Seller Insight Impressive and unique Ladbrook Hall was built by 1860, later being divided into three properties. Ladbrook Hall North has split level accommodation over three floors, and the present owners were immediately enchanted by the charm and luxury of space in the property that has now been their much loved home for the past twenty-one years.

When the current owners originally viewed the property, it was well lived in and needed updating. Every room was renovated, and it was a project completed with loving care and great attention to detail. The work included removing the low ceiling in the lounge and creating a stunning vaulted ceiling, replastering every room, and creating an impressive kitchen diner and a luxurious bathroom.

The house is now a home where each room seamlessly combines great comfort and elegance.

The owner’s say it’s a pleasure to spend time in every space, however the kitchen diner is the busy, sociable hub of the home and well equipped for the keen cook.

Here, one can gather around the table for lively conversations or, on sunlit mornings, savor a cup of coffee in the charming courtyard. The house’s convivial and inviting atmosphere seamlessly transitions into the chic, sun-soaked lounge, creating an inviting haven for family relaxation and an elegant backdrop for sophisticated gatherings.

The house is flooded with natural light, and this is most evident in the bedrooms which have triple or double aspect views across the neighbouring golf course and picturesque duck pond. The spacious family bathroom, adorned with a freestanding bathtub and a generously proportioned walk-through shower, is another prized feature of the home.

Ladbrook Hall North offers easy entertaining, with the owners recalling meals for twelve under the covered patio where guests can gaze across the pond and the lawns, enjoying the peace and calm of the pretty surroundings.

Sought-after Tanworth in Arden offers a good range of facilities, including a nursery and primary school, a pub, restaurant, surgery, and golf course. Stratfordupon-Avon, with its world-class theater, is only nine miles away, while the NEC and Birmingham International Airport are approximately a twenty-minute drive away.

The owners have always adored their journey home, winding along the tree-lined drive, where they left behind the pressures of the modern world. While they’ve decided it’s time to downsize, they depart with a treasury of profoundly joyful memories associated with both the house and the village.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
