House in Gloucestershire

About this property

Ideal for family gatherings, celebrations or get togethers with friends. Seating twelve easily in the lovely big farmhouse kitchen with an original Aga. The house is located outside the village of Stretton on Fosse on the main A429 Fosseway road, (which can be busy at Peak times) and is set in beautiful countryside, halfway between Moreton in Marsh and Shipston on Stour. Stow on the Wold, the Cotswolds major antiques centre is ten miles to the South, and Stratford upon Avon and its famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre is twelve miles to the North. Two public footpaths lead directly from the house; cross the road and join the footpath for a 15 minute walk across the fields to Stretton on Fosse and its well regarded village pub, or if a longer walk is on the cards, follow the trail up the hill behind the house with stunning views leading to Ditchford Frairy, or further on to the pretty village of Todenham.
