Garden Cottage is close to some of Worcestershire's most beautiful countryside. The Cotswolds and the Malverns are within easy reach.
The cottage is believed to date back to the mid 19th century with the addition of a stable block some forty years later. Over the years the property has been extended and over the last ten years, the present vendors have completely transformed the property.
