Description
Built in 1864, Tannachie was built for his retirement by a general in the Royal Artillery and was specifically designed to take advantage of its elevated position on the western slopes of the Malvern Hills to showcase its spectacular far reaching views across the rolling Herefordshire countryside towards the Welsh Borders.

An inner hall leads to a study and an open plan breakfast kitchen with a utility room, walk in pantry and a WC. From the inner hall there is access to an internal lift. On the first floor, a galleried landing leads to an impressive master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, which enjoys a delightful dual aspect overlooking the surrounding grounds and Herefordshire countryside beyond. There are two further double bedrooms and a separate shower room. A rear landing leads to three further bedrooms, separate WC and to an external bridge with access to the garden.
Tannachie is approached by a right of access across land belonging to Malvern Hills Trust. A sweeping driveway leads to a generous area of parking with turning area and provides access to a DETACHED GARAGE (13'2" X 12'1") with power and light connected and a WORKSHOP (14'2" X 12'0").
