Banbury Road, Stratford-upon-Avon, CV37 7HY

An exceptional 1930s detached home, offering superb living space, magnificent private gardens and a beautiful position in one of Stratford-upon-Avon’s most sought-after south-of-the-river locations.

Set back from the road behind a generous block-paved driveway, providing ample parking and the added benefit of an EV charging point, the house makes an immediate impression with its very pretty pastel blue-grey façade, mature hedging, established planting and charming gabled oak-framed porch.

The porch is not only an attractive architectural feature, but also a wonderfully practical entrance space, with room for seating and storage before stepping through into the main hallway.

Once inside, the entrance hall gives an immediate sense of the home’s character. A traditional balustrade staircase rises to the first floor, while the hall itself feels light, welcoming and well-proportioned, with good ceiling height and the solid, timeless quality so often associated with homes of this period. A downstairs WC is also located off the hall.

The accommodation is arranged with family life very much in mind, offering three reception rooms, four double bedrooms and four bathrooms. The layout provides an excellent balance of formal and informal living space, centred around a generous kitchen/dining room which opens directly onto the magnificent gardens stretching away to the rear.

To the front of the house are two flexible reception rooms. One is currently used as an office/studio, making it ideal for working from home or creative use, while the other would make a wonderful snug, complete with a cosy wood burner, or an excellent children’s playroom.

The main living room is a particularly impressive room, generously proportioned and flooded with natural light from windows to both the side and rear. French doors open directly onto the garden terrace, creating a beautiful flow between inside and out, and a wonderful connection with the gardens beyond.

The kitchen/dining room is spacious, with plenty of room for dining, and enjoys direct access out to the garden terrace. Fitted with a range of units, granite work surfaces, a large central island and breakfast bar, it is both practical and sociable. There is a range-style cooker with gas hob, integrated appliances and plenty of preparation and storage space, making it ideal for family life and entertaining.

A separate utility room sits just off the kitchen, providing useful additional storage and laundry area.

Upstairs, there are four double bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The principal bedroom is complemented by an adjoining dressing room/study, adding excellent flexibility and working beautifully as a dressing area, private study, reading room or nursery. The bedroom itself also benefits from a stylish en suite shower room, finished with contemporary tiling, a walk-in shower, wash basin and WC.

There is a further good-sized double bedroom with a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden. This room also benefits from its own en suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding roll-top bath and walk-in shower.

A further excellent double bedroom has its own en suite bathroom, while the fourth double bedroom is served by a separate family bathroom. Together, this creates an exceptional layout for family life and visiting guests.

Gardens

The rear garden is a real highlight of the property and a rare find: generous, sunny and wonderfully private. Immediately behind the house is a large Travertine-tiled terrace, creating a superb space for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxing, with direct access from both the main living room and kitchen/dining room.

Beyond the terrace, the garden opens onto a generous lawn, framed by mature trees, hedging and beautifully established planting. It feels incredibly peaceful and private, a particularly rare quality given how close the property is to the town centre.

To the far end of the garden, there is a further leafy area with mature apple trees and a useful store/garage. This space could work beautifully as a children’s play area, quiet seating spot or even a productive vegetable garden or potting area, depending on how a buyer wished to use it.

It is a wonderful home and garden for family life, entertaining and everyday enjoyment, a rare combination of space, quality, character and charm, with generous driveway parking, EV charging, magnificent private gardens and a superb position in one of Stratford-upon-Avon’s most desirable locations.
