FLOOR LAYOUT PLAN
THIS PLAN IS FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY
It is not to scale and is intended to show the approximate relationship of one room to another, with an indication of the main fixtures and fittings.
Alcester is a delightful, historic, small Warwickshire market town offering excellent local shopping, sporting, recreational and educational facilities, yet set amidst attractive countryside close to the historic Ragley Hall estate and standing at the junction of the River Alne with the River Arrow.
The town lies within easy reach of many important Midlands centres, including Stratford upon Avon (8 miles), Redditch (6 miles), Evesham (10 miles), Birmingham City Centre (21 miles), the National Exhibition Centre and Birmingham International Airport (23 miles), Coventry (28 miles) and Junction 15 of the M40 motorway approximately 13 miles. In recent times, the town has been by-passed by the A435 and A46 trunk roads, which enable fast travelling throughout the Midlands region and beyond.
.
Beauchamp Cottage comprises a delightfully situated and substantial, individual detached country residence, which adjoins most attractive rolling farmland forming part of the historic Ragley Estate, yet lies only about one mile from Alcester town centre and all amenities. Originally comprising 17th Century period farmworkers' cottages and owned by the Ragley Estate, the property has, in more recent times, been substantially extended, modernised and refurbished to create an outstanding and well appointed, family residence which includes attached two bedroom annexe offering the opportunity to be used as a holiday let or long term let, subject to all necessary planning and consent, or for further accommodation for family members.
The gardens and grounds surrounding the property are approached via a private driveway and comprise formal gardens to the side and rear, landscaped paddocks and garaging for five cars plus tennis court and stables. In addition, the current owners rent the adjoining paddocks to the front of the property, also accessed from the private drive, offering further equestrian/livestock facilities.
