Located between the North Cotswolds and Stratford-upon-Avon this spacious and well presented Manor House offers a great combination of stylish comfort and character. The Manor House is Grade II Listed and built of stone under a slate roof. Situated in the heart of Shipston-on-Stour, it offers well proportioned and flexible family accommodation over three floors. It has retained many of its original features, whilst having been modernized internally over recent years. The result is beautifully styled, spacious accommodation, combining charming period features such as Georgian shutters, cornicing, sash windows and window seats, with contemporary living. The front door opens to an inner porch and generous entrance hall with wooden flooring giving access to the study and dining room at the front of the house. The kitchen has been recently extended to create a spacious kitchen/ breakfast room with lantern roof and French doors opening out on to the terrace and garden. There is also a separate utility room. The drawing room, with a working fireplace and marble surround, has French doors and full-length shutters leading out to the garden. A cloakroom completes the flow of the ground floor. From the inner hall at the base of the main stairs are steps leading down to the wine cellar and storage area. On the first floor is a spacious landing with two double bedrooms at the front of the house, both with wooden floors and window seats, a separate WC and a family bathroom with roll-top bath and limestone floor. The principle bedroom is at the rear of the house with an abundance of light through the bay window overlooking the garden, and benefits from built-in storage and an en-suite shower room. There are three further double bedrooms on the second floor, a shower room and a large studio/games room which offers flexible additional living space. From the studio a balcony looks out across the garden, over the rooftops to the hills beyond.

Shipston-on-Stour is a vibrant former market town situated in South Warwickshire and surrounded by undulating farmland. It has a predominantly Georgian High Street and Market place which benefits from being away from the through traffic. Sheep Street is a mainly residential street just off the main shopping area and contains a number of delightful period houses, many dating from the 18th Century. The town is a thriving local centre with a doctors’ surgery and small NHS community hospital, excellent independent local shops including delicatessen, wine merchant, florists, butcher and fishmonger, as well as a number of pubs and restaurants and recreational facilities, serving its own population and a number of surrounding villages.

The facade of the house is clad with spectacular wisteria and enclosed by iron railings. To the rear of the property is a walled garden providing privacy and a paved terrace which runs along the length of the house. This splendid entertaining space can be accessed from the orangery, utility room and drawing room. The walled garden is predominantly laid to lawn, with established borders and a variety of trees. Of particular note is a very productive Mulberry tree which is believed to be over 400 years old. Behind the rear wall is a double garage and additional off-street parking which are approached from Telegraph Street. A corner bothy provides further useful outdoor storage.
