Then sold, on his being called to London to build churches, to the distinguished water cure Doctor Archibald Weir. Becoming part of the first girls school in Malvern Lawnside for sixty years until being acquired by its current owners and re-roofed and worked on to reveal its original features. Centred around a welcoming entrance hall the interlinking principal ground floor reception rooms are particularly convivial for entertaining on a large scale boasting numerous and varied hand crafted period fireplaces, stone archways and feature windows. The sympathetically designed light and spacious concert hall, added originally as a billiard room by Dr Weir, has enjoyed notable performances over the years by Edward Elgar, Sir George Bernard Shaw and more recently Nigel Kennedy. An impressive staircase leads to a wonderfully large landing and the first and second floors which presently provide extensive living accommodation with lovely hillside views and a warm and happy atmosphere. Last, but not least, is the atmospheric lower ground floor, originally the kitchens and domestic offices, where there are many reminders that evoke the sense of a bygone era with the old cooking ranges, slate shelving and some barrel vaulted ceilings.
