Neighbourhood

Description of our neighbourhood and surrounding area

While we look out directly onto the Malvern Hills, we are also just a few minutes walk away from shops, restaurants, takeaways, pubs and a railway station.
There are four other apartments in the house but it is generally very quiet with only two or three usually being occupied at any one time.
When we moved here after downsizing from our family house, it was with the intention to travel further afield. However, when the Covid pandemic arrived, we realised that the place was a godsend with ever changing far reaching views from our safe elevated second floor location. The balconies and large communal garden allow fresh air and relaxation without ever leaving the property.

Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home

We live alongside Link Common, a large area of land cared for by the Malvern Hills Trust. The ground then rises up to the wooded and grazed Hills, the ridge of which runs for approximately 8 miles from north to south. We are towards the northern end with views from our sitting room, kitchen and master bedroom windows to North Hill and Worcestershire Beacon, the latter being the highest point at almost 1400 feet above sea level. The views from the other windows look towards Worcester, the Vale of Evesham and the Cotswold Hills.
You can either walk from the door or drive to one of the many car parking spots on the Hills where part of the uphill climb can be taken out, if required.
We are within easy walking distance of Great Malvern and it’s renowned Priory, theatre (with cinema), Grade II* listed railway station, specialist shops, cafes, restaurants, pubs, etc.
Malvern Link railway station is a five minute walk away across the Common. This has frequent trains running towards Ledbury & Hereford in one direction and Worcester, Birmingham & London in the other direction.
There are a number of National Trust properties nearby including Croome Park, Hanbury Hall and our personal favourite Brockhampton.
Both cathedral cities of Hereford and Worcester are a short car drive or train journey away as are many attractive historic market towns such as Ledbury and beautiful villages of Herefordshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire.

Our Preferences

Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules

We are planning to visit South Island, New Zealand during the later part of 2023 (part Oct & Nov).
We are also interested in short exchanges at anytime in the UK.
We would leave our property clean and tidy with all basic necessities ready for guests and would hope to find it in a similar condition on our return.
Our granddaughters stay on a regular basis so the apartment is well set up for small children & toddlers.
There are 2 flights of stairs, which we climb without a second thought but could be difficult for someone with mobility issues.
