Location & Description The property enjoys a convenient location less than quarter of a mile from the well served village of Welland where there is a local stores, primary school, church and village hall. Welland is less than four miles from the cultural and historic spa town of and a similar distance from the riverside town of Upton upon Severn both of which provide a comprehensive range of amenities. The city of Worcester is about twelve miles.

Transport communications are excellent. There is a mainline railway station in Great Malvern and Junction 1 of the M50 motorway near Upton is just seven miles. Educational needs are well catered for. The property is within easy reach of some of the best primary and secondary schools in the region in both the state and private sectors.

Elliots Cottage is situated in the heart of beautiful countryside on Castlemorton Common. It is surrounded by open fields and is set against the backdrop of the Malvern Hills which are only a few minutes drive away.

Property Description Originally dating back to the 1800's Elliots Cottage was at one time a pair of semi detached farmworkers cottages. It is now a traditional two storey detached house constructed of brick with external rendered elevations under a pitched tiled roof. The property does require updating and refurbishment but it offers enormous scope for extension and for transformation into a very fine contemporary home. The accommodation currently includes a porch, dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, a hall, lounge, utility room with WC, four bedrooms and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms has its own dressing room which could potentially be converted to an en-suite facility. The house has oil fired central heating (the boiler is three years old) and double glazed windows.

The large garden provides a lovely setting. Within the curtilage there are a number of small outbuildings mainly of timber construction and a driveway that can accommodate several vehicles. There is clearly potential to construct garaging if required.

Elliots Cottage provides the perfect opportunity for buyers to renovate, refurbish and stamp their own mark on a house that enjoys a wonderful location.

At the next crossroads turn right (still B4208) towards Welland. Carry on straight through Welland. As you leave the village you will come straight onto Castlemorton Common. After a further 600 yards turn right down an unmarked track (identified by two short black and white posts and a small yellow sign). Follow this track for approximately 500 yard over a small brook. Continue for two or three hundred yards before taking the first fork to the right (look out for a green No Authorised Vehicles sign). Elliots Cottage is the second property on the left.
