DESCRIPTION
Dough Bank is a lovely little community with a unique character all of its own and could be described as almost a small village within a village in a secluded position completely hidden from the main road with lovely valley views, an oasis of peace and tranquillity yet so convenient!Ombersley village itself is about 1 mile up the road and is a very beautiful and well preserved slice of \"traditional England\" with a superb Olde Worlde character and atmosphere hand in glove with its ancient history stemming as far back as the 8th Century. There is also a fascinating plague stone to be found on the small green to the north of the roundabout in the village. In addition to the rich and characterful environment, the real draw to Ombersley is its ultra-convenience, both in terms of its geographical location, permitting ease of motoring access to surrounding towns and Motorway Links, and also the value of its plentiful amenities/facilities which include cricket, tennis and golf clubs, a Delicatessen, Butchers, Bakers, four Public Houses, Dentist, Doctors, Primary School and a Character Church, namely St. Andrews. Checketts, the Butchers, also deserves special mention given that it is particularly renowned and attracts customers from far and wide. The nearby town of Droitwich Spa also has a Waitrose plus there is a main line Railway Station there as well. The Cathedral City of Worcester is approximately 7 miles south from the property.The property itself is a larger style 3/4 bedroom detached bungalow to be sold for the first time in over 40 years but what makes it really unique is it's large grounds which extend to about 0.883 of an acre and also include a paddock lending the possibility for the keeping of a recreational horse/pony subject to planning permission. The paddock has a separate gated access via a another un-named lane - therefore not Dough Bank - the entrance to which is located off the main road near to The Wharf Inn Public House.Similar detached bungalows in this price bracket, and with this degree of privacy and amenity/views and crucially so well located would be very difficult to find and as such a rare opportunity is offered.The accommodation comprises:-

OUTSIDE:
The property enjoys a very private position set below and well back from the lane-side, sitting behind an ample stone covered driveway whereby the current owners can, comfortably, accommodate a caravan plus, also, three/four average sized cars. From the driveway steps lead down to a landscaped foregarden with patio area over where the property itself is approached.

EXTENSIVE SOUTH WEST FACING REAR GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens are truly only fully appreciated by personal inspection and are very pretty banking down to meet adjoining wooded wetland beyond, creating a particularly nice back drop. The grounds also include a large timber store/garage style building - see photo. In addition there is also a PADDOCK - this area having a separate gated access off an un-named Lane, the entrance to which is located directly off the main road near to the Wharf Inn Public House.

AGENTS NOTE ONE
A \"Walk Worcestershire\" Public right of way inter-sects the paddock and gardens - this namely called the 'Ombersley Village Walk'. We understand from our vendor/clients that this route is very rarely used but, nevertheless prospective purchasers should be aware of its existence. There are also Worcestershire County Council signs down by the separate access gate.

AGENTS NOTE TWO
We understand that there is a Dough Bank Residents Association to ensure the maintenance/up-keep of the private communal access road.

SERVICES
Mains water and electricity is connected. Oil fired central heating. Drainage is to a private system.
