Introduction - 1 Owlets End is a spacious barn conversion, a traditional red brick and tile former threshing barn, converted in the 1990s, being the end property (albeit terraced) in the charming hamlet of Barton.
Only a short drive to the east is Stratford upon Avon, the world renowned home of The Bard, William Shakespeare, has a wide range of shops, pubs, restaurants and cafes, together with the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and ‘The Other Place’. Locally, the riverside village of Bidford on Avon has a number of small supermarkets, chemist and other shops, together with pubs and restaurants. Some 6 miles to the north is the market town of Alcester, which has a wide range of independent shops and a Waitrose supermarket, whilst to the south lie The Cotswold Hills, Chipping Campden (5 miles) and Broadway (6 miles).
There is excellent walking in the area along both public and permissive pathways through the Heart of England Forest. In the village itself is the characterful, historic Cottage of Content Grade II listed public house.
