Location & Description

The property enjoys a very convenient location in one of Worcesters most favoured residential areas, less than half a mile from St. Johns where there is an excellent choice of local amenities. The centre of Worcester itself is only just over a mile distant where, as one might expect, there is a comprehensive choice of facilities including shops of every description, entertainment and places to eat out. Educational facilities are second to none in both the state and private sectors and sporting facilities are readily available. The property is within immediate striking distance of the River Severn, The Cathedral and New Road which is the home of Worcestershire County Cricket Club. Transport communications are also second to none. There is a mainline railway station in the city providing good access to all parts of the UK and Junction 7 of the M5 motorway is only about ten minutes drive. Great Malvern and the Malvern Hills are only about six miles.

6 Link Elm Close is a traditional two storey detached chalet bungalow, originally built in the 1980's.

On the first floor a landing leads to two more bedrooms, one of which has its own en-suite dressing area. Here also there is a family bathroom. The property has gas fired central heating and double glazed windows. Light fittings and fitted bedroom furniture, carpets, curtains and blinds will all remain. Outside the bungalow enjoys a pleasant approach over a driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles and leading to a large double garage.

A schedule of the work carried out can be made available to potential buyers. Bids must be registered with the selling agents by midday on Tuesday 15th July 2025.
