A Jewel Beneath Bredon Hill

Elmley Castle is a picture-perfect village nestled at the foot of Bredon Hill, in the heart of Worcestershire. Rich in heritage and rural beauty, it offers timeless charm, prime property, and a close-knit community – all set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.


Property Market in Elmley Castle

The village is home to some of the finest period and country homes in the region. From thatched cottages and historic timber-framed houses to Georgian residences and discreet equestrian holdings, Elmley Castle’s housing stock is as rare as it is desirable.

Homes along Hill Lane, Netherton Lane, and The Square are particularly sought-after, with prime property often achieving seven-figure prices. Demand is strong, and supply limited – especially for rural homes with acreage, views of Bredon Hill, or development potential. For buyers seeking privacy, quality, and character, Elmley Castle continues to outperform neighbouring villages.
