Heart of England, heart of market town

120sq mtr 3 bed, 2 bath home. 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 by car 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.
