Sweet Sonnet

Tea rooms, Tudor houses, and beautiful gardens all sitting upon a serene river – it sounds like the perfect English scene. In fact, Stratford-Upon-Avon is so inspiring that its most famous son, William Shakespeare, has put this town on the map. In the centre of this creative corner of Warwickshire, just half a mile from the train station, your little townhouse is equally ready to inspire and delight.

Traditional from the outside, the warm brickwork exterior looks like a postcard with its stucco plasterwork details and grey wooden door. While it gives off a cottage-like feel, you’re certainly not in the middle of nowhere with pubs and parks nearby. And as you step inside and kick off your walking boots (The Cotswolds aren’t too far either) you’ll notice a refreshingly modern decor.

We love the bright, playful colour schemes throughout the home. In the lounge and dining area, find vibrant oranges, royal blues, and lemon yellows all vying for your attention. And to really make the colours pop, light up the wood-burning stove for that extra warm glow. During sunny spells, your time will be better spent in the garden, where stylish, rattan garden furniture will complement a cold G&T at any time of day.
