Banbury Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 7HN

There are certain houses that rarely come to the market, and this is one of them. Set towards the highly sought-after town end of Banbury Road, just a short walk from the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, this substantial detached home occupies a wonderfully generous plot of approximately 0.27 acres.

Having remained within the same family for more than 50 years, this is a genuinely rare opportunity. The house has clearly been a much-loved family home and, while it would now benefit from updating, it offers excellent proportions, a beautiful mature garden and enormous scope for the next owners to create something really special.

The approach immediately gives a sense of the space on offer. A broad gated frontage is framed by mature trees, hedging and planting, with a sweeping block-paved driveway leading to the house and integral garage. There is already excellent off-road parking, with further potential to reconfigure the frontage if required.

Inside, a generous central hallway connects the ground floor beautifully, with doors leading to the living room, dining room, kitchen and downstairs cloakroom.

The living room (21'0" x 19'1") is a particularly generous and characterful space, wrapping around to the side to create two naturally defined areas. Multiple windows bring in plenty of natural light, while a stone fireplace forms an attractive focal point. The additional area to the side gives the room excellent flexibility and also connects through towards the kitchen, creating an easy flow through the ground floor.

The separate dining room (11'11" x 16'10") is another excellent size, with plenty of space for a substantial dining table and additional furniture. A large window looks out towards the rear garden, giving the room a lovely green outlook.

The kitchen (9'4" x 13'0") is currently arranged across two connected areas, creating a practical kitchen and utility-style layout with doors opening directly onto the rear terrace and garden. Subject to the necessary consents, there is obvious scope to reconfigure these areas together and potentially extend across the rear to create a fabulous open-plan kitchen, dining and family room, taking full advantage of the exceptional garden and the existing relationship with the living space.

The ground floor also includes a generous bathroom, separate WC and useful built-in storage.

Upstairs, the staircase rises to an airy, light-filled landing, giving a lovely sense of space. There are three good double bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en suite (10'2" x 12'0"), together with two further doubles (10'7" x 15'0") and (9'2" x 13'0"), one of which also has a wash basin, adding further flexibility. A smaller fourth bedroom (8'2" x 6'1") would work equally well as a child’s room, nursery, study or home office.

The first floor also includes a family bathroom and separate WC. It is a bright, spacious and adaptable layout that works well as it is, while offering plenty of scope to reconfigure the bedroom and bathroom arrangement into a more contemporary layout if desired.

The rear garden is one of the real highlights of the property. Developed and cared for over many years, it is wonderfully mature and richly planted, with an extensive collection of established shrubs, trees, flowering plants and traditional garden features creating a setting with real depth and character.

A paved terrace immediately behind the house provides a natural place for outdoor seating and entertaining, while paths lead beneath pergola structures and through densely planted borders into more private areas beyond. Further into the garden are broader lawned sections, a timber summerhouse, greenhouse and vegetable patch, all enclosed by mature hedging and trees that provide excellent privacy and screening.

To the front, the house sits well back behind its gated entrance and generous mature frontage, giving the property a real sense of space and privacy on arrival. The broad driveway leads to the integral garage, with established trees, lawn and planting softening the approach beautifully.

With its substantial accommodation, remarkable garden, generous 0.27-acre plot and exceptional position within easy walking distance of Stratford town centre, this lovely property offers a rare opportunity to create a truly special long-term family home.
