Getting in on the action
Our new houses are just a few miles from all the facilities Stratford-upon-Avon can offer, including the Leisure Centre with a swimming pool and climbing wall, as well as a Sports Club, bike hire, and boat hire. If you're not pedalling, punting or pounding the footpaths, why not take in a show in the heart of Shakespeare country at one of the three Royal Shakespeare Company's theatres - the Swan, The Royal Shakespeare Theatre or The Other Place. If you'd like to see the latest blockbuster, head to the Everyman cinema. Delicious eateries, restaurants and pubs await - just choose whether you'd like a waterfront setting or a hidden gem snuggled in the historic cobbled streets.

Your new home has a community shop at its heart for daily newspapers and top up shops, and for socialising, there's the Mason's Arms for a drink, a meal or a takeaway. The Lower Clopton Farm Shop at Upper Quinton is a stone’s throw away, for lovely fresh local produce.
