Darlingscott Hill is a well-proportioned
country house. Originally a traditional
farmhouse, the property has been extended

contemporary with natural light, the charm
of exposed beams and open fireplaces. Set
in 1.85 acres, the delightful gardens include
expanses of lawn, a pond, sunken garden,
tennis court and swimming pool, all set against
a backdrop of stunning, rolling Warwickshire
and Gloucestershire countryside. The property
is approached over a gravelled drive which
leads to a gravelled parking area in front of the
garage block. A paved path leads to the front
door, which opens into the entrance hall, with
solid oak floor and built-in coat and storage
cupboards. From the hall, a passage leads
through to the well-proportioned drawing room
with oak floor, stone fireplace and four sets of
French windows. Off the entrance hall is the
fully equipped kitchen, with extensive granite
work surfaces.
A French door opens onto the garden terrace.
To the other side of the hall are three further
reception rooms with open fireplaces. Also off
the hall is a cloakroom, a useful utility room and
a laundry room.
From the dining room, the staircase rises to the
landing, off which is the principal bedroom suite,
with en-suite bathroom and adjacent dressing
room/bedroom 3. Off the inner landing is the
family bathroom and 4 further bedrooms, 2 of
which are en-suite.<br /><br />Darlingscott Hill is situated 1 mile from the
small market town of Shipston-on-Stour, well
known for its wide range of shops and other
local facilities. Communications are good
with easy access to a number of local centres
including Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick,
Banbury and Oxford. In addition, there is a
regular train service from Moreton-in-Marsh to
London, Paddington from 95 minutes, and also

parking area and comprises a double garage,
single garage and store room. Behind are two
timber garden sheds, a covered fuel store and
greenhouse. The swimming pool and all weather
tennis court lie to the south east of the house
and are sheltered by a variety of trees and
mature hedging. The pool is surrounded by a
paved terrace. A timber and tiled summer house
incorporates a changing room, plant room and
exterior shower. Mainly to the south of the
house, the beautifully maintained gardens have
been carefully designed to combine stretches
of lawn with numerous well-stocked beds and
shrubbery, including the enchanting sunken
garden and pond.
