THERE can be few properties in Worcester into which more money has been poured than Mount Battenhall. Indeed if pound notes were going down the drain, the sewers of this grand edifice, which sits on raised ground in the residential south east of the city, would be well and truly blocked. Quite possibly Worcester’s most opulent private house, it has been by turns a large Italianate villa, a glittering mansion, a wartime hospital, two short term family homes and then an independent girls school for 80 years. Now the Mount has got the builders in again, as it undergoes its latest transformation into a retirement community.
