Description

Location

Essington Cottage occupies a prime position on the eastern slopes of the Malvern Hills, within the Malvern Wells Conservation Area. Tucked just beyond the laurel hedges that lead to the former Victorian Essington Hotel grounds, the property enjoys a truly special setting, with direct access to the historic Malvern Well where spring water can still be collected at source.

Essington Cottage and Essington House are set within their own private grounds, enclosed by perimeter walls and mature hedging, with no through traffic. The setting provides a peaceful and secure environment, ideal for families. The renowned Cottage in the Wood hotel is just minutes away, offering fine dining, afternoon teas and spectacular views across the Severn Valley.

Great Malvern lies approximately two miles to the north, providing an excellent range of amenities including independent shops, banks, Waitrose supermarket, the Malvern Theatres complex, and the Splash leisure pool and gym. A Morrisons Daily convenience store is within a five-minute walk, either via the road or a nearby public footpath leading to Wells Road, where a petrol station and hairdresser are also located.

 A nearby bus stop on Peachfield Road provides regular services to Great Malvern, Malvern Link retail park and Worcester city centre.

For commuters, Upton upon Severn is around seven miles away, offering access to the M50 motorway. Great Malvern railway station provides mainline services to London Paddington, Birmingham, the Midlands, Hereford and South Wales. Colwall Station, less than a mile away and accessible via a scenic walk over the hills, offers additional rail connections.

The property is well placed for highly regarded primary and secondary schools, including The Chase High School. For outdoor enthusiasts, the open slopes of the Malvern Hills are just minutes away, with Malvern Common approximately half a mile distant.

Description

Essington Cottage is a Grade II Listed, double-fronted home set in an exceptional position with far-reaching panoramic views across the Severn Valley towards Bredon Hill.

The property is approached from Holywell Road via a shared gravel driveway with Essington House, leading to off-road parking for two vehicles and a single garage located en-bloc.

A particular highlight of the property is the private, landscaped garden, which complements the outstanding setting and provides a peaceful space from which to enjoy the surrounding views. Combined with its proximity to the Malvern Hills and the amenities of Great Malvern, Essington Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a character home in one of the area’s most sought-after locations.
