Seller Insight In spring1990 the current owners were seeking a family home to raise their young children when they fell in love with this spectacularly spacious abode. “Our children were aged six months and two years old when we moved into the house almost 25 years ago. My husband and I were keen to find a home to raise them and that’s exactly what we have here,” recalls the lady of the house. “The property is set within one and a half acres of land and we designed the gardens around the children, to provide them a place to play outside with their friends. There have been many little rugby tournaments, rounders games and cricket matches on the lawn over the years! We planted small trees in the garden all those years ago, which have grown up alongside our children and now provide beautiful colour to the grounds throughout the seasons.”

Inside a flowing layout provides an extremely light interior, “as a family we tend to home in on the kitchen. When the children were little we had a playroom adjacent to the kitchen, but as they grew up we have opened the space to create a more mature den.” The kitchen opens out onto the garden allowing the flow to continue into the outside space. “It’s been a great house for the children to have friends over but also for us to have dinner parties with friends and family. The driveway can accommodate around eight cars and the dining room currently holds a table which comfortably seats 12.”

The property is ideally located in the historic village of Ombersley, which is immortalised in the doomsday book. The house is set back from the main road but is just a short walk from the village amenities. “You never need to leave the village for provisions, there’s a butchers, bakers and well stocked village store as well as several great restaurants, an ancient church, a doctor surgery with its own pharmacy and there are so many lovely walks right on the doorstep. We can’t imagine ever leaving the village so we are planning to build our own house just down the road!” * These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.

DROITWICH SPA Droitwich Spa is a historic town within the Wychavon district of Northern Worcestershire, on the banks of the River Salwarpe.

The River Salwarpe takes its name for the Anglo Saxon ‘sal’ meaning salt and ‘weorp’ meaning to churn up, describing the salt brines which the river flows across. The town is situated upon massive salt deposits which have been extracted since ancient times. The natural Droitwich brine contains 2½ lbs. of salt per gallon - ten times stronger than sea water and rivalled only by the Dead Sea..

Droitwich shopping is mainly focused in the traditional town centre around Victoria Square, leading to the St Andrew’s Square shopping centre and down to the original High Street, with its local pubs and an eclectic mix of traditional shops. Farmers’ markets are also held regularly in Victoria Square.

The Norbury Theatre hosts regular shows year-round, including an annual pantomime, and also shows films. On the outskirts of the town is the famous Chateau Impney, now a hotel, restaurant and conference centre. The lido was renovated in 2007 and the Lido Park remains a pleasant and popular space.

Droitwich leisure centre at Briar Mill has gym facilities, sports halls, a swimming pool and squash courts.There are also outside football and astroturf pitches with floodlighting. The centre also runs a squash league and archery society.

WORCESTER Worcester is the site of the final battle of the Civil War. The River Severn runs through the middle of this attractive city, overlooked by the 10th-century Worcester Cathedral.

The county town and historic city of Worcester is just 17 miles southwest of Birmingham and 23 miles north of Gloucester.

The city historically hosted a flourishing glove making industry and was the home of Royal Worcester Porcelain as well as, for much of his life, the composer Sir Edward Elgar.

Providing the ideal location for retail therapy, there are three large covered shopping centres and an additional three out of town shopping parks. The main commercial centre can be found on the recently modified high street, home to a number of major retail chains and the older shopping streets contain numerous individual boutiques. There is also a racecourse, theatre, cricket club and university.

The green city of Worcester provides three spacious parks and two large woodlands covering over 33 hectares. The banks of the River Severn provide an idyllic setting for an evening stroll or bike ride, surrounded by the wonderful Worcestershire countryside bounded by the Malvern Hills and pretty market towns.

Historic landmarks include the spectacular Worcester Cathedral, dating back to the 10th Century and the Queen Anne style Guildhall designed by Thomas White, a pupil of Sir Christopher Wren in 1722. The latest landmark is Worcester’s new central library, ‘ The Hive ‘, a striking gold roofed building on the site of the former cattle market.
