5 bedroom house

Sitting on the western side of British Camp Hill Fort, one of the most prominent and recognisable of the Malvern Hills, Hillside commands a truly spectacular position with breathtaking views across Herefordshire towards the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons.

The oldest part of the house is thought to date from the late 17th century. It was remodelled and extended in the 1900's then further extensions were added in 1970's and 1980's. The current owner has continued to improve the house, creating the flexible layout as it is today. There is a planning permission to join the two wings together to create a large kitchen/dining/living space with bedroom above.

The accommodation extends to over 3,000 sq. ft. and is currently arranged as a three bedroom house with two self contained annexes. It would be to possible to combine these to form one, large five bedroom house.
