Vendor Interview 'The first thing that attracted us to this beautiful Grade II Listed property, with its history well documented by the local history society, was its wonderful location. This was a perfect situation for us, being in The Cotswolds and able to run our businesses whilst able to reach such a wealth of leisure and cultural opportunities. We needed to get to Oxford and London easily for business and pleasure.' Says Tony.

The immediate area benefits from having many local amenities and facilities close by. 'There are good transport and motorway links that are easily accessible; Evesham station has direct train links to Oxford and London, plus Worcester. Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon are all easy to reach,' says Tony. 'The local market town of Evesham has a history going back to the 8th Century and its only about four miles away and has many local shops, great schools and a fantastic refurbished Art Deco cinema The Regal.' 'Badsey village is very friendly;' continues Tony, 'There are many societies that can be joined in the area including running, cycling and history clubs. The area is wonderful for country walks and taking in the beautiful surrounding scenery. The quintessential Cotswolds village of Broadway is just 4 miles away, with its iconic high street of shops, pubs and restaurants.' 'Since moving into the property four years ago, we have made lots of improvements,' continues Catherine. 'We have updated the kitchen, and we enjoy the contrast between this contemporary living space and the historic features of the rest of the house. We have re-decorated all of the rooms, opening up a wealth of character and fine details, as well as making a feature by revealing the lovely original floorboards. The living room is one of the older parts of the house and beautifully historic,' she adds. 'It is my favourite room with a very peaceful atmosphere. We retreat there in the evenings to a log burner fire and close the original Georgian shutters making it feel very cosy and special. The layout of the house flows very well and is well suited for family life and for working from home. With two adult daughters, the generous size of the house means that they can have their friends over without it feeling crowded' The Court also benefits from extremely attractive garden areas. It includes two courtyards around the house and a long back garden, with deep borders and a grassed pathway. 'You can enjoy views of the garden from the kitchen through its wall of glass windows with doors opening onto the main courtyard, planted with architectural evergreen trees and shrubs This fantastic garden space makes the whole property ideal for entertaining. Over the years we have had many special events at the house and it is especially wonderful in the summer months', explains Catherine 'The garden is well thought out and contained with a southerly aspect.' 'The second enclosed area is the kitchen courtyard where we grow herbs and have a number of potted trees. We also have our log store and garden shed, and access to the front of the property via a full height gate,' says Tony.

'We are really going to miss The Court because of its convenient location, its charm, character and spacious accommodation. We have had a fantastic lifestyle living here and we are sure the next owners will enjoy it just as much as we have done,' conclude Catherine and Tony.
