Description

Stretton on Fosse is an attractive village situated on the edge of the Cotswolds on the Gloucestershire/Warwickshire border, and just inside Warwickshire in an area of special landscape value on the edge of the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Within the village there is a local pub and parish Church, with the market towns of Shipston on Stour, Moreton in Marsh and Chipping Campden close by offering good local shopping, schooling and recreational facilities. 

The local centres of Stratford upon Avon, Cheltenham, Oxford, Banbury, Warwick and Leamington Spa are accessible. There is a mainline station at Moreton in Marsh with services south to Oxford and London (Paddington).

The Old Plough was most probably in existence at the time of the Civil War (1642-1645) and it is likely to have been occupied by Prince Rupert and his officers when they were leading royalist troops billeted in the village before the battle of Edge Hill. 
The original property is understood to have consisted of a cottage, brewhouse, stable barn and yard, with the cottage, brewhouse and stable barn now all joined into one property, with the vendor incorporating the stable barn to the house. 

The house, which would benefit from updating and modernisation, is a wonderful family home offering spacious and well-proportioned accommodation with three/four reception rooms and five double bedrooms.

Features within the property include a fine inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and timbers, vaulted ceiling to the dining hall, oak-boarded flooring and part galleried landing.

In addition, there is off-road parking for two/three cars to the front and a principally lawned garden  to the back.
