3 Bedroom Semi-Detached House for sale in Stratford-upon-Avon

1 3 1

Positioned in the centre of this charismatic North Cotswolds village and combining the innate character and charm of a late Victorian cottage with the contemporary refinements of modern day living, this semi-detached two storey, double fronted, three bedroom country retreat exudes an abundance of style which must be experienced first hand to be fully appreciated.

The property has a through living room with a homely wood burning stove formed in open plan with a garden room area and direct access on to the south easterly facing enclosed rear garden. The well fitted kitchen has ample room for a dining table and picture windows, also with French doors leading out on to the garden.

At first floor level there is a four piece bathroom suite with a roll top bath and a separate shower cubicle with a rain shower head.

Other character features include some stripped pine floors and doors, exposed brickwork, several original fireplaces and a particularly beautiful well stocked antique walled garden. More contemporary refinements include gas fired central heating and many renewed windows with sealed unit double glazed panes.

Another notable feature of the property includes a double garage which is located only a few yards away on the other side of Ilmington Road with a studio or party room on the first floor. Planning permission was granted in February 2022 to increase the height and renew the roof and create a kitchen and shower room on the ground floor (Stratford District Council reference 21/03715/FUL).

Only to be described further in superlatives the property is located less than 100 yards from one of the most respected gastropubs in the whole of the North Cotswolds; The Fuzzy Duck. Armscote is located close to the junction of the A3400 and the A429 (the Fosseway) allowing ease of access to Moreton in Marsh where there are rail links to London Paddington and the traditional market town of Shipston on Stour, Chipping Campden and of course Stratford-upon-Avon.
