The Rushes

The Rushes is an impressive, detached residence in a quiet position nestled in the heart of the village. It has a unique 1.08-acre plot with outstanding views across the River Avon and the countryside beyond. The house had a comprehensive refurb by the current owners in 2017 and has been finished to a very high standard.

The front door opens into a large entrance hall with a guest cloakroom, a coat cupboard and a staircase rising to the upstairs accommodation. Double doors from the hallway open into the extremely spacious open plan kitchen/ dining/sitting room. Fully fitted kitchen with central island and integrated appliances include a double AEG oven, dishwasher, fridge, freezer and hob with extractor. There is space for a large dining table and a seating area with a log burner. A set of bifold doors open to a large south-facing terrace.
Located off the kitchen is a spacious utility room with plenty of fitted units, a basin and space for a washing machine and dryer. Steps down lead to a boot room with doors to both the front and the back garden, as well as access to the integral double garage with an electric sliding door.

An inner hallway provides access to three of the bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite bathroom, a guest double bedroom (both with beautiful views across the garden), and a further double bedroom that is currently used as an office.

The two bedrooms share the family bathroom which has a large walk-in shower, bath and a basin with a vanity unit below. Two additional, generous double bedrooms are located on the first floor and accessed by a staircase just off the entrance hallway. One of the bedrooms has an en suite shower room and the other is used as a storage/games room currently, with a large useful walk-in cupboard which houses the hot water tank.

A beautiful south-facing garden is extremely private and mainly laid to lawn and slopes gently down to the River Avon. There is a very large terrace which can be accessed from the kitchen and is ideal for entertaining. The property has superb views overlooking the river, lock, island and weir. There is a footpath at the bottom of the garden and the Avon Navigation Trust owns (and maintains) the strip between the garden and the river. The river is navigable at this point and connects with the surrounding waterway network making it an ideal base for boating. There is a small marina within walking distance of the property. The Rushes is gated and has a large, gravelled driveway providing plenty of parking and there is a double garage with an electric sliding door.

Luddington is a pretty village on the banks of the River Avon, three miles west of Stratford-upon-Avon. Facilities include a 19th-century church, a marina with a 17th-century lock, a village green and a village hall.

Stratford-upon-Avon is internationally renowned for its Shakespearean heritage and also provides excellent shopping and recreational facilities including a superb array of restaurants, shops, bars and dining pubs. The River Avon and the canal offer boating opportunities and a footpath connects Luddington directly with Stratford-upon-Avon along the banks of the river.

The area has a wide selection of state, private and grammar schools including The Croft Prep School, King Edward's Grammar School for Boys and Stratford-upon-Avon Grammar School for Girls. Further afield, both Warwick and Leamington Spa provide additional schooling. Golf is available at Stratford-upon-Avon, The Welcombe, The Warwickshire at Leek Wootton and at Welford-on-Avon.
