This incredibly impressive Georgian house is without doubt one of Shipston-on-Stour’s finest. Stunning period features, such as high ceilings, generous sized rooms and large windows, combined with the stunning garden and fantastic location make this the perfect family home. The entrance hall sets the scene perfectly for the property with a beautiful original encaustic tiled floor stretching all the way through the ground floor hallway to the wonderful main staircase. The kitchen is at one end of the house, with terracotta tiles, an aga set into a magnificent archway, and lovely views over the rear garden. There is also a very useful utility room leading right off it. On the ground floor there are no fewer than four reception rooms, each with their own charm and character. The main living room has a grand marble fireplace and French doors leading out into the garden, the dining room is at the front of the house and is able to be incorporated, or closed off, from the second, cosy living room, complete with its own log burner. There is a further study to complete the ground floor.
Upstairs there are seven bedrooms and three large bathrooms, two of which are en-suite. There is also a large cellar.

Outside

The garden is quite unique for a townhouse as it sits on the edge of town so benefits from countryside views over the river Stour. A raised heated swimming pool, complete with its own summerhouse, is at one side of the garden with the river at the far end. Stone steps lead down to the paving landing stage to the river Stour. A private bridge leads over the river into a stunning garden/orchard area with mature trees, making it the
perfect spot for entertaining during the long summer days. Off street parking is found down the side of the house via a gated driveway. There is a garage/car port for several cars and a large storage room, perfect for bicycles and gardening equipment.

Situation

The house is right in the heart of Shipston-on-Stour, a small town in Warwickshire, England, situated on the banks of the River Stour. It lies in the northern part of the Cotswolds, about 10 miles south of Stratford-upon-Avon. The town has an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants and pubs whilst also boasting both primary and secondary schools, a medical centre, and several sports clubs. Events such as The Shipston Proms provide wonderful entertainment for the local community during two weeks of the summer. The town has a number of attractive historic buildings, including St Edmund's Church which dates back to the 13th century, and the High Street retains much of its past character.
