Why Move to Stratford-upon-Avon?

Stratford-upon-Avon is a picturesque historic market town in Warwickshire, known for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. The town is steeped in history and culture, with numerous landmarks and statues dedicated to Shakespeare, including his birthplace on Henley Street, the Shakespeare Birthplace Trust, New Place, and, of course, the Royal Shakespeare Theatre.

One of the standout features of Stratford-upon-Avon is the River Avon, which flows through the heart of the town. Adjacent to the river are the Bancroft Gardens, which provide a quiet space with scenic views.

Location

Stratford-upon-Avon is situated on the outskirts of the Cotswolds to the south of Birmingham and Coventry to the north, providing not only beautiful scenery but also a commutable distance from the surrounding villages and inner cities, thanks to good road connectivity through the M40 and the A40.

Schools

There are public, private and grammar schools in Stratford to meet the needs of students of all ages, making the town and its nearby surroundings particularly popular with families with children growing up.

Sports facilities

Stratford-upon-Avon offers a range of sport facilities, including a leisure centre within walking distance of the town centre and golf courses in Stratford, Bidford, Welford, and Chipping Campden, among other places.

Great sense of community

Stratford-upon-Avon is a welcoming and friendly town with a strong sense of community, and it’s no wonder people love living and working here.

When it comes to property, this beautiful town has something for everyone. From magnificent period houses, some timber-framed, to custom new-build homes, apartments to terraced houses, both right in the centre of town or a little further out, it has it all.

Over the past 20 years, the town has grown considerably but still retains its identity and has easy access to beautiful countryside around it.

Shops

This historic town offers a wide range of shopping options, from independent boutiques to popular national chains. In the town centre, you’ll find everything from opticians and chemists (including Boots) to a post office and supermarkets like Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

There are also a range of themed locally owned stores to explore that you won’t find anywhere else, including an all-year-round Christmas store. Just outside the town centre, you’ll find larger stores and a lively market on Rother Street.
