Introduction Summary A classic large country residence ideal for family life and entertaining, with two bedroom annexe, outbuildings, landscaped gardens and spinney, courtyard and parking. Situated in attractive South Warwickshire countryside. Centrally located in a Conservation Area of the village, the property sits in about an acre of gardens and grounds. The property has a mix of charming Jacobean architecture with a beautiful Georgian frontage with features including large stone mullion and sash windows (some with shutters), open fireplaces in most rooms and inglenook fireplace. With origins dating to the early 1600s, it is thought that the property was doubled in size in the mid 1700s with a substantial new faรงade added in the mid 1800s. Originally believed to have been a farmhouse, it is thought the property was the vicarage from about 1860s until the 1940s
