Seller Insight The approach along the driveway to our home is simply stunning. The gardens and setting just blew us away. We never tire of waking in the morning listening to all the birds singing and the sound of nature at its best. We were looking for somewhere where we could relax in peace and privacy, surrounded by countryside yet not to be isolated at the same time. So the location and ambience has been perfect. Also, there are countless dog walks and bridal paths literally on our doorstep and many welcoming cafes and pubs nearby with great food so we often pop out for lunch.” “Set in nearly 3 acres altogether, our garden is fully enclosed and very peaceful. It’s the perfect place to sit and watch beautiful sunsets. We have a wildlife area with lots of wildflowers and a large pond that is regularly visited by ducks and geese. Also, we often see deer in this part of the garden early in the morning! Doors open out from the kitchen to the patio area which is perfect for relaxing and entertaining, and we’ve enjoyed hosting many BBQs and get-togethers here with friends and family.” “Since we have lived here, we have made our house a beautiful home having refurbished and decorated throughout. We added a corner log burner which completely changed the way we used our sitting room, as well as replacing the old bathrooms and transforming the kitchen which has now become the central part of our home where, unless we are enjoying the garden, we spend a lot of our time during the day.” “With uninterrupted views of the garden and to the open fields and countryside beyond, our home is truly a magical place to live.”*

The location of the village is equidistant to Worcester (15 miles) and Stratford-upon-Avon (11 miles) making it uniquely placed for access to numerous commercial and historic towns and cities throughout the region.

Travelling to the capital by car is easiest via the M40 motorway junction at Warwick which is 19 miles distant. The Old Bull public house, nestling adjacent to the village green, is where William Shakespeare is reputed to have stopped on his journey to Worcester to collect his marriage certificate.
