doors, a 5-ring gas hob, integrated tall fridge, tall freezer, and a dishwasher. An Insinkerator instant hot water tap adds to the high-tech feel. A full height internal window to the hallway adds light to the areas currently used for dining and for informal family gatherings on the sofas.

The sitting room, with oak flooring and a large bay window to the south, is a quiet refuge, away from the sociable family kitchen.

The utility room, with window and glazed door to the garden, has space and plumbing for two white goods, granite worktop with stainless steel sink inset and ample storage space.

The WC has ceramic tiled flooring, loo, vanity basin with drawers, and an obscured window to the garden.

The stairs, with oak and glass balustrade, lead to the first-floor galleried landing, where a contemporary sputnik-inspired chandelier and skylight windows light the space beautifully. The skylights can be remotely operated and they also close automatically if rain is sensed.

The master bedroom has a large window overlooking the rear garden and mature specimen trees beyond. There is a dressing room with fitted shelving, hanging space and a skylight. The en-suite has a large walk-in shower, wc and vanity basin with drawers underneath.

The second bedroom has a bay window providing expansive views towards the Malvern Hills. The well-proportioned room is currently configured to provide space for a double bed, a sofa and a study area. This bedroom also has an en-suite shower room.

The third and fourth bedrooms, with high-level windows for privacy, are large enough to accommodate double beds, but are currently presented as a single bedroom and a home office respectively. These bedrooms share the use of the family bathroom, which has a bath, a separate shower with tiled enclosure, wc, vanity basin with drawers, and heated towel rail.

There is a large attic space, with the central section already boarded, and further loft space can be found above the garage.

The property is highly energy efficient, with 21 in-roof photovoltaic solar panels which combine with a Tesla Gateway system that diverts self-generated power back into 2x Tesla Powerwall 2.0 batteries (13.5kwh each), a Zappi 7.4kwh single phase electric vehicle charger, and an Eddi immersion system for hot water . Usage can be monitored, and settings adjusted, via the myenergi and Tesla apps. This system significantly reduces use of power from the grid.

Outside

At the front of the property, a block-paved driveway provides parking for three vehicles and leads to the integrated single garage. There are timber gates both sides of the property, which lead to wrap around gardens, at the sides and rear. To the rear, there is a large sandstone terrace which has been extended by the current owners to provide a usable outdoor space in all seasons. The terrace has an inset flower bed above the well-kept lawn and there are two mature trees providing dappled shade, interest and height within the garden. A hot tub is set discreetly in a sheltered corner of the west facing terrace, near the scented jasmine.

A highlight within the garden is the Evendine Brook, a small, spring-fed stream from the Malvern Hills, trickling through the garden, with a wooden bridge over, forming a wonderful focal point: Perfect for quiet contemplation or a rowdy game of pooh sticks. The banks of the stream are studded with daffodils, bluebells, wild garlic, hellebores and azaleas, all of which are complemented by the Virginia Creeper that is maturing by the road bridge.

Outdoor power, lights and tap make this a very practical outdoor space.
