Inside
Step through the front door into a welcoming entrance hall, setting the scene for the rest of the house. To the front, the comfortable sitting room is filled with natural light from a lovely bay window and, thanks to its end-of-cul-de-sac position, enjoys a particularly private aspect, creating a relaxed and inviting space to unwind.

To the rear, the kitchen is super stylish and enjoys views out to the private garden. Newly refitted, it offers a range of classic units, generous work surfaces and attractive detailing, combining a timeless look with practicality. It flows naturally into a garden/dining room — a really sociable space for everyday meals and entertaining, with doors opening onto the garden and creating an easy connection between inside and out.

Bespoke sliding doors reveal a fabulous utility area, thoughtfully designed to keep everything neatly tucked away, while a downstairs W.C. off the hall completes the ground floor.

Upstairs
Upstairs are three well-proportioned bedrooms, each light and comfortable, with pleasant outlooks that give them a calm, relaxed feel. The principal bedroom benefits from its own en-suite shower room, and fitted wardrobes.

The remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for family life, guests or working from home, easily adapting as needs change. They are served by a well-appointed family bathroom, finished in a fresh, modern style.

Outside
The rear garden is a particularly lovely feature, thoughtfully arranged with a paved terrace directly off the house, ideal for sitting out or entertaining, with the lawn gently raised beyond. This change in level adds interest and definition, while mature trees and established planting create a wonderfully private, ornamental setting.

A standout addition is the detached timber garden studio, providing incredibly useful extra space, perfect for working from home, hobbies, a gym or simply a peaceful retreat away from the main house.

There is also useful side access to the garden along with an external water point, adding to the practicality of the space.

To the front, there is driveway parking together with a detached single garage, ensuring the practicalities work just as well as the lifestyle.

The Location – Shipston-on-Stour

Often referred to as the Gateway to the Cotswolds, Shipston-on-Stour is a historic South Warwickshire market town that offers a wonderful balance of character, culture and community. Perfectly positioned between the cultural charm of Stratford-upon-Avon and the rolling landscapes of the North Cotswolds, it provides an enviable lifestyle for those seeking the feel of country living while remaining well connected.

The town centre is vibrant and welcoming, with an appealing mix of independent shops, award-winning eateries, traditional pubs and cafés that create a lively yet relaxed atmosphere. Beyond its amenities, Shipston is especially known for its strong community spirit, with a wide variety of clubs, societies and activities that cater to all interests, alongside a popular programme of annual events including the much-loved Wool Fair, the buzzing Shipston Proms music festival, and regular craft markets and seasonal celebrations.
