Whatley Mews, Stratford-Upon-Avon, CV37

Property Description:

A truly individual five-bedroom detached home, combining the charm and character of a traditional country cottage with the comfort, efficiency and specification expected from a modern new build.

This exceptional ex-show home forms part of The Chancery, an attractive development in the sought-after village setting of Shottery, just outside Stratford-upon-Avon. What makes this home so special is immediately clear from the outside. With its beautiful traditional thatched roof, landscaped frontage and distinctive architectural style, it feels far removed from a standard modern house.

Inside, the character continues. The living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring exposed brickwork and a wood burning stove, creating a warm and inviting room that feels both stylish and full of personality. It is the sort of space that instantly gives the home a sense of maturity and atmosphere, something rarely found in a new build property.

The main kitchen, dining and family area is designed for modern living, offering excellent space for everyday family life, entertaining and relaxed weekend living. The upgraded ex-show home specification gives the property a polished finish throughout, while the layout has been carefully planned to balance open-plan living with more private rooms. A separate study provides an ideal work-from-home space, while the utility room adds the practicality required for a busy household.

The bedroom accommodation is equally generous. There are five well-proportioned bedrooms, supported by four bathrooms, making the home particularly well suited to larger families, visiting guests or those who simply want more space. The principal bedroom provides a lovely private retreat, while the remaining bedrooms offer flexibility for children, guests, dressing rooms or further home working if required.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden has been beautifully designed and maintained, offering an attractive and usable space that perfectly complements the style of the house. It feels private, established and ready to enjoy, with plenty of room for outdoor dining, family use and relaxed entertaining.

This is a rare opportunity to purchase a new home that does not feel like a typical new home. The thatched roof, cottage-inspired design, wood burning stove, exposed brickwork and upgraded show home finish combine to create something genuinely memorable.

Development Description:

The Chancery is a prestigious development of high-quality new homes located in Shottery, one of Stratford-upon-Avon’s most attractive and historically significant village settings.

Shottery offers a wonderful balance between countryside character and town convenience. Best known as the home of Anne Hathaway’s Cottage, the area has a strong sense of heritage and charm, while still being within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon’s shops, restaurants, theatres, schools and everyday amenities.

Stratford-upon-Avon itself is one of Warwickshire’s most desirable market towns, offering a rich mix of independent shops, national retailers, riverside walks, restaurants, cultural attractions and excellent schooling options. The surrounding Warwickshire countryside and the edge of the Cotswolds are also close by, making this an excellent location for those wanting space, scenery and lifestyle without feeling isolated.

For commuters, Stratford-upon-Avon railway station is less than 2 miles away, with services towards Birmingham and London Marylebone. Road links also provide access to Warwick, Leamington Spa, the wider West Midlands and the surrounding villages.

Nearby:

Shottery is a highly regarded village setting on the edge of Stratford-upon-Avon, offering a quieter, more characterful environment while keeping the town centre within easy reach.

Stratford-upon-Avon offers a superb range of amenities including shops, cafés, restaurants, supermarkets, leisure facilities, riverside walks and the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. The area is also well placed for access to local schools, countryside walks, nearby villages and wider Warwickshire attractions.

Anne Hathaway’s Cottage is one of the area’s best-known landmarks, adding to Shottery’s historic charm and giving the village a distinctive sense of place. For buyers looking for a home with character, setting and convenience, this location is a strong part of the appeal.

What We Love:

The thatched roof completely changes the feel of this home. It gives the property instant presence and a level of character you simply do not expect from a new build. Combined with the exposed brickwork, wood burning stove and upgraded show home finish, it feels warm, mature and properly individual.

We also love the balance of the layout. There is the large kitchen, dining and family space for everyday life, but also a separate living room, study and utility, so the house works practically as well as it looks. It is a proper family home, but with far more personality than most modern houses.

Parking - Double garage
