Location

Rose Cottage enjoys an enviable rural location on the fringes of Chaddesley Corbett, surrounded by beautiful unspoilt countryside and conveniently located just over one from the village centre. The elevated position of the cottage affords great views from the rear to Malvern Hills on a clear day which is another fantastic element of this setting.

Chaddesley Corbett is the quintessential English village and extremely desirable for a number of reasons, partly down to the commutability of this location and also the highly regarded schooling on offer within the community including the celebrated Winterfold House.

The vibrant village centre is home to a number of useful shops and amenities, including well-respected pubs, farm shop and butchers, a pretty church, a doctor’s surgery, garden centre along with the Ofsted-rated ‘good’ primary and preschool.
Commuting from here is also very convenient, with the village providing good access to both the M5 and M42.

For those who love the outdoors this is a great place to live, with lots of beautiful countryside close at hand including the wonderful Chaddesley woods.
