Something for everyone in Southam

Church View comprises an unrivalled selection of 12 two bedroom apartments and 49 two, three and four bedroom homes, each built with Banner’s close attention to detail. Having hosted royalty in its illustrious past, you too can now make the popular rural community of Southam your home.

Almost entirely surrounded by agricultural land, the small market town of Southam is a conservation area which boasts both eye-catching traditional architecture and convenient contemporary facilities. Both King Charles I and Oliver Cromwell at some time made Southam their base during the English Civil War, while the town is also renowned for minting its own currency in medieval times. ‘The Olde Mint’, one of the oldest pubs in the country, was once the old mint house, but today is more famous for its striking Elizabethan features.

The first market took place as early as 1227, and Southam hosts one weekly to this day, along with a farmers’ market showcasing the best in local produce each month. Essential day-to-day amenities can be found a short walk from Church View on the high street, which closes for the traditional Mop Fair every October – an event all of the town looks forward to.

There’s plenty to entertain everyone in Southam. The active will relish the excellent swimming and fitness facilities nearby, whilst there are also rugby, cricket, bowls and football clubs to join. Stoneythorpe Hall is home to the Royal Leamington Spa Polo Club and their world class facilities, within 600 acres of beautiful countryside. The peaceful Stowe Valley, the historic Holy Well and the River Stowe that meanders near Church View provide a backdrop for outdoor pursuits; walking, fishing and horse riding are especially popular in the area.

With a number of places of interest nearby, from Shakespeare’s Stratford to the shops and restaurants of Leamington Spa and the towns of Coventry, Rugby, Banbury, Kenilworth and Warwick all within half an hour’s drive, you’ll never be short of things to do or see.

A choice of highly regarded schools are within walking distance of Church View, including Southam Primary School, St Mary’s RC School and Southam College.
