Village life at Mount Battenhall can be as relaxed or as active as you choose, with an excellent range of facilities offering every opportunity for a full and varied retirement.

The Buildings
Battenhall House is a stunning Grade II* Listed Italianate mansion which has been beautifully refurbished to accommodate some apartments and the extensive communal facilities, and the space is both impressive and welcoming.
Other existing buildings - the stable block, The Gatehouse and Gardener's Cottage - have been similarly carefully restored to provide delightful character homes, alongside three new-build villas housing further one and two bedroom apartments.
The very best materials have been used to create both communal areas and individual properties that are elegant, stylish, luxurious and comfortable.
All properties benefit from a 10-year home warranty provided by the NHBC or Checkmate (new-build and conversion properties respectively).
The Grounds
Owners at Mount Battenhall will enjoy attractive, peaceful surroundings with beautifully landscaped grounds and generous outside spaces, offering a delightful setting with lawns and gardens to enjoy.
Location
Mount Battenhall benefits from a tranquil and leafy environment, but with proximity to the many amenities and rich culture of Worcester city centre, which is about a mile away. Worcester offers all the shops, cafés, restaurants and conveniences you'd expect, any many leisure facilities both within the city and nearby.
Visit Worcester's beautiful historic cathedral or the City Art Gallery and Museum, browse in the many and varied independent shops and well-known retailers, or enjoy a drink and a meal in any one of large selection of food outlets.
Not far from the city, Perry Wood Nature Reserve, Greyfriars' House and Gardens and Huntingdon Hall are all wonderful destinations for a relaxing day out, watch cricket at the County Cricket Club, or have a flutter on the horses at the famous Worcester Racecourse.
