Description - Stokes House is a beautiful and deceptively spacious Grade II Listed townhouse situated in the heart of the popular market town of Shipston on Stour. Dating back to 1715 with later additions, the property is mainly built of local lias stone under a stone and tiled roof with brick ridge and end stacks. Originally a private dwelling the property subsequently became a public house, The Bell Inn, and later a bank before returning to its original status as a private home.
The current owners, who have owned the property since 1985, have meticulously maintained and renovated the property to an extremely high standard providing contemporary refinements whilst maintaining a wealth of period charm including exposed timbers/beams and flagstone flooring, which offers the opportunity to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a character property within walking distance of the bustling town square.
The accommodation itself briefly comprises: five bedrooms, three reception rooms, four bath/shower rooms, kitchen/breakfast room with Aga oven, a cellar, an enclosed south-east facing walled garden, separate garden store and home office. Internal inspection of this unique and historic character townhouse is highly recommended.
Agents note: Parking permits for Sheep Street residents are available from the local council at a cost of £25 pa.
Planning permission (Ref: 19/01450/FUL dated 12/09/2019) exists to raise the roof of the existing south wing and install a new dormer window to house a dressing room and bathroom. Further details can be obtained from the selling agent.
