Stratford upon Avon is internationally famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare and home to the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and attracts almost four million visitors a year who come to enjoy its rich and diverse culture. Stratford is also a prosperous riverside market town which provides South Warwickshire with a wide range of national and local shopping, fine restaurants and inns, a good choice of schools in the state and private sector, and excellent sporting and recreational amenities. These include golf courses, swimming pool and leisure centre, National Hunt racecourse, the nearby north Cotswold Hills and the benefits of the River Avon.
The town is well served by road and motorway and rail communications with regular train services to Birmingham Moor Street and London Marylebone (via Warwick Parkway/Leamington Spa stations), whilst junction 15 of the M40 motorway is situated within about 15 minutes drive, two miles to the south of Warwick town centre. Birmingham International Airport, the National Exhibition and Agricultural Centres and International Convention Centre are all located in under one hour's travel whilst other well known centres including Warwick & Leamington Spa, Coventry, Evesham, Redditch and Solihull are readily accessible.
The A46 is immediately available providing easy access to the M40 at Longbridge Island, seven miles distant.
The Pump House is a fine example of a Victorian Gentleman's residence constructed in 1837 as a small spa pump house. It is set in about five acres of land and within easy reach of the town centre.
The property is a Grade II Listed Victorian house with pitched tiled roofs relieved to the front by a gable. The architecture is quite appealing and the front elevation suggests an elegant Victorian architectural style to what is an important and popular early spa house. There is a driveway running to the left hand side of the house around to an original Victorian stable block with coach house and a separate cottage. The whole is in need of some modernisation and improvement and, in particular, the stables to the rear are in need of some restoration.
