Sellers Comments - It was love at first sight with 8 The Bank. I had been driving around the area looking at what was for sale. Driving into the village, I saw the house, and then drove down towards the church. I saw The Orchard and the open fields, and knew this was where I wanted to live. Top of my list had been open spaces nearby. And these were (and are) in abundance. After moving in I was given all the information about the village from friendly neighbours. There is a Village Club, owned by the village, where they have a variety of community events, and it is open daily if you just want a quiet drink or want to get to know the community. The Orchard Committee produce their own Stoneleigh Cider, and any villager is welcome to become a member for a very reasonable sum. In the winter the ancient tradition of Wassailling is carried out to encourage a good harvest, and so far this has been very successful. There also a Village Magazine delivered to your door every two months, giving you all the news of the area and any events taking place. Stoneleigh is a tranquil and much coveted Warwickshire village perfectly placed for first class road and transport links to neighbouring towns including Kenilworth, Royal Leamington Spa and of course Stratford upon Avon.
