Set within circa 1.72 acres of mature, parkland gardens, The Dolls House is a substantial dormer-style home offering spacious family living and strong flexibility. The ground floor provides three reception rooms, a large breakfast kitchen and three double bedrooms, while five further rooms and a shower room on the upper level offer excellent guest, teenage or home-office space. Extensive garaging, outbuildings and an orchard add practical value for vehicles, hobbies and storage.
The house sits behind a five-bar gate approached by a sweeping driveway, giving a private, rural feel while remaining minutes from Ettington village amenities and a short drive to Stratford-upon-Avon. The large established plot, multiple terraces and concealed walkways create numerous alfresco seating areas and gardening opportunities — ideal for buyers seeking space, privacy and outdoor interest.
Practical considerations are important: the property uses oil-fired heating, glazing is double but install date is unknown, and walls are cavity-built with assumed no insulation. There is an overage clause requiring 25% of any uplift from future planning permissions (running for 10 years). Council tax is noted as very expensive. These factors mean some updating and expense should be expected despite the strong size and position of the house.
This home will suit a family wanting generous accommodation and grounds, buyers needing multi-car garaging and workshop/storage space, or someone seeking a versatile property with scope for modernisation. It’s a rare plot in a sought-after village location, but purchasers should budget for energy, insulation and potential upgrades.
