Prices from: £700,000 - £1,250,000

If your post-Covid exit strategy from city life needs momentum, we're offering a healthy dose of inspiration and a fresh spin on country living.

Released in stages, Bridle Meadows is a new edge-of-village, family-centric development of 9 turn-key homes that offer all the 'in between' benefits of county and town living.

Here, space and breathing room are at the top of a long list of things Bridle Meadows residents can be cheery about - and there's plenty of it to go round with plenty of walks and hearty views of Warwickshire's rural idyll and the gentle folds of the Cotswolds countryside from every angle.

Second up is a 360 immersion in slower-paced village life with all its delicious trimmings such as a proper village green, thatched cottages, 19th century church and beating heart of village life - the village hall.

A wholesome place to put down roots and promising a slice of the good life, Luddington is a traditional, pretty Warwickshire village with a population of just under 500 residents, 3-miles from Stratford-upon-Avon.

It has a strong sense of community, excellent schooling and gentle dynamism revolving around a jovial rosta of regular events – including Carols on the Green on Christmas Eve, a summer fete, cinema evenings, quiz nights, and art classes. Within earshot are a number of golf courses, a racecourse and a smattering of chocolate box villages with strong riverfront restaurants and pub scenes.

Third on the list is the beautiful and considered design that make homes Bridle Meadows particularly attractive to those wanting a slice of country life without compromising on mod cons.

Blending with the village's architectural vernacular, each of the 9 homes have been built and dressed for 21st century living. With energy efficient, durable design elements, premium appliances - Porcelanosa, Neff, Karndean flooring - and thoughtful finishing touches throughout, homes are primed for family life with plenty of indoor and outdoor legroom to live, work, entertain and simply...breathe.

Each home comes with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind. Children are encouraged to connect with nature and the outdoors through integrated play parks built in to the development's grounds.

Within earshot, a market town with a weighty 800-year-old history and heritage, Stratford-upon-Avon is very much a thriving regional town that riffs off its connections to the world's most famous playwright William Shakespeare.

Beyond the headlines, tourist trails and amateur Hamlet productions, it's an incredibly pretty place to have within striking distance offering an excellent choice of restaurants, shops, grammar schools and packed with year-round cultural events.

With easy access to the M40 and A46, excellent road networks place Luddington within easy reach of the commercial centres of Birmingham, Coventry and Oxford, while nearby Stratford benefits from direct train links to London on the Chiltern Line.
