Location & Description:
We are delighted to offer the opportunity to purchase part of the historic part of Great Malvern being 24 Belle Vue Terrace, believed to be Grade II Listed and set within the Conservation Area, the property incorporates a large ground floor commercial/retail space extending to approximately 4,900 sqft, with similar sized accommodation on the first floor, and with approx. 1,100 sqft on the second floor.

Great Malvern is approximately 8 miles (13 km) south-west of the city of Worcester on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills. The River Severn runs roughly north-south about 4 miles (6.4 km) to the east of the town. With a population of approx. 33,700 (Malvern Hills District Council website), and annual visitor numbers to the Malvern Hills area estimated to be approx. 1.7 million per year (Malvern Hills Visitor Economy Action Plan) and with local businesses such as the Morgan Motor Company, Quinetiq and attractions such as the Three Counties Showground and Eastnor Castle, Malvern is a dynamic and expanding town with historic roots dating back to the Victorian period.

Ground Floor:
Glazed frontage onto Belle Vue Terrace, the commercial/retail spaces expands towards the rear of the property and benefits from a large central light well and access to lower ground floor storage currently incorporating a rifle range. Extending to approx. 4,900 sqft the space has until recently (January 2013) been utilised by Clarke Roxburgh Insurance who occupied the whole premises.

Now vacant, the space would be suitable for a number of uses, subject to planning, and could accommodate upto 130 covers if used as a restaurant.

Extending to approx 4,970 sqft it is subdivided into offices with central heating and fully fitted carpets.
