Superb Stratford-upon-Avon homes for sale
Community, culture and countryside are three very good reasons why Stratford-upon-Avon is a great place to live. Then of course, it’s the birthplace of a certain Bard.
The buzzing market town of Stratford-upon-Avon has more than 800 years of history. Its welcoming café culture invites you to stop, relax and drink in the interesting surroundings. From fascinating Tudor buildings to cultural hotspots and the riverside (complete with the town’s famous swans), there’s a lot to explore.
Stratford-upon-Avon's most famous resident—William Shakespeare—has left an indelible mark on the Town. Five of his family homes can be visited in the town, with Anne Hathaway’s cottage being the most famous. The Royal Shakespeare Company puts on regular productions of the Bard’s plays, along with summer schools, talks and workshops.
There’s more than just Shakespeare here, though. The Stratford Playhouse showcases great comedy, theatre and music, with regular jazz and folk nights. The town has a great mix of shops and independent boutiques. Plus, there’s a Michelin-starred restaurant amongst its inviting mix of local eateries.
With its Central England location, Stratford-upon-Avon has good road links around Warwickshire and beyond. The nearby M40 connects the town to Birmingham in the north and Oxford to the south. Birmingham airport is 18 miles away. London is two hours away by train.
The surrounding area’s green spaces provide a real draw. From Stratford, the expansive Warwickshire countryside is on your doorstep, and the Cotswolds are a short drive away. There are quaint villages, heritage National Trust properties and wonderful country walks to enjoy.
