The property

The Belfry, which is unlisted, has been the subject of a meticulous restoration project over the last 26 years.

Originating from circa 1720, with a Victorian extension dated 150 years later, the Early Georgian style house has features including sash windows, neat-jointed red brickwork in Flemish bond to preserved original shutters and high corniced ceilings. The scrupulous decoration chimes with its Early Georgian origins.

Ground floor accommodation consists of an impressive tiled hall from which emanate the principal rooms; the drawing room, sitting room and study all of which have working fireplaces, high ceilings and working sash windows. To the eastern side of the entrance hall there is a dining room, secondary hallway with back staircase and utility room, day room and kitchen. These interlink well and represent the ‘working’ wing of the house. Off the kitchen is a shower room and, accessed by a corridor running east from the kitchen, there are three further storerooms, a workshop and a gardener’s WC. A covered walkway from this corridor provides access to the double garage.

The annexe, converted from stabling, is attached and runs to the east of the main house. It consists of a breakfast kitchen, hallway, studio room, sitting room and bathroom with mezzanine storage space. In addition, there is an attached coach house and separate driveway entrance.

Outside

The property has Impressive wrought iron, electrically operated, front gates set between tall brick, stone capped, gate pillars. These open onto a gravel driveway with a central roundel and parterre. To the east is a courtyard providing further parking and garaging. The garden wraps around the house to the north and east.

To the southern side there is a delightful walled garden which includes a lawn with parterre borders, a dividing central pergola, flanked by lavender avenues, and a kitchen garden beyond.

Location

The Belfry benefits from superb accessibility in all directions by rail, road and air; the M1 is just 5 miles distant, Rugby, with trains to London Euston taking from 51 minutes, is 10 miles away, and Birmingham airport is just 26 miles away. Local facilities can be found at nearby Lutterworth with more comprehensive facilities at Rugby and Coventry.

Local schooling is diverse with junior schools within the village and Ullesthorpe. The village is on the bus route for Lutterworth College and Princethorpe College, and falls within the catchment of Rugby High School and Lawrence Sheriff in Rugby. Private schools are at Rugby School and Bilton Grange Preparatory School.

Directions

From the M1 Junction 20, take the A4303 west and, at the junction with the A5, turn right and follow the A5 for 3 miles until seeing the signpost for The Claybrookes and Ullesthorpe. Turn right and follow the road for 1 mile. At the T junction, turn right and the house is 100m on your right hand side.
