5 bed detached house to rent

Stratford Road, Shipston-On-Stour, Warwickshire CV36

A beautifully positioned country home on the edge of the Cotswolds with a self-contained annexe, set within landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately 1.5 acres, and enjoying far-reaching views across the Stour Valley and surrounding countryside.

Greystones is an impressive and characterful family home, built in 1926, occupying an elevated position just outside the historic market town of Shipston-on-Stour. Originally constructed by a local timber merchant, the house displays a wealth of natural wood features throughout, lending warmth, individuality, and architectural interest.

In recent years the property has been the subject of extensive restoration including improved electrics and plumbing, insulating all exterior walls, solar panels, restoration of the original wood floors, triple-glazed windows, and a new roof terrace. The result is a beautifully balanced home that combines period charm with modern convenience.

The accommodation flows exceptionally well and is arranged to take full advantage of the property’s outstanding setting, with principal reception rooms and bedrooms enjoying sweeping views across the Stour Valley towards Brailes Hill. The recently restored roof terrace, with a spiral staircase down to the hot tub, patio and glass balustrade, provides a particularly striking vantage point, ideal for entertaining or quiet enjoyment.
