Annescote is a stylishly appointed contemporary family property with river frontage and outstanding views. One enters the house via a reception hall with double doors to the principal reception rooms and stairs to the first and lower ground floors.

The hub of this home is sure to be the stunning open-plan kitchen/breakfast room which flows effortlessly to the dining room. The kitchen area has a range of wall and base units beneath a granite worktop and a central island with integrated appliances, including a Range cooker, dishwasher, a combi microwave/oven, fridge, and freezer. There is ample space for seating, with bifold doors opening out to the rear terrace and a delightful wood-burning stove. The dining room is a wonderfully bright room with bi-folding doors opening out to the large terrace area and is an ideal entertaining space. There is a sizeable drawing room with beautiful feature fireplace housing a multi-fuel burner and double doors also opening on to the rear terrace. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a useful study, utility and cloakroom.

The first floor mirrors the exacting standard of finish to that on the ground. An enviable principal bedroom suite has a Juliette balcony allowing one to enjoy the vista over the river Avon, an en suite bathroom and a dressing room. There are three further en suite bedrooms, all of which have built-in wardrobes.

The lower ground floor adds significant flexibility to this well-appointed home, with a great games/family room, shower room and bi-fold doors to the lower terrace. This room would make an ideal teenage retreat and could also be used as guest accommodation.

Outside, the property is approached via a remote-controlled gated driveway providing parking for several cars and giving access to the double garage.

Annescote enters a league of its own to the rear, having the most impressive tiered landscaped rear gardens and grounds with riparian rights. The extensive lawned garden sweeps down to the river to a large decked area with a boat launch ramp, moorings and areas for entertaining and fishing.

A raised terrace accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room, dining room or drawing room has steps leading down to a second patio area and the formal gardens. The formal gardens are well-stocked with herbaceous beds with a three-zone semi-automatic irrigation system. A dining gazebo, beach hut, decked and patio areas allow one to follow the sun throughout the day and provide idyllic spots to sit and enjoy the sublime river views.

The house is situated in the hamlet of Blackcliffe which comprises a small collection of properties between the villages of Welford-on-Avon and Binton. The hamlet is surrounded by open countryside yet is still within easy reach of Stratford-upon-Avon with its Shakespearean heritage, schools and amenities.

The nearby village of Binton is attractive, with stone and brick properties, having a parish church and village hall. Welford-on-Avon and Bidford-on-Avon also have a range of shops, schools and other facilities.

There is an excellent range of state, grammar and private schools in the area to suit most requirements including Alcester grammar school, The Croft Prep School, Warwick Prep and Public School and grammar schools in Stratford-upon-Avon and Shottery.
