Seller Insight

WR6 is an attractive postcode area to live in due to the beauty of the countryside, excellent regional schools and its close proximity to Droitwich, Worcester and the M5 motorway.

We loved how it proved to be one of those homes that you can come home to, shut the world out and relax into,’ explain the owners. Set in almost an acre, it has also provided them with ample space for entertaining. ‘The large garden is perfect for hosting get-togethers; from our daughter having her wedding in a marquee on the lawn to friends camping over in the wooded area after summer garden parties.’ Completely secluded and not overlooked by any neighbours, the garden includes a paved area with a pizza oven, large outdoor gas barbeque and a hot tub.
