LOCATION Dower Cottage is located in the delightful village of Broome which has a church and a great sense of community. Nearby is the charming village of Clent which has a number of pubs and restaurants, and is home to the popular Clent Hills. The village of Hagley lends its name to the seat of the Viscount Cobham, Hagley Hall, recognised for its imposing palladium architecture and surrounding listed parkland and adjacent St Johns church. This thriving community benefits from popular public houses, library, doctor’s surgery, dentists, a variety of shops and professional services, and a range of community activities based on the Parish Hall and open space. Hagley benefits from a railway station providing regular services to the South and Worcester, and Birmingham City Centre, via The Black Country. Access to the M5 South can be made at Worcester for onward travel to the South West Peninsula and Bristol. Access to the M5 North can be made at Halesowen, and for onward travel to the East and the capital at Lydiate Ash. The County Town of Worcester is the site of the final battle of the English Civil War, dissected by The River Severn, and identified by a heady mix of historic buildings including its ancient Cathedral and magnificent Guildhall. Worcester is characterised by its Racecourse, County Cricket Ground, Premiership Rugby Club, University and high street shopping. If education is a priority then Worcestershire is blessed with an enviable mix of schooling at all levels, including a variety of both maintained and independent establishments, allowing parents to select the right environment for their children’s needs. Both Haybridge and The Roman Catholic School are to be found within Hagley, with schools in the independent sector including Winterfold House Preparatory School at Chaddesley Corbett, Kings Schools and Royal Grammar Schools at Worcester, Old Swinford Hospital School at Stourbridge, and Bromsgrove School at Bromsgrove. The University of Worcester also continues to expand and the city is increasingly recognised for its status as a focal point for higher education as well. The iconic Library has, in recent years, added to the dynamic city landscape.
