The entrance hall is generous in size, with exposed engineered-oak flooring throughout and an attractive wooden staircase to the first floor, with a large understairs storage cupboard, tall coat cupboard and the original pantry
The contemporary fitted kitchen is the showpiece of the cottage, with the kitchen extension creating a flood of natural light, with a floating post and cantilevered roof, so that the whole aperture of the room is opened up by bi-folding glazed doors, leaving no obstruction between the room and the garden for the ultimate indoor-outdoor living, with an abundance of space for a central island, dining table and chairs and large sofa, if required
The family kitchen offers a stylish finish throughout, with a range of highly contemporary wall and floor units, including an attractive central island incorporating a breakfast bar and large storage drawers, as well as wooden surfaces and a ceramic counter-top sink.

SITUATION
Admington is a small attractive village in South Warwickshire, on the fringe of the Cotswolds and within sight of the Gloucestershire border
It neighbours the Cotswold village of Ilmington, named the Sunday Times’ best place to live in the Midlands, and seventh in the whole of the UK, in 2025, and is within easy reach of the historic towns of Shipston-on-Stour, Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Campden, Moreton-in-Marsh and Broadway, placing the very best of Cotswold and Shakespeare Country on the door step
It retains a peaceful rural character, centred on traditional cottages and surrounding farmland
While the village itself has limited facilities, everyday amenities, shops, and healthcare are available in all nearby towns
Schooling is well served locally, with well-respected grammar and secondary schools in the catchment area, including King Edward VI Grammar (Stratford-upon-Avon) and Stratford Girls Grammar School, Shipston High Street, Chipping Campden School, as well as Stratford Preparatory School
Admington also has historic interest, with links to older manor estates and a long-established agricultural heritage that still shapes its landscape today
Good train station with services to London Paddington from Moreton-in-Marsh (11 miles)

OUTSIDE
The secluded wraparound garden offers an oasis of calm, with a plethora of plantings and trees, with numerous David Austin roses, Hidcote lavender and Sarah Raven bulbs. There are two sections of lawn, interspersed by a small brook running through the middle of the garden, with an idyllic ornamental pond, gravelled terrace and wooden pergola with large and spectacular wisteria vines
To the rear of the garden, hidden behind extensive shrubbery, lies an adaptable area, ready to be shaped into extended lawn, new planting beds, or a quiet garden retreat, leading to the contemporary wooden shutted garden shed with power and light. Connected to the garden shed, currently used as an outdoor gym, is an additional space with bi-folding doors, power and light, ideal as a home office/studio, if required
The west-facing front gardens are predominantly laid to lawn, with attractive swirling box hedging to the immediate front of the cottage, with a gravelled path leading to the gravelled driveway for several vehicles, with an excellent external lighting system and a top of the range car charger installed
