Substantial Grade II listed Farmhouse
Description
West Hillborough Farm is approached via electric gates and a long sweeping
tree - lined drive. The property is an attractive Grade II listed farmhouse that
comprises three different periods, brought together with Binton, Cotswold and
Sandstone. The farmhouse sits centrally within about 46 acres and has
fantastic views over the River Avon and Warwickshire countryside. The house is
in excellent condition having been redecorated throughout in recent years and
offers very stylish accommodation. Of particular note is the large and very
light triple aspect drawing room with a handsome fireplace to one side and
panoramic views over the grounds. All the primary reception rooms have a
southerly aspect and good ceiling heights that create an airy and light feel
throughout the house.
The property is entered via a large reception hall which links the original
house to the wing comprising a substantial, well - appointed boot room,
cloakroom, comms room and lobby with staircase to the guest bedroom with en
suite shower room. The central hall with ornate cornicing, period wooden front
door and stone floor provides direct access to the family room and dining
room. The dining room has a wood burning stove, with access to two store rooms
and a further door to a side hall and separate loo. The double aspect family
room has a deep brick and stone open inglenook fireplace with a log burner.
The family room leads to a stone floored corridor, off which is the
sitting/cinema room and study and stairs leading down to a substantial cellar.
The kitchen/breakfast room is a light and bright room incorporating an Aga, a
combination of stone and wood worktops with a central preparation island to
one side, and a pitched and glazed breakfast room with a log burner to the
other. French doors lead to the terrace with wonderful views over the pond and
zen garden and beyond to the River Avon. The pantry is also accessed off the
kitchen, with secondary kitchen preparation surfaces.
The main staircase rises from the central hallway to the bedroom
accommodation. The principal bedroom is a large and very light room with
distant views over the surrounding countryside and the River Avon. It benefits
from a separate dressing room, an en suite bathroom with a large shower, a
free standing roll top bath and a double vanity basin. There are three further
bedroom suites, each with a well - appointed bathroom or shower room. There are
two further excellent bedrooms which share the family bathroom with a walk - in
shower, free standing roll top bath and lovely wooden floor.
Adjoining the main house is a gymnasium on the ground floor and a large and
beautiful office on the first floor. Double doors open into the gymnasium and
stairs rise up to the large open plan office.
Beyond the courtyard is a spacious lovely two bedroom, two bathroom cottage
which is entered through its own front garden. It has an open plan
kitchen/breakfast room opening onto the triple aspect sitting room. The
cottage also has its own access to the adjoining barn. Adjoining the cottage
is a brick and tiled two storey barn which would be ideal for a substantial
car collection or a variety of other uses. The first floor Entertainment Barn
is a substantial function space. Separated from the house and served by its
own access is a large steel framed and block agricultural storage barn. The
American barn has a workshop to one end with a mezzanine over.
There is an additional five bay open sided Dutch barn currently used as a log
store leading into a two bay open sided stall. The gardens are predominantly
made up of large areas of well - maintained lawn with a charming duck pond and
small woodland, bordered by post and rail fencing with surrounding fields. The
pasture leads down to a generous stretch of the River Avon with the added
benefit of fishing rights. There are large borders close to the house with
mature shrubs and specimen fruit trees. On the southern side of the house is a
paved terrace with a large entertaining area and a sleek contemporary rill
creating a peaceful and tranquil space. A further west - facing paved terrace
can be found outside the kitchen/breakfast room. The path continues around the
house to the north side with planted flower and shrub beds with box hedging.
