Its previous owners had undertaken a sympathetic refurbishment and enhancement of the house from which we have benefited. We love its high ceilings, beautiful windows and a rather grand fireplace, all touched with a magnificent, elegant, history. It is such a comfortable home and its modern luxuries make it such a relaxed one in which to live. The fact that our home is spread over four floors enables space and privacy for everyone and, having the basement utilised as a functional, practical, area, works wonderfully for our family life.” “We have a delightful, quiet and private, courtyard garden in which we can switch off after a busy day, or enjoy relaxed dining with our family.” “As a family, we love walking and our house is perfectly situated for walks along the towpath of the nearby canal. The local countryside is outstanding and we enjoy a walk into nearby Offchurch where there is a special gastro pub.”* North Wing Pages.indd 5 28/02/2017 17:01 North Wing Pages.indd 6 28/02/2017 17:01 North Wing Pages.indd 7 28/02/2017 17:01 We will be extremely sad when we leave this lovely home, but it has been a very happy place in which to live and we wish its new owners much happiness.” North Wing Pages.indd 8 28/02/2017 17:01 North Wing Pages.indd 9 28/02/2017 17:01 Stairs lead up to the first floor where there are two large double bedrooms and the family bathroom.

A popular tourist destination, William the Conquerer founded Warwick Castle in 1068 on his way to Yorkshire to deal with the rebellion in the north. The original wooden motte-and-bailey castle was rebuilt in stone in the 12th century. During the Hundred Years War, the facade opposite the town was refortified, resulting in one of the most recognisable examples of 14th century military architecture. The great fire of Warwick in 1694 destroyed much of the medieval town and as a result most of the buildings post date this period. The town lies upon a bend in the River Avon, directly adjoining the neighbouring town of Leamington Spa and under ten miles from Kenilworth and the city of Coventry. The town provides a variety of boutique shops, gastro pubs, bistros and cafes. The town hosts a variety of annual festivals, such as the Folk Festival and Christmas Victorian Evening. The Warwick Racecourse, Warwick Boat Club and Warwick Tennis Club are all notable exclusive sporting venues in the town. Theatre and live performance can be experience at The Bridge House Theatre, The Dream Factory and Warwick Arts Centre in addition to the nearby Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Leamington Assembly Rooms, Royal Spa Centre and the Belgrade Theatre. A consistent lure to the area for families is Warwick School for boys, which is believed to be the oldest boys school in the country, along with its sister school, Kings High School for Girls and Warwick Prepartatory and Junior Schools. In addition there are two state run schools and several primary schools. The Univesity of Warwick is among the highest rated in the country.
