Drakes Broughton

A well-connected Worcestershire village with a strong community feel, excellent schooling, and easy access to Pershore, Worcester and the M5.

Overview

Drakes Broughton is a highly regarded village to the east of Pershore, popular with families, professionals and downsizers alike. It offers a balanced blend of village life, countryside setting and practical connectivity. With a thriving community, respected primary school and quick access to the Vale of Evesham and the wider Midlands, it consistently attracts demand for quality family homes.

Property Market Overview

The village is characterised by modern family housing, detached and semi-detached homes, and a smaller supply of bungalows and period cottages on the fringes. Values typically sit comfortably above the Worcestershire village average, driven by school catchment, amenities and commuting appeal. Well-presented four-bedroom detached houses are particularly sought after, while properties with gardens backing onto open fields or views towards Bredon Hill command a premium. Demand remains resilient, especially for sensibly priced homes with good space and energy efficiency.

Commuting and Connections

Drakes Broughton is exceptionally well placed for transport. Pershore railway station is only a few minutes away, offering direct services to Worcester, Cheltenham and London Paddington via Oxford. The A44 and A4104 provide straightforward road access to Worcester, Evesham and the M5 at Junction 7, making the village popular with commuters working across the Midlands and beyond.

Lifestyle and Amenities

At the heart of the village is a strong sense of community. Drakes Broughton Primary School is a major draw and highly regarded locally. Amenities include a village shop, post office, pub, sports fields and active clubs and societies. The surrounding countryside provides excellent walking and cycling, with Bredon Hill and the Avon Valley close by. Pershore adds further depth with independent shops, supermarkets, cafes and a popular leisure centre.
