“The Cottage on the Hill” is a stunning double-fronted residence positioned just as described on a hill, inviting panoramic views within the pretty village of Loxley, just three miles from Stratford-upon-Avon town centre.

The village has a thriving community and has one of the oldest churches in England, as well as a fine public house, The Fox Inn, well worth a visit! There is a primary school and, in addition to the lovely walks in the area, there is a recreation ground and playing fields. Stratford-upon-Avon is internationally known as the birthplace of William Shakespeare and home to the recently refurbished world-famous Royal Shakespeare Theatre. In addition to other historic properties, the town offers a choice of shopping as well as a wide range of restaurants, inns, coffee houses, excellent schools, and first-class sporting and recreational amenities. Transport communications are excellent with easy access to London and Birmingham by motorway network, with M40 junctions 13 and 15 about 6 miles away, as well as Warwick Parkway Railway Station. Warwick, Leamington Spa and Banbury are all within easy reach.

The current owners proudly present their home to an exquisite standard and immaculate finish. It is believed that the property dates back to the 19th century as a small cottage, which is now unrecognisable, standing as a thoughtfully extended five-bedroom detached residence. This family home offers a perfect blend of convenience and comfort, old and new, with its mixture of clean lines and rich and neutral tones.

You will instantly fall in love with this beautiful elevated private spot, with its double fronted accommodation that is in drenched natural light with most rooms enjoying a dual or even triple aspect. The owners have lovingly improved their home since purchasing it 12 years ago. We believe any owner would be lucky to acquire such an impressive home inside and out.

The property is approached via a tarmacadam sloping driveway offering access to the detached double garage with electric up and over doors as well as a side door and allowing ample parking for 4-6 vehicles. The front garden is planted with colourful flowers and plants, together with small trees, creating a pleasing kerbside appeal.

The warm entrance allows access to both the ground-floor accommodation and the first-floor gallery landing. There are many little touches to be noted on arrival, of which the latch timber doors, the oil-fired Aga, and the stylish fittings are just a few.

Positioned on the left of the hallway, accessed via double opening timber doors, is the spacious sitting room with an abundance of windows and a focal point of a log burner, ready for the cosy nights and a film. The study is positioned on the right-hand side of the property with a deep sill window.
