The Property

Set in an impressive period residence, thoughtfully converted into just two substantial homes, of which Ryvoan is an outstanding duplex maisonette occupying the upper levels. Its elevated position affords a commanding outlook, with uninterrupted, far reaching views that are truly exceptional stretching across rolling countryside to the distant silhouettes of Hay Bluff and the Black Mountains.

Extending to approximately 1,650 sq. ft., the accommodation is defined by its elegant proportions, abundant natural light, and a wealth of period detail. High ceilings, generous room sizes, and large windows combine to create a wonderful sense of volume and refinement throughout. The property feels more like a house.

Approached via a private bridge from West Malvern Road, the setting is both discreet and picturesque. Wrought iron railings and a charming pergola form an inviting seating area, ideal for enjoying the surroundings. A traditional storm porch leads into the property, where classic architectural features blend seamlessly with modern comforts, including gas central heating and double glazing.

The reception hall provides an impressive introduction, with a beautifully crafted staircase rising to the upper floor and original wooden doors leading to the principal rooms.

The sitting room is particularly elegant with dual aspect and flooded with natural light, offering outstanding views to the south and west. A feature fireplace with a living flame gas fire creates a warm focal point, enhancing the room’s inviting atmosphere.

The breakfast kitchen has been stylishly appointed, offering a comprehensive range of fitted units, generous work surfaces, a central island, and a walk in larder. Well equipped with high quality appliances, including an integrated SMEG dishwasher and a Rangemaster range cooker. This is a space equally suited to everyday living and entertaining.

The dining room is beautifully proportioned and perfectly positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular outlook, providing an ideal setting for more formal occasions. A further reception room offers versatility as a third bedroom, study, or additional sitting room, depending on individual requirements. A guest cloakroom completes this level.

The upper floor continues the sense of space and light. The principal bedroom is a particularly impressive suite, featuring a dormer window framing the far reaching views, alongside additional natural light from the southern aspect. Extensive eaves storage enhances practicality, with scope for fitted wardrobes or the creation of an en-suite if desired.

A second double bedroom enjoys a pleasant wooded outlook and is served, along with the principal bedroom, by a beautifully refitted bathroom, finished in a contemporary style with quality fittings.
