Occupying a magnificent plot extending to over 0.8 of an acre, this individually designed detached residence enjoys an idyllic position with the River Avon meandering along the foot of the garden, offering an extraordinary lifestyle opportunity just moments from the heart of historic Stratford upon Avon.
Set well back from the road behind an exceptionally generous frontage, Waters Reach immediately impresses with extensive driveway parking for numerous vehicles, complemented by a beautifully established raised front garden.

A substantial central island provides the perfect gathering point for family and guests, whilst a fully bespoke walk-in larder with extensive shelving offers exceptional storage and practicality. Underfloor heating ensures year-round comfort, and an abundance of natural light pours in through two sets of bi-fold doors opening onto the rear terrace, together with a full-height glazed frontage incorporating a wide opening door to the front, creating an exceptional sense of space and an effortless connection with the outdoors.
A generously proportioned L-shaped sitting and dining room provides a more formal yet equally inviting reception space, whilst a practical utility room, complete with its own shower room, together with a further ground floor shower room accessed from the main hallway, offer excellent convenience for family life and guests.

Completing the suite is an elegant en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, bath, twin wash basins, WC and bidet.
The guest suite is equally distinctive, with its vaulted ceiling, impressive cathedral-style feature window and contemporary en-suite shower room. Four further spacious bedrooms are served by a stylish family bathroom, while a study area on the landing provides an ideal space for home working or study.
The grounds are undoubtedly among the property's greatest assets. Beautifully landscaped and lovingly maintained, they offer an idyllic setting for both relaxation and recreation. A generous paved terrace provides the perfect backdrop for summer entertaining, whilst raised beds, a productive orchard with a wonderful variety of mature fruit trees and vegetable patch, a generous garden shed and dedicated log store create a charming country garden atmosphere.
Children will delight in the treehouse, while the superb timber summerhouse, complete with power, lighting and log burner offers exceptional versatility as a home office, creative studio or peaceful garden retreat throughout the seasons.
Beyond the formal gardens lies the property's most captivating feature.
