Homes in Atherstone
Atherstone is a small market town on the old Roman road of Watling Street, historically known for hat making. Its long main street has Georgian and older buildings, many listed, and the town centre is a conservation area. Victorian terraces surround the centre. Some of the older buildings on Long Street are timber framed behind Georgian brick fronts.
Post-war estates and newer developments have expanded the town. Baddesley Ensor and Polesworth nearby were mining villages, and the Warwickshire coalfield underlies the area. The Coventry Canal and River Anker run through the town. Atherstone is famous for its Shrove Tuesday ball game, and its railway station on the Trent Valley Line gives access to London and the north. Expect a mix of property ages, with modern estates dominating supply.
Areas we cover include Mancetter, Grendon, Baddesley Ensor, Hartshill, Polesworth.
