This cottage on School Lane, Stratford St. Mary, is a beautifully presented detached home offering thoughtfully arranged accommodation across two floors. Blending characterful charm with practical modern living, the property provides generous reception space, four well-proportioned bedrooms and a welcoming layout ideal for both everyday life and entertaining. With off-road parking, a garage and an enclosed rear garden, the cottage enjoys a private setting within this sought-after village location.

The property is set back from School Lane behind mature hedging, giving a good degree of privacy from the road. A brick-paved driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to the attached garage, creating a practical and well-screened frontage.
Once inside, the ground floor accommodation is both welcoming and practical, offering a natural flow between formal reception rooms and the open-plan living space to the rear. A generous reception hall provides an immediate sense of space and leads to a well-appointed study, ideal for home working, together with a cloakroom and a useful boot room. A separate utility room sits discreetly off the entrance hall, keeping day-to-day tasks neatly contained.
The heart of the home unfolds in an impressive kitchen, dining and family space designed very much with modern living in mind. The kitchen is fitted with contemporary cabinetry and integrated appliances, arranged around a central island that provides additional preparation space and informal seating. Skylights above and wide glazed doors draw in natural light, while the open layout allows for both relaxed family time and larger gatherings. From here, doors open directly onto the garden terrace, creating an easy connection between inside and out.
Complementing this space is a separate living room offering a relaxed setting for evenings or more formal entertaining.
On the first floor, the principal bedroom is a generous double room with ample space for wardrobes and additional storage, enjoying a pleasant outlook and a calm, neutral finish. It benefits from its own en-suite bathroom, providing privacy, comfort and convenience.
Three further bedrooms offer flexibility to suit a range of needs, whether it be a children’s bedrooms, guest accommodation or a further home office if required. Each room is thoughtfully presented and well laid out, making the most of the available space.
The family bathroom is well positioned to serve the remaining bedrooms and offers a bright, comfortable space designed with everyday practicality in mind. Cleanly presented and easy to maintain, it provides a calm setting suited to both busy mornings and more relaxed routines at the end of the day.
The garden to the rear is enclosed and designed for ease of maintenance, with a paved terrace extending directly from the kitchen and family area. This provides an ideal space for outdoor dining and entertaining, with a level lawn beyond offering room for children to play or for keen gardeners to personalise further.
Established boundaries and mature planting help create a sheltered setting, making the garden a natural extension of the living space during the warmer months.
