Out with the old at The Orchard

With just one property remaining at Elan’s prestigious development in Welland, customers will have to move quickly to make the idyllic village their new home.

The final five-bedroom executive detached house at The Orchard provides a spacious retreat in a tranquil country setting.

And thanks to its efficient heating and insulation, the property could help householders save time, money and the environment, with experts agreeing that new homes are up to four times more energy efficient than older houses.

Ideally located, close to the M50/ M5, with easy access for commuters to Worcester, Gloucester, Bristol and Birmingham, The Orchard has been popular with professionals and families.

Andrea Nippe, sales director for Elan Homes’ Southern region, said: “The Orchard is a highly desirable collection of properties for discerning homebuyers.

“The final home offers the clean lines and space of a contemporary home in the traditional setting of a peaceful country village, perfect for busy executives who want to wind down without the burden of maintaining an older, larger property.”

Offering versatile accommodation across three floors, the five-bedroom ‘Nightingale’ home has been designed with a host of appealing features including a stone surround fireplace, high specification kitchen with granite worktops and two en-suites.

Adding to its appeal it also incorporates a secondary, self-contained dwelling; with its own entrance, kitchen/ utility area, shower room and living area. Located on the lower ground floor, this annexe provides a light and airy living space. It means the properties are perfect for families who want to share a home but still want everyone to enjoy having their own individual space.

With stunning views across the Malvern Hills, the Nightingale, priced at £570,000, is set on around a fifth of an acre of large garden with a detached double garage.

The picturesque village of Welland offers tempting rural amenities including a Post Office, general store, church and a primary school.

About five miles away, in the town of Great Malvern, a range of amenities are also available, including Waitrose and Somerfield supermarkets, plus a theatre and cinema complex and a Splash leisure pool and gymnasium.

The mainline railway station at Great Malvern provides links to Worcester, Birmingham, London (Paddington), Hereford and South Wales.
