SELLER INSIGHT

We were looking for a new home in the perfect setting that was rural but not too far from nice towns and we have found the best of both worlds here in Meadow Barn as it’s located in peaceful countryside between Leamington and Kenilworth. We could also see great potential for modernising the property whilst still retaining its characterful features which was also part of the attraction for us,” say the owners.

“We’ve lived here for 7 years and spent the first six months with builders and architects who helped us realise our vision for the property. We added a huge, floor to ceiling window which has made the world of difference in terms of the lighting and we also fitted a bespoke oak staircase, as well as reconfiguring the upstairs layout. Downstairs has been modernised, so it’s ideal for day-to-day family life and entertaining, and we also restored the original wood flooring in the sitting room and put in a log burner which is just wonderful when we come home from snowy dog walks.”

“The sun rises at the front of the property before moving round to the rear garden from late morning. We extended the patio and added our large dining table, chairs, and sofas, and it’s been a well-used space where we relax into the late evening with food and drinks before hopping into the hot tub to watch the sun go down. We got married in 2018 and held our wedding party here in the garden and paddock where we celebrated with 100 guests and a local live band. It was such an amazing event that we replicated it for my birthday one year later with the same band and 150 guests! It’s also perfect for smaller family get-togethers.”

“For us, nothing beats being outside but the open plan kitchen with its central island and corner sofa has been a brilliant place when our friends come to stay as we can all cook, eat, and chat together in there. The double garage is utilised as a workshop fitted out with electrics, a bandsaw, workbench, storage facilities, and machinery which is a handypersons dream! The modern home office enables me to work in peace and quiet and we also use it as an entertaining venue in the summer.”

“It’s very rural here with many walking opportunities which is good fun. The barn is situated between the pretty towns of Kenilworth and Leamington from where we can easily access a wide range of amenities, including an abundance of shops, bespoke boutiques, coffee shops, independent restaurants, excellent schools, and leisure facilities.”*
