7 bedroom house

Newbold Pacey Hall is privately positioned on the edge of the village with unspoilt views. The property has been in the same family since the house was built by William Little in about 1780 - 1790.

The house is listed Grade II and is of special architectural or historic interest. The older part of the house is rendered. The rear brick wing is nineteenth century and the stable range part Georgian and part Victorian. The house and outbuildings, although being of great stature, require investment. The proportions, architectural elements, lofty ceiling heights of much of the house will more than justify this.

The principal rooms include: the morning room with a wooden oak floor and cast iron fireplace; the library with bookcases to three walls; the dining room with oak floor, shuttered French doors to the garden, marble and cast iron fireplace. In the flagstone hall the staircase is a major attraction of the house. There is a kitchen/ breakfast room with oil fired Aga, kitchen units and appliances, sitting room , cloakroom , utility room and cellarage. The first floor drawing room with its tall French windows overlooks the park and has a fireplace and cornice. The height of this room and the dining room take up the full three storey height of the house. There are two substantial dual aspect bedroom suites. The second floor bedrooms are also well proportioned and attractive. Off the back staircase is a hobbies room and further attic room. The North Wing can be accessed from the main accommodation, but is currently a self-contained cottage achieving a rent of £950 per month on an Assured Shorthold Tenancy.

Framing the north side of the house are the fine Georgian and Victorian set of former stables, coach house and yard, and a clock tower. Plans were produced some years ago for their conversion to two dwellings.

The gardens are lawned to the south and east sides, with a croquet lawn and ha-ha to the parkland beyond. Behind the stable buildings and coach house is the walled estate yard with dilapidated buildings and a walled kitchen garden. The ornamental Georgian parkland contains fine mature specimen trees including lime, oak, field maple and Scots pine. There is separate access from the northern boundary and a woodland incorporating the former ice house to the hall.Woodland around the garden contains a pond which would benefit from restoration, and the site of the former tennis court.

Further parkland available by separate negotiation.

Newbold Pacey has a parish church and in the nearby village of Ashorne there is a cricket ground and public house. The bucolic village is unaffected but well-placed for access to all of England.

The county town of Warwick, Leamington Spa with its Regency architecture and Spa town elegance and Stratford-upon-Avon with its Shakespearian heritage and theatres have a wide range of shopping, restaurants and amenities. Day to day shopping is at Wellesbourne, about 2 miles away.

The property is excellently located with ready access to the M40 (J13) to London and M40 (J14) to two international airports, Birmingham, Coventry and the West Midlands centres of employment and Warwick University. There is an Intercity train service on the Chiltern line and a Parkway station at Warwick, and further stations at Leamington Spa and Banbury.

There is a range of state, grammar and private schools in the area to suit most requirements including Warwick Prep School and Public School and King's High School for girls in Warwick, Kingsley School for Girls and Arnold Lodge School in Leamington Spa, Stratford Grammar Schools and the Croft Prep School in Stratford.

There are golf courses at Stratford upon Avon and Leamington Spa, Tadmarton and Brailes, racing at Warwick and Stratford and fishing and sailing at Draycote water. There are a number of livery yards in the area and polo at Cirencester, Rugby and Stoneythorpe near Southam. The Cotswolds lie a short distance to the south along the Fosse Way.
