Droitwich (known as Droitwich Spa), means 'Place of Salt', and gets its name from when the Romans occupied the area and exported the then valuable commodity. The Victorians took advantage of the natural brine and developed the town into a fashionable spa. This small town is set in the heart of the rolling Worcestershire countryside, just seven miles from the city of Worcester and around 23 miles from all the amenities of the biggest conurbation outside London - Birmingham. The estate agents in Droitwich have a good variety of houses for sale, including modern terraced houses, substantial detached Victorian houses, Grade II listed properties, spacious detached bungalows and developments of family houses in popular residential areas. There are also flats for sale in Droitwich, including new developments of retirement apartments close to the town centre, and for commuters, there luxury apartments in purpose built blocks close to the railway station.
