2 The Farmhouse On The Green, Upper Quinton, Stratford Upon Avon The Farmhouse on the Green An absolutely unique and very charming property with a wealth of historical features, this beautiful home offers six good sized bedrooms, comfortable and adaptable living space, and a spacious traditional farmhouse kitchen. Situated in the quiet village of Upper Quinton, the house benefits from a large plot on the edge of The Green, with beautiful views towards Meon Hill and plenty of outdoor space. This exceptional house is an absolute treasure trove of quirky features and extraordinary historical details, but succeeds at the same time in being a warm, welcoming and spacious family home. The interior of the property makes an immediate impact, with its beautiful original timbers throughout, flagstones to the ground floor, leaded light windows and areas of exposed stone walling. The kitchen has red quarry tiled flooring, and retains the substantial original inglenook fireplace as well as a walk-in pantry and feature cupboard providing additional storage. The four door oil-fired Aga also provides the hot water supply, Behind the kitchen, opening to the rear courtyard, is a long utility area/ boot room, with a small cloakroom off having wc and wash hand basin and housing the Eurostar oil-fired central heating boiler. The dining room can be accessed directly from the utility area, so there is a good flow throughout the ground floor rooms which can be adapted to suit various uses. The main Drawing Room has a carved oak window seat and windows overlooking the Green; the brick inglenook fireplace has a built in woodburner stove and there are numerous interesting features including a small glass-fronted display section of the original wattle and daub walling. Solid oak doors lead to the Dining Room and to a further Sitting Room, both having splendid flagstone flooring, exposed beams, and other period features. The Sitting Room has a stone fireplace and carved oak window seat. Leaded windows between the Dining Room and Drawing Room provide extra light to these already bright and cosy rooms. The staircase to the first floor leads to an open landing with a window overlooking the rear gardens. There is a feature stone fireplace, and fitted eaves storage. Three bedrooms and the family bathroom lead directly off this landing. The master bedroom is a generously proportioned room and has its own en suite shower room and a separate dressing room with built in storage. The two other bedrooms on this floor are very pretty single rooms which share access to one of the staircases leading to the second floor, offering various possible combinations of bedroom and study space. The family bathroom has oak flooring and a smart white suite comprising freestanding bath with ball and claw feet, low level wc, and twin circular wash hand basins on an oak plinth, very much in keeping with the style of the house. There is an airing cupboard housing the cylinder with electric immersion heater. Access to the second floor is via two staircases; one, shared by the two smaller bedrooms on the first floor (but with the option to close access from either side), leads to a self-contained bedroom. The other, rising from the main first floor landing, leads to two further bedrooms. These three rooms, despite the restrictions of the roof space, are all generously sized and well-proportioned.

3 Outside The house enjoys a 'picture postcard' setting on the village Green, with a large lawned foregarden, and has plenty of parking space on the gravelled driveway. Timber gates provide access to the secure rear courtyard, which has attractive traditional tiling and provides further parking space. A detached brick outbuilding facing the house would be suitable for conversion to additional accommodation subject to the necessary planning consents. The large garden beyond is mostly laid to level lawn with planted borders, raised vegetable patches, fruit trees, and a culvert with its original stone bridge.
