Rowington | 5 Bedrooms | £2,350,000

The Old Barn is truly charming, and its location is undoubtedly one of its most appealing qualities, situated in a secluded but not isolated position down a long gated driveway. The property occupies an intensely discreet position off the Old Warwick Road in Rowington, with approximately 18 acres and a boundary with the Grand Union Canal. This is a location filled with abundant wildlife and stunning countryside views.

The property was converted in the late 1990s, and now offers modern accommodation sympathetic to its conversion. On entering the hallway, there is a huge sense of open space, with large, tiled flagstone flooring leading to the casual sitting room ahead of the more formal living room. The hallway has bespoke fitted storage, ideal for coats and shoes and enjoys the first views of the inner garden courtyard with box hedging and a rose garden.    

The home office has bespoke oak-fitted furniture, with plentiful storage, and the more formal rear living room is beyond. High ceilings are evident throughout the ground floor, and the beams of the living room add to the character and impressionable feelings of this room. The feature fireplace is within open brickwork to the Dining Room/Bar, recently designed and fitted with bespoke bar furniture and cabinetry. A very fun room!   

The ground floor western wing of the property has a double bedroom fitted with Clive Christian furniture. It has a substantial ensuite with a large walk-in shower - ideal for guest accommodation and has access to the inner courtyard. 

The dining kitchen and utility are located to the eastern side of the home, and give immediate access to the courtyard and generous space for dining.  The separate utility leads through to the ground-floor hobby room, which offers great versatility in terms of its use, perhaps as a gym, playroom or 5th bedroom.

On the first floor are 3 bedrooms, each with an en-suite. The principal bedroom enjoys attractive wall panelling and fitted wardrobes. The principal ensuite is extremely generous in size, having a separate shower and a stand-alone bath.  The galleried landing is an impressive house feature connecting the top floor accommodation. All rooms enjoy stunning views and their own characterful features.

The Old Barn may have history by way of its name, but the property has been meticulously maintained and now offers a modern approach within a semi-rural setting, sympathetic to its roots. The property also enjoys a networked audio/visual system for televisions and external CCTV.  

Location

Rowington is a wonderful Warwickshire village on the outskirts of Solihull and is known as one of the area’s most aspirational addresses. Abundant country walks are on your doorstep, along with the junction of the Stratford and Grand Union Canal. Lapworth Train Station, Warwick Parkway and Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station are all in easy reach making this a semi-rural location which will appeal to commuters and young professional families.

There is no shortage of excellent dining options nearby including The Boot Inn, The Navigation and The Punchbowl to name a few, all with outside dining, and a mix of cosy yet modern bars and restaurants. National Trust at Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton offer a most idyllic setting and nearby Lapworth offers a village store, doctors, wine merchants, post office, car garage and train station with lines running  both Chiltern Railway and West Midlands Railway Services.
