| Description: |
Dating back to 1601, this stunning Grade II listed Georgian property
has been decorated and furnished to a high standard, carefully
blending modern conveniences whilst retaining an elegance befitting
the period. Interior designs by Laura Ashley, it boasts over 3,500
square feet of living space - perfect for family get-togethers
and parties. The enclosed rear garden is landscaped, with two
patio areas and a wonderful ornamental koi pond (fitted with safety
grid), which is illuminated by night. There is also a play area
for children and a small fenced-off pets corner, with rabbits.
Adjoining the caretaker's cottage, it is set in a quiet backwater,
close to the heart of Evesham, with its picturesque abbey, and
half a mile from good fishing spots along the banks of the River
Avon. Stratford-upon-Avon, home to Shakespeare, is just 12 miles
away. There are many National Trust properties nearby, including
Ragley Hall, Tithe Barn, Hidcote Manor, Hailles Abbey with Broadway
Country Park and golf center just 5 miles away. Cheltenham 10
miles, Worcester 15 miles, Chipping Campden 8 miles and Broadway
3 miles. Tennis, horse riding, golf, fishing, mountain biking
and swimming locally. The N.E.C. only 25 minutes drive. Gourmet
restaurants and pubs, 5-minutes walk away.
