Located at the centre of England, Warwickshire isn't particularly
favoured by buyers from the South East, but it is very popular
with West Midlands buyers
Curving round the south and east of Birmingham
and Coventry, Warwickshire is located at the very centre of England,
although the exact central point is in dispute. There are three
places that lay claim to it: the cross at Meriden, High Cross on
Watling Street, and the site of a former oak tree near Lillington.
The Forest of Arden was always associated with
the centre of the English world, and even now has a sense of mystery;
this is also Shakespeare country, and visitors flock to the poet's
birthplace, Stratford-upon-Avon, in their thousands each year.
Despite its central location and good communications,
especially the new part of the M40, which passes through the middle
of the county, and a fast mainline rail service, Warwickshire
is not particularly favoured by country-house buyers from the
South-East. It is perennially popular with West Midlands buyers,
however, pushing up prices for houses close to good road and rail
links to the conurbation.
The county has some superb scenery, particularly
to the south, where it contains part of the Cotswolds. Prices
are cheaper in less favoured areas, round Nuneaton and Rugby,
and in the Vale of Evesham.
Houses are typically built of Cotswold stone
in the south, ironstone in the south-east and brick elsewhere;
thatch, slate and clay-tiled roofs all feature. Good village houses
and farmhouses can be found throughout the county.
