Gospel Oak Cottage is a beautifully presented, detached family home close to the sought-after village of Snitterfield. The property dates to c.1850 and is a traditional brick construction, painted white, under a slate tile roof. The property has undergone extensive renovation and modernisation works including; fitting a new boiler, radiators, and carpets, alongside a stone paved patio to the rear and a kitchen replacement six years ago.

Beyond the beautiful oak front door with stained glass panels lies a welcoming entrance hall with a terracotta tiled floor and an exposed timber ceiling beam. An original timber door on the right opens to a spacious, dual-aspect living room with stunning, south-westerly views of the garden beyond. This flows into an elegant, triple-aspect dining room with an external door to the stone-paved patio, offering views of the surrounding garden. The kitchen, also accessed from the entrance hall through an original timber door, is generous in size and features beautiful south-easterly views over the rear garden and rolling fields beyond. The recently fitted kitchen includes an Elan oven, oak fitted units, an integrated fridge freezer, dishwasher and microwave, and a Belfast sink. This flows into the cosy snug to the right, which is currently used as a breakfast room with space for a large table, and includes a brick surround fireplace with wood burner and French doors leading to the patio and well-stocked rear garden, flooding the room with natural light. To the left of the kitchen is a utility room, with space for a washing machine and dryer, built-in storage and two doors: one opening to a tiled WC and the other, an external door opening to the patio and garden beyond.

Stairs in the entrance hall rise to a light and airy first-floor landing, with an ample Velux roof light, providing access to two storage cupboards in the eaves, a boiler cupboard, four double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The first floor comprises carpets throughout, except for the bathrooms, which are tiled, and original timber doors leading into each room. The impressive principal bedroom is located at the end of the landing. It offers a spectacular triple aspect of the garden and surrounding countryside, built-in wardrobes and a spacious, tiled en suite shower room. The three further bedrooms are generous doubles and are served by the family bathroom with a window to the rear.

The parking for the property is located opposite the property, on the other side of the road, and is accessed through a five-bar wooden gate which leads to a stone driveway with lighting and parking for multiple cars. Beyond this is a lawned area of the garden, bordered in part by a post and rail fence and in part by a mature hedge with various scattered trees.

Beyond the road and adjoining the house, the garden is a particular property feature. It extends to approximately 1 acre and is principally lawned and beautifully landscaped, with shaped herbaceous and shrub beds and, similarly to the area beyond the road, is bordered by a hedge to the south-easterly boundary and by post and rail fencing to the remaining boundary.

The flagstone patio, accessed via the closed French doors or the utility room's external door, is separated from the lawn by a brick retaining wall. Steps from the patio lead to the lawned garden and provide access to the large gazebo and the timber Summer House, currently used as a home office. The Summer House is connected to electricity and heating and enjoys panoramic garden views through double-glazed French doors and three large windows.


Gospel Oak Cottage is situated on the edge of the popular village of Snitterfield, with a charming village community. It is ideally located approximately 4 miles north of Stratford upon Avon, in the most attractive Warwickshire countryside.
