Henley Road, Claverdon

Believed to date back, in part, to the 17th Century, this exceptional character cottage was thoughtfully converted in 1987 to create a unique residence that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary living. Offered to the open market for the first time in almost 40 years, Barn Cottage has been a much-loved family home, providing generous accommodation set within some 2.15 acres of grounds. Enjoying a high degree of privacy and seclusion, the property commands delightful views across its own adjoining land and open countryside beyond.

In brief, the well laid out accommodation comprises; four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three reception rooms, well fitted kitchen, utility room and downstairs cloakroom. The property further benefits from ample driveway parking, double garage, separate home office and private rear garden. Beyond the garden lies an adjoining paddock, which totals just under 2 acres.

Claverdon is a popular and picturesque village with such amenities as a community store, doctors' surgery, fine parish church, and multiple public houses. There is a local primary school (rated "Outstanding" by Ofsted) and leisure facilities are available at The Ardencote Country Club. The nearby railway station ("Claverdon") offers regular trains to Warwick, Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, Solihull and Birmingham City Centre. The village is also within easy access of the M40 (J15) motorway, which, in turn, provides fast links to the M5, M6 and M42 motorways. In addition, the neighbouring towns of Warwick, Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon provide a range of shopping and recreational facilities, as well as a wide choice of state, independent and grammar schools.
