The Cottage is Grade II listed, with Tudor origins
and an elegant Victorian extension, and was
formerly the ‘Grace and Favour House’ to the
Alscot Park Estate. The property is beautifully
presented and retains many traditional features
including exposed beams, wooden and stone
floors, sash windows and open fireplaces.
The property has an excellent balance of
accommodation arranged over three floors.
On the ground floor are four reception rooms
all with fireplaces. In the centre of the house is
the large, fully fitted Mark Wilkinson kitchen/
breakfast room with French doors leading to the
garden terrace, perfect for outdoor entertaining.
A door leads to the spacious utility/boot room
and pantry with extensive storage. Accessed
from the hall is the fitted cellar.
The bedroom accommodation is spread over
three floors and includes the principal bedroom
with luxurious en-suite bathroom. Across the
landing is bedroom 2, currently used as a
dressing room, with extensive wardrobes. At
the back of the house is the family bathroom
and bedroom which is also en-suite. A staircase
rises to bedroom 4 and occasional bedroom
5. Attached to the house is a self-contained
annexe with bedroom, bathroom, fully fitted
kitchen and gym/living area.

The house is approached through electric
gates forming part of an ‘in and out’ driveway,
and there is ample parking in front of the
triple garage and workshop. The property is
surrounded by a beautifully kept and private
wall enclosed garden which is mainly laid to
lawn and divided into ‘rooms’. A private garden
abuts the rear of the house with a variety of
mature trees and well planted borders. Adjacent
to the house is a terrace with double French
doors opening form the kitchen/breakfast room.
There is an orchard with apple, plum and pear
overlooked by the annexe. There is atmospheric
garden lighting to both front and rear gardens.

The village, unspoiled by new developments,
is in the heart of the Conservation Area. Many
of the properties belong to the Alscot Estate
and the village is well maintained with a strong
community, and includes St Mary’s church, the
village hall and village shop. There is access
onto an extensive network of footpaths and
bridle ways over the Alscot Estate. The estate
owned pub and farm shop in Alderminster and
the Alscot Business Park provide good further
local amenity. Stratford-upon-Avon is just 4
miles away providing for most leisure, education
and shopping facilities including a Waitrose
store. Warwick Parkway and Moreton-in-Marsh
have rail services into London and the North.
