Stratford Road, Bidford-On-Avon

Until recently, this splendid property was used for equestrian and dog kennelling purposes. The present owners have obtained a detailed planning consent (Ref: 23/00529/FUL) that allows for the demolition of the existing stone-built house and construction of a 2,000 sq. ft. dwelling including a separate double garage with room over (both of which are more particularly indicated and shaded red on the plan on 'Page 7' of these details). The consent also permits the demolition of the single storey stable buildings and former office/dog kennels to allow access through to the new build property and its garage.

In all, the site totals some 7.13 acres, which, even if developed in accordance with the planning approval, will leave a large area of pastureland, small parcel of woodland, substantial manège with excellent drainage and a range of stone-built outbuildings that, in recent years, have been used as a home office and games room.

A visit to the site is strongly recommended in order to fully appreciate all that this property has to offer and perhaps some interested parties would wish to seek amendments to the planning permission to satisfy their own requirements.

The property is situated midway between the villages of Bidford-on-Avon and Welford-on-Avon, and is within easy access of the A46, which, in turn, provides fast links to the M5, M6, M40 and M42 motorways. It lies just 5 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, which is renowned as the region's cultural centre, being the birth and burial place of the world renowned and celebrated playwright and poet, William Shakespeare, and thus, is the home of the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. There are an excellent range of shopping and recreational facilities in the town centre, as well as at the Maybird and Rosebird Centres, together with a number of quality restaurants and public houses. The area is well served by schools to suit all age groups, including public, grammar and private schools, for both boys and girls.
