8 bedroom house

The property has a timeless quality and maturity of setting which is hard to find. Dating from the late C16/early C17 this timber-framed house has red brick infill panels and a stone plinth, with a steeply pitched hipped plain tile roof and is gabled at rear. Oak front door and rebuilt brick ridge chimney stacks. The house is situated on the edge of an Iron Age hill-fort and site of a Roman settlement and links to the Civil war siege of Kenilworth Castle.

The house is timber framed and brick on a stone plinth and has retained many traditional architectural features. The interior has ledged and boarded doors, wide oak floorboards, chamfered and end stopped beams. Original partition walls, exposed ceiling timbers, oak and leaded windows and a barrel vaulted cellar. The hall has a flagstone floor.

There are 4 reception rooms accessed off the hall which has a curved staircase rising to the first floor and kitchen/ breakfast room with an oil fired Aga, with a useful utility room and pantry off. The sitting room and drawing room have inglenook fireplaces and windows to two sides and woodburners. The study has an unusual curved wall to the hall.

The 6 first floor bedrooms are accessed off the landing. The dual aspect Principal bedroom has an en suite shower room. The second floor lends itself to additional bedrooms, games or hobbies room, but would work very well for home office and remote working.

There is a detached double garage and workshop store by the house and a further triple garage in the range in the courtyard. The courtyard provides ample additional parking. The house has attractive mature gardens with a pond which is the remaining section of the historic defensive moat that encompasses part of the property and neighbouring hilltop field. There is a small paddock and a 4-acre field beyond with frontage to the lane.

There is a 2 bedroom cottage and 3 bedroom granary available by separate negotiation.
