5 bedroom detached house for sale

Character & charm perfectly blended with modern comforts in the most discreet of locations. There are just so many things we like about this property it's hard to know where to start...The location offers a great balance of escapism against easily accessible road and rail connections yet surrounded by greenbelt countryside fields the property's 'secret' location is one perhaps only known to the Little Shrewley locals or walking clubs. Neighbours are nearby, but not within eyesight, and well screened gardens and a small paddock surround each elevation of the property, capturing the sun at different times of the day. The peace and tranquillity become rather addictive and hours can be lost just listening to bird song. And yet, within 10-25 minutes' drive you can be in the centres of Warwick, Leamington Balsall Common, Solihull, Coventry or Stratford upon Avon as well as Birmingham Airport and International Station. Rail connections via Warwick Parkway or Hatton Station (Birmingham / London Marylebone line) can be reached within a short drive or a 5-10 minutes' bike ride. Originally a small estate cottage, an extensive refurbishment programme was undertaken in the 1980's virtually rebuilding the original cottage and substantially enlarging the accommodation. Latter additions included the detached '4 car' garage block complimented with an abundance of parking bays from the long, gravelled driveway with gated entrance. More recently the owners have refitted the kitchen and bathroom suites, replaced the flooring, secured planning permission for a one bedroomed annex and rejuvenated the d?cor to a modern appeal - it's still brimming with versatility and potential but above all it is a home ready to be enjoyed. The kitchen space is without question the hub of this home. Beautifully refitted and cleverly designed it enjoys views to the front, rear and both sides and quite simply is the perfect space to spend time socializing, eating or just reading your favourite book at the breakfast bar. Open plan with the dining space there's a feature inset log burning stove for the colder nights and bay window to the south elevation which floods the rooms with natural light. The flooring to the complete floor area has been completely replaced and perfectly compliments the neutral d?cor. The lounge is spacious in size yet cosy in feel. The character wood beams and the solid fuel fire set within the prominent inglenook fireplace give hints to the cottage that stood before. A versatile study or family room leads off again offering an exciting feature of the old kitchen stove. The main hallway gives access to a guest WC, double door cloaks cupboard and useful under-stairs storage cupboard but there's the option of a further inner hallway which also provides for a staircase to the first floor, side access to the drive together with two large pantry cupboards and door to the utility. On the first floor is a stunning, principal bedroom with refitted ensuite, 3 further double bedrooms, the guest having ensuite facilities, a generously sized single bedroom / dressing room to the main, and well-appointed family bathroom. Outside, the formal, south facing gardens lie to the rear, with children's play equipment and area. A paved patio offers the perfect sun trap. For those more active, may we suggest the pursuit of a game or two of cricket in the small paddock.In all it is a property that needs to be viewed for an opportunity that might not present itself again for some time to come. An integral garage is huge - quite possibly able to house 4 smaller cars, and the detached garage can house 4 larger cars - or maybe you might take advantage of the approved planning permission already in place - W/23/0028.Things to Know...Subjective comments in these details imply the opinion of the selling agent at the time these details were prepared.
