Clopton House Farm is positioned in an incredibly special location, on the
fringes of Stratford - upon - Avon, surrounded by 60 hectares of nature reserve
owned by the council. It is a rare to find a property with land and stables so
close to the town. Believed to be dated principally from the 19th century with
later additions, it previously formed part of the curtilage of Clopton House
(National Heritage) before the property was divided.
The well - balanced accommodation is arranged over two floors and includes a
self - contained wing. A charming front door sourced from a local church opens
into the entrance hallway with original fireplace and staircase (thought to
have originated from the old Stratford Police station) rising to the first
floor. There are three reception rooms located off the hallway including a
dining room with original fireplace and a dual aspect. Steps rise to a
beautifully appointed drawing room with dual aspect, exposed beams, views out
to the garden and an open brick fireplace. A further sitting room overlooks
the patio and from here, a door leads to the wing of the house, which could be
turned into self - contained accommodation. From here, there is a study, cloaks
cupboard and a further reception room, with sliding glazed doors opening on to
the large south facing patio.
Located on the opposite side of the house is the kitchen, which features a
dual aspect, tiled flooring, granite worktops, Belfast sink and integrated
appliances include a Rangemaster cooker, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. A
utility lies just off the kitchen with stable door and space for a washing
machine and separate dryer.
The bedroom accommodation upstairs works very well. Each room is a large
double and ideal for a family. Principal bedroom with triple aspect, built - in
wardrobes and an en suite shower room. There are four further double bedrooms,
two with built - in wardrobes, and a generous family bathroom.
The grounds are particularly special, totalling 6. 22 acres, including formal
gardens and a large paddock. A detached brick - built double garage has parking
outside for a couple of cars, adjoining this is a large tarmac parking area
providing parking for several cars. From here, a five - bar gate opens to the
garden allowing car access, via a further gate, to the stables and paddock
beyond. There are two stable blocks, the first with three brick stables, all
with electricity, and a wooden log store. A further stable block has three
wooden stables. There is scope for the brick stables to be created into
ancillary accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consents), The
garden is mainly laid to lawn with several seating areas, including a pretty
walled area with raised beds and a pergola seating area. A large enclosed
patio, accessed directly from the house, is ideal for entertaining. There are
a number of established trees including walnut and horse chestnut, and the
owner has added to the existing orchard with a variety of young fruit trees.
The paddock is partly post and rail fenced, has its own access a newly planted
spinney, and a field shelter.
A footpath runs along the north - west boundary of the paddock, out of sight of
the house. The land could be suitable for hobby farming or ecological use.
Clopton House Farm is situated to the west of Clopton House, a 17th century
mansion which has been converted to houses and apartments, situated in a park
land setting just north of Stratford - upon - Avon town centre.
