About Whittington House

This beautiful and spacious home, with immaculate private gardens, is perfectly positioned for large families and groups of friends planning days of relaxation and Cotswold adventures together.

The historic market town of Shipston-on-Stour is 5.5 miles away, where you’ll find a wider choice of pubs and places to eat among its elegant streets. Set out on a range of scenic walks from the village, or hop in the car to explore further afield: Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Norton, and Moreton-in-Marsh are all within 17 miles.

Gardeners will enjoy a visit to Hidcote, an Arts and Crafts-inspired garden (13 miles), while families will love the Cotswold Falconry Centre (8 miles). With characterful features and a luxuriously elegant style throughout, this charming house, built from honey-coloured Cotswold stone, is set over three floors.

Parts of the property date back as far as the 15th century, and local legend suggests that Dick Whittington began his famous journey to London from here. From the rear archway, enter via a hallway with a WC and a utility room with laundry facilities, before stepping into the spectacular kitchen, complete with a vaulted ceiling, original beams, and an exposed stone wall.

This well-appointed space has everything needed for preparing grand feasts for the group, including a breakfast bar for two and a table seating eight. The separate dining room offers a more formal setting for celebratory meals and relaxed gatherings, featuring a flagstone floor and a large ornamental fireplace.

When it’s time to unwind, choose from three inviting spaces: the spacious lounge with a wood burner, the cosy snug (both with Smart TVs and rugged ceiling beams), or the tranquil reading room. The property has two staircases; a steep spiral staircase leads from the lounge to two bedrooms.
