The area offers a sought-after rural quality of life combined with excellent commuter links.

Westfields

The cottage sits comfortably at the top of the garden, set within a sloping bank on the western side of Hollybush. • This property has been in the long-term ownership of Eastnor Estate; this is the first time it has come to the market in many generations. • The cottage is well presented and appears in good order; it provides generous accommodation and ample ancillary domestic space together with good external storage space. • There are three good sized double bedrooms on the first floor plus a smaller fourth bedroom, currently set out as a dressing room with built in wardrobes. • The family bathroom has a bath and separate shower and the main bedroom has an en-suite shower room.

A further boot room, with adjacent WC also has a rear door access.

The Outside

• This idyllic location is bordered by Estate owned farmland (pasture) to the north and west and the Malvern Hills to the east. Access is via a private roadway off the public highway. • There is a private, gravelled parking area outside of the fenced garden. A gated entrance and driveway lead to the garage and cottage with pedestrian paths extending to front and rear of the property. • A pretty and mature cottage garden lies predominantly to the front and south of the cottage, the garden and grounds are 0.35 acres in all. • The Malvern Hills are literally on your doorstep, you can be roaming free within a few minutes.
