Heart of England, heart of market town

We discovered this fabulous small friendly market town in 2020, when house hunting. It is an idyllic location. Not too busy, as bypass put in 25+ years ago, but offerings so much. Our home was built in 2003, then completely remodeled by us, finishing in May 2021.

Our home offers private parking directly outside, a secure location. As you`ll see from the accompanying photos, the house is modern, with an open plan kitchen, diner & sitting room, opening into the garden room. This in turn overlooks the decked garden with summerhouse and gas bbq.

Within an easy 5 minute walk we have the library, Roman Museum, Waitrose supermarket, fish & chip shop, the High Street, with at least 5 pubs, numerous coffee shops, small restaurants and take aways. In addition first class butcher and amazing bakery. 5 minutes away is Hillers, a wonderful Farm Shop, with gardens & coffeehouse.

Then we are also only one minute away from the bus stop, for an easy journey with no parking, into Stratford-upon-Avon.
