The Grade II-listed property, dating from the early 19th century, was originally named Bellosguardo, after a town in the province of Salerno in the Campania region of south-western Italy, which literally means “beautiful view”.

A spokesperson for the estate agent said 'this is exactly what the new owner of 2 Bello Squardo on St Ann’s Road will get from their new home'. Malvern is a much sought-after location for property and some believe its landscape was the inspiration for CS Lewis' Chronicles of Narnia and J.R.R Tolkien's Middle Earth, particularly the Misty Mountains.

Erica Hinwood, sales manager of Nicol & Co’s Malvern office, said: “Enjoying a wealth of character, this historical building benefits from glorious views across Great Malvern, over The Priory, and beyond.

“This is an incredibly spacious, ground floor, three-bedroomed apartment, extending to a total area of more than 1,700 square feet.

“Located just off St Ann's Road in Great Malvern, the gardens of this fascinating property run alongside the famous 99 Steps that lead down into Great Malvern town centre.

“The entrance hall leads to a sitting room with a wood-burning stove and a stunning bay window, then a dining hall, lounge, and kitchen with Aga cooker, with three bedrooms, a bathroom, additional toilet and utility room.

“The apartment also features a terrace at the front, perfect for taking in the magnificent views, as well as a vast communal garden below.

“There are two double garages, which are split between the four apartments, each having the equivalent space of a single garage to use as parking or storage.

“There is further storage in the cellar space underneath the apartment, and mains gas, electricity, water and drainage are all connected, ensuring the property is ready for immediate occupancy.”

Ms Hinwood explained that the apartment will be sold with a share of the freehold with more than 990 years remaining, with a peppercorn main rent, plus an annual service charge of £2,400.

She added: “This is an exceptional apartment that offers both character and convenience in a central location, making it an excellent opportunity for those seeking a spacious and comfortable home in Great Malvern.”
