Creating a focal point to the room is the charming open fireplace with a brick built surround.

Seller Insight The house, which extends to well over two and a half thousand square feet, was built in 1974 by a developer who also built the two neighbouring properties, but this one he built for himself so I’d like to think he went that extra mile in terms of its design and the overall construction quality, it would certainly seem that way,” “It’s a very nice-looking house, well built with thoughtful interior design taking both family life and entertaining in mind, so although it was built over four decades ago, it’s still extremely conducive to modern living.”

One enters this lovely home into a well-proportioned and light-filled reception hall that features an impressive and individually designed solid wood staircase that leads up to a galleried landing above. It’s the perfect introduction to the wonderful sense of both light and space and mid-century modern interior design that flows throughout the rest of the property. The large lounge is slightly sunken below ground level to give extra ceiling height, and this room, which flows straight into the dining area, features ground to ceiling windows on both sides of the room that create a wonderful connection between inside and out. “The house was definitely designed to take advantage of the setting.” “In the lounge, the huge amount of glazing almost makes you feel as if you’re sitting outside, and the master bedroom, dressing room and large guest bedroom all overlook rolling countryside and a little farm on the hillside in the distance. It’s a lovely home, ready to move in, but in my opinion someone with time and imagination could really take it on to that next level.”

“The garden is a very manageable size and it also enjoys a really good degree of privacy”. “There’s a large patio that wraps around two sides of the house, a nice-size lawn and lots of mature shrubs and plants that create colour and interest all year round. It’s a very attractive space, but again there’s so much that could be done to completely redesign the look and feel of the space.”

“The living room is definitely the standout room in the house.” “It’s light and bright and has a lovely big feature fireplace, and the fact that it flows straight into the dining area makes it a lovely place for get-togethers with family and friends.”

“The house enjoys a very secluded location, but it’s by no means isolated”. “The village, which boasts a convenience shop, post office, two wonderful pubs, a beautiful church and a lovely craft centre, are all just a short walk away. Henley-in-Arden, which has excellent selection of shops, restaurants, schools, pubs and sporting facilities, is under five minutes away by car or bus, and from there you can catch a train to either Birmingham, London or Stratford Upon Avon.”

“Another standout feature of the house is the master suite”. “It incorporates a huge bedroom with windows at both ends overlooking the beautiful countryside, a dressing room and an en-suite bathroom that is the same size as some family bathrooms.”

“The house is just lovely, but it’s the location that I would say sets it apart,” “It’s by no means isolated, but the sense of privacy is wonderful.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

WARWICKSHIRE Positioned in the heart of England the county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands County in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves.

Warwickshire hosts several key towns including Leamington Spa Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Kenilworth, Henley In Arden and Rugby to name a few.

The northern tip of the county is only three miles from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 60 miles north to south. Equivalently it extends as far north as Shrewsbury in Shropshire and as far south as Banbury in north Oxfordshire.
