Hartlebury village is situated on the A449 Road, approximately seven miles from Worcester, five miles from the M5 motorway, thirty minutes from Birmingham. Ideally situated for commuters, Hartlebury village has a railway station, commuting directly to Birmingham/Worcester, it is the home of the Bishop of Worcester, whose palace is situated on the edge of Hartlebury Common, a protected area abounding in wild life and a centre for ramblers and equestrians. On the edge of the village is Waresley Mansion, a fine listed Georgian building, standing in landscaped grounds and recently renovated and internally altered to provide luxuriously appointed individual apartments. Originally described by Laird in 1812 there is perhaps not a more comfortable residence in the country', it has in the past been owned by the Peel family (Robert Peel, the Prime Minister), the Perrins family (Worcester sauce) and a few years ago was entirely altered by Marston Developments to its present splendid condition. Great care was taken to preserve the lovely plaster work throughout the building and the magnificent Hall and grand staircase were restored to their original condition providing a most impressive entrance to these superb apartments.
