Armscote, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire, CV37

Corn Mill Cottage is a charming, detached property situated in the rural, south Warwickshire village of Armscote, close to the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The property has been sympathetically refurbished by the current owners and effortlessly blends traditional character and charm with modern-day living.

The front door opens to a delightful entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. Doors on the right open to a magnificent drawing room with feature fireplace housing a wood burner and a large window offering views to the drive and the village beyond.

The entrance hall continues to a stylish, dual-aspect kitchen/breakfast room, which benefits from an extensive range of wall-mounted and base units sat beneath a white granite worktop, a central island, space for a dining table, and a variety of integrated appliances.

A door opens to a WC, and sliding doors open to a bright and airy dining room with double doors leading to the south-facing courtyard garden to the rear. The dining room flows into a large utility room, a WC, and a shower room that services the beautiful principal bedroom on the ground floor, complete with a dressing room and large windows that offer stunning easterly views to the courtyard.

The ground floor further extends to another spacious room that is currently used as a cinema room but offers flexibility for another use if required.

Stairs from the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, which provides access to two generous bedrooms, both complete with modern en suite shower rooms, and two further spacious bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as an office and a family bathroom. All the bedrooms offer different aspects of the beautiful courtyard garden and village roofscape beyond.

The patio is accessed via the double doors in the dining room, which leads to a stone and gravel pathway that provides access to the side of the property and the driveway.
