F all the TV programmes about buying houses has taught us one thing its that we need to be aspirational. Its not enough that a future home has plenty of bedrooms to go around, has somewhere off the road to park the car and possesses plenty of storage space in which to hoard the household clutter, it also has to go that extra mile. People today want more than just bricks and mortar. They may not get it, or even be able to afford it, but thanks largely to the wonder of the Location, Location, Location partnership that is Kirstie Allsop and Phil Spencer, they want more for their money. Whether its a kitchen big enough to host a small dinner and dance, has views to sigh for, a heartshaped swiming pool in the basement or a sulking house in the shrubbery, what most of us are looking for, above all else in a new home, is that indefinable element the wow factor. The Grove at 8 Avenue Road, Malvern, certainly has it and in spades. Its a Gothic revival mansion in a conservation area and surprisingly, even given its history, it remains unlisted. Built in 1867, the house was designed by the eminent Victorian architect EW Elmslie for his own occupation but soon afterwards he sold it to Malverns distinguished water cure doctor Archibald Weir, who added a billiard room. For 60 years The Grove was part of

Lawnside girls school and the art of the game of snooker probably not considered to be part of a young gels education the billiard room was turned into a theatre, where over the years it has witnessed performaces by Sir Edward Elgar, George Bernard Shaw and Nigel Kennedy. When the present owners moved in they had the place re-roofed and worked on the building to reveal many of its original features hand-crafted fireplaces, decorative stone archways and windows, old cooking ranges, slate shelves and vaulted ceilings. The four-storey house has, on the ground floor, a reception hall, an inner hall, a living room, a dining room, a study, a bar and a studio. In the atmospheric lower ground floor are former domestic offices in five large rooms and a number of store rooms. On the two upper floors are seven bedrooms, a breakfast room, two studies, a bathroom and a utility. The Grange has a large, southfacing garden with uninterrupted views of the Malvern Hills, in which there is a mulberry tree, other mature trees, shrubberies and plenty of parking.

Industrial units market is on the move


THE Worcestershire commercial property market reflects the national economic situation with manufacturing improving and the services sector flat. So says John Dillon, managing director of specialist property consultancy JP Dillon Commercial Property Consultants. He said: Manufacturing is bouncing back across the county with an increasing number of industrial units coming onto the market and being snapped up, while the office market remains slow, as the service sector is unwilling to commit to new leases. The general shortage of ready to go sites and lack of stock continues to push up industrial and distribution rents and freehold values, providing an opportunity for landlords and developers who can quickly bring the right sites and stock to market to meet the demand. In Redditch, for example, we have had a very strong response from both developers and investors in the 2.6 acre Troy Industrial Estate in Jill Lane, Sambourne, which has come to the market for the first time in 30 years. Troy Industrial Estate presently has four industrial units and an office building covering more than 13,500 sq ft, and planning permission, granted in 2005, for a further four industrial units totalling 20,000 sq ft. Mr Dillon said: At a guide price of 650,000, there have been many expressions of interest, especially when new small industrial freehold units in the area are going for about 95 psf. Service businesses seem to remain reluctant to commit to long term expenditure, including new leases, resulting in a slow take up for office space throughout Worcestershire. Mr Dillon said: Institutional investors are recognising the value in the office market and are seeking out prime office freeholds particularly in Worcester, but at present many smaller businesses are content to remain in serviced office centres rather than taking on an office and a lease of their own. Traditionally these smaller companies have provided the growth at the bottom end of the office marketbut with economic prospects uncertain they still prefer to pay higher rents for the flexible terms available at serviced office centres. The tough office market means that there are good deals out

can be directly attributed to the companys use of innovative communications technique harnessed to effectively market landlords properties, while extending and developing the business into new market segments through our new product development strategy. These have included: the launch of a new social media strategy and pet friendly policy, a brand re-fresh and the development of a property doctor service which provides trouble shooting tips as well as search and selection advice for landlords.

The success of this venture was measured by analytics turnover and profit has increased along with market share and this agency should be very proud of itself we are indeed. Our continued growth and success against a backdrop of financial uncertainty speaks volumes. We are in the enviable position of being able to invest and devote resources to marketing which other local agents will struggle to match. This has undoubtedly contributed to our success in the awards.
