Vendor Insight “Built in the 1890s as part of a local estate, we were attracted to this unique property 38 years ago,” recall the current owners, “being set in a quiet country location, within reach of local amenities, villages, friends and workplaces, it has everything you could want.”With its unusual layout and variety of outbuildings set around a courtyard, the property provides a wealth of opportunities.

“There is a separate office, next to the main house set off of the courtyard with its own separate central heating system as well as kitchen and toilet. The barn could be used as a family annexe or a studio/ self contained business unit. The courtyard is the most unusual feature of the grounds and also our favourite. It’s great for small gatherings with family and friends. For larger parties we have had up to 100 people in a marquee on the lawn. There is so much outdoor space and ample parking, which is excellent.” Inside the accommodation is plentiful with open aspect views across the countryside from every window. “The whole house works well, the warmth of the AGA in the kitchen is a particular pleasure but we have always enjoyed spending time in our conservatory with the doors open on a summers afternoon or closed of a snowy evening.

The property is nice for outdoor living while cosy and comfortable in the winter. It’s very different to other properties in the area, which is what we like about it. It’s 330 yards off of the road and over half a mile from the nearest neighbour. It is a very private location; we are surrounded by fields but in close enough proximity to the villages of Honeybourne and Pebworth to be able to walk there within minutes.

There is a village store and post office, two public houses and an infant school in Honeybourne as well as a 13th Century Church which is as old as the village itself. Our local station is on the Worcester to Paddington mainline, which can get you to the capital in 1hr 43mins, however we frequently drive to Warwick Parkway Station, which takes us to London Marylebone in 1hr 12mins.” There are local golf courses at The Vale, Broadway, Welford, Bidford, Stratford and The Welcombe Hills, racecourses in Cheltenham, Warwick and Stratford and several leisure centres, theatres and National Trust properties all within easy reach. North, south, east or west, we can get anywhere fairly quickly. We will miss how well located, this house is, it has been so very convenient.”* These comments are the personal views of the current owners and are included as an insight into life at the property.
