Charming double fronted home in sought after location
A striking Grade II listed, double fronted four bedroom home situated in a prominent position on one of Shipston-on-Stour's most desirable streets. Expertly renovated throughout, this outstanding period property benefits from a private south facing garden, a detached home office and is offered for sale with no onward chain.
Having undergone an extensive programme of refurbishment, the property seamlessly blends modern comforts with an abundance of original features, preserving its historic charm while catering to contemporary living.
The welcoming entrance hall, finished with attractive oak herringbone flooring, provides an elegant introduction to the home. Decorative archways lead through to two generously proportioned reception rooms, both enjoying natural light from large bay windows. One of these rooms features a reclaimed stone fireplace and flows through an archway with steps up to the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room. Designed with practicality and style in mind, the kitchen is fitted with quartz worktops, an induction hob, Quooker tap, electric oven, integrated dishwasher and a central island providing additional workspace and informal dining.
Retaining much of the property's original character, a flagstone floor continues through to the rear of the house, where there is a cloakroom, separate utility room and access to the cellar, which offers excellent wine storage or useful additional space.
A wide staircase with an exquisitely restored mahogany banister rises to the bright and spacious first floor landing, creating an ideal area for reading or home working. The principal bedroom enjoys the benefit of an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath, while two further double bedrooms are served by a contemporary shower room. Occupying the second floor is a further double bedroom, rich in character with exposed beams.
A private side passage provides access to the rear garden and detached home office/studio, making it particularly well suited to remote working or creative pursuits. The south facing courtyard offers a delightful space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with steps leading up to an additional lawned garden. Permit parking is available on Sheep Street at a cost of £25 per vehicle per annum.
Throughout the property, exposed timbers, original stonework and carefully preserved period details enhance its warmth and character, complemented by stylish panel radiators that blend sympathetically with the home's historic features. Having been cherished by the same owners for more than 40 years, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally restored period residence that successfully combines timeless elegance with modern day convenience.
