FAMMINGTON COURT “My husband grew up in the neighbouring village and remembers Fammington Court as an old agricultural barn,” says the current owner of this superb barn conversion. “His sister used to keep her horse in the neighbour’s livery and he had many happy memories of living in the area. When the barn came onto the market he seized the opportunity to convert it into the fantastic home - at that stage for himself - which would later become the host of many happy times for us both.”

Seller Insight When we met and life moved on to include a family,” the owners continue, “we made some substantial changes to the layout and have now created a fabulous family home. As our lives have changed, so the purpose of the house has changed with us. Perhaps one of the most versatile features we have created is a large annexe with 2-3 bedrooms and plenty of additional living space.” “The kitchen is quite simply beautiful,” say the owners, “at the centre of our home with its open plan space, and is where the family gather all the time. We spend many a happy evening socialising in the garden, which enjoys easy access from the kitchen. The property benefits from stunning views over the countryside and the whole garden is a real sun trap, so we are really spoilt for choice in terms of spaces to relax and enjoy our surroundings.” “Like so many locals we are staying in the area,” say the owners, “which is just so desirable and has everything on hand for a family. We have an award-winning restaurant down the road, a good selection of local shops, a Post Office, library, doctors’ surgery, dentist, petrol station, and several pubs in the nearby villages. Within 5 minutes we are in the centre of Stratford-upon-Avon, yet we are able to just walk out of the door and enjoy plenty of stunning dog walks without having to rely on a car.”
