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.
There are excellent communications to the national motorway network (M40 J15 and M42), whilst Stratford upon Avon railway station has trains on the North Warwick line to Birmingham (Moor Street and Snow Hill). Birmingham International Airport and future HS2 Hub are within easy driving distance. For those commuting to London, Honeybourne railway station on the newly upgraded Cotswold Line, lies approximately 2 miles to the south, with trains to Oxford, Reading (for Heathrow Airport) and London (Paddington).
The property, although requiring some updating in places, would, it is felt, offer purchasers the potential for either full time residency, holiday letting/AirBNB, or a ‘lock up and leave’ property for those wishing to avail themselves of the local facilities, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre and the North Cotswold Hills AONB. Early inspection is recommended.
With access both from the wide verge and path to the front and also from the rear courtyard, the property is approached up steps to
Timber panelled front door with glazed side screens, opening into the
