Claybrooke Parva | Leicestershire | LE17 5AE RUSH COTTAGE Rush Cottage Main Road | Claybrooke Parva | Leicestershire | LE17 5AE RUSH COTTAGE Rush Cottage enjoys a superb location in the heart of popular Claybrooke Parva village. The present owners were searching for a home in a rural location but within easy distance of Rugby and Nuneaton for schools and work. The village ticked the box perfectly. A deceptively spacious and beautifully proportioned unlisted cottage dating back to 1690 with over 2,200 ft2 of accommodation and outstanding views over Leicestershire countryside. Rush Cottage was originally constructed in 1690 and has a fantastic mix of both contemporary and character features to create an attractive modern cottage suitable for 21st century living. There are three double bedrooms including a master bedroom with luxuriously appointed ensuite bathroom and a family shower room, whilst on the ground floor there is a snug, dining room, sitting room and an outstanding kitchen/breakfast room with bespoke units and bifold doors that open onto the garden. The gardens are delightful with attractive views across South Leicestershire and off-road parking with rear access. The house has views to both the front and rear, with the Norman Church at the front and views of farmland to the rear. The house also has the benefit of gas central heating. double glazing and early inspection is recommended. Ground Floor The entrance to the cottage from the front has a timber entrance door that leads onto the attractive snug which has a double glazed leaded window to the front, an inglenook fireplace with raised hearth and a leaded double glazed window to the rear aspect. There are stairs that lead off to the first floor and a glazed door that leads to the dining room which also has an inglenook fireplace with original bread oven, double glazed window overlooking the rear garden and the side aspect and a latched door that leads to the conservatory. Also from here is a glazed door that leads to the kitchen/breakfast room and a step up that leads into the sitting room which again faces the front with a leaded double glazed window and an open fireplace with corner chimney breast and exposed ceiling timbers. The kitchen/breakfast room is beautifully appointed with a bespoke hand built kitchen with a marble work surface, Belfast sink with mixer tap and a variety of built in appliances including Bosch dishwasher, Siemens microwave, a double fridge and freezer and there is also a Rangemaster six ring range with extractor hood and splashback. There are LED down lighters and an oak floor that leads towards a pleasant seating area, with wood burner and bifold doors that lead into the garden. The conservatory style rear entrance which overlooks the garden and leads to a small utility area with plumbing for a washer/dryer, there is also a further latched door that leads to the cloakroom which has an obscured window to the front, corner wash basin, tiled floor and provision for a WC (currently not fitted for additional storage purposes) Seller Insight On viewing the property and stepping inside they were immediately enchanted by the character, space, the views and inviting ambience of the property. It has been a much- loved home for fourteen years. The cottage dates from the late seventeenth century and retains charming original beams, fireplaces and bread oven, which combine with modern day comfort. The owners have opened the ground floor to create sociable areas where the family can relax together and have space for individual downtime. They will miss much about life in Rush Cottage, particularly the stunning views across the fields towards the next village. It has been a joy to watch the ever-changing skies and seasons, and the slow passing of horses along the bridle path. It provides a very tranquil atmosphere. The kitchen will be also be missed. Well equipped for the keen cook, it is a roomy sociable area where the family gather for food and relaxation. The fire makes it a warm winter refuge, but it is also an open summer room that becomes one with the garden. The garden is a visual pleasure of well stocked colourful borders and a lawn stretching down to open countryside. It is somewhere to sit and unwind after a stressful working day. The owners have equally appreciated the friendly village community, with its primary school, church and the wide choice of dog walks and bridle paths. The proximity of Rugby, and the A5 to connect you with national motorways, results in a good mix of town and country living. They are sad to leave but retirement means they can indulge their passion for gardening on a much larger scale.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

There are some super views across the Leicestershire countryside and a pedestrian gate that leads onto the footpath which provides some attractive walks across the fields. The rear boundary has a laurel hedge and Ash tree and there are some outbuildings including two timber sheds and a greenhouse. The rear gardens have been beautifully landscaped by the present owners and are laid mainly to lawn and there is a shaped pathway that leads back to the rear elevation. There are some well stocked borders with delightful shrubs and colourful flowers on both sides of the boundary and there is also a block paved patio just outside the bifold doors which provides a delightful spot for the afternoon sunshine. There is also a pea gravel area that could provide further seating options and some raised beds before you walk to the conservatory. There is also an outside tap and outside lighting. LOCATION The village was originally within the civil parish of Claybrooke Magna in Leicestershire and according to the 2001 census had a population of just 50. The village is next to the A5 road (Watling Street), which denotes the border between Warwickshire and Leicestershire. Wibtoft is about 10 miles north of Rugby. The house is set some distance from the A5 which gives excellent road links to Lutterworth, Magna Park and Milton Keynes to the south and Hinckley and Nuneaton to the north. The historic market town of Rugby lies to the south with the main line rail link to London Euston in less than 50 minutes. Leicester city centre lies to the north with its excellent range of shopping facilities and main line rail link to London St. Pancras. The M1 motorway at Junction 20 is just a short drive away as is the M6 motorway. Public schools such as Rugby, Oundle, Uppingham and Oakham are within easy reach as are Rugby Grammar School and Lutterworth Community College. Due to its small size Wibtoft has no shops but it does have a small attractive chapel and a unique micro brewery/pub within a 1.5 mile walk. However the adjacent market towns of Lutterworth, Hinckley and Market Harborough provide ready access to supermarkets, banks and a diverse range of amenities.

  • The Roman Sites of South-West Leicestershire
    PLATE I HIGH CROSS—FROM NORTH HIGH CROSS—FROM SOUTH THE ROMAN SITES OF SOUTH-WEST LEICESTERSHIRE BY ARTHUR J. PICKERING, F.G.S. PART I VENON/E TRIPONTIUM Preface THE following notes on the Roman Sites of South-West Leicester­ shire are of a somewhat fragmentary character. They will be found, however, to make some contribution to present day know­ ledge of the Midlands during the Roman occupation and will, the writer hopes, pave the way for excavation of a more ambitious character. The writer is convinced that systematic search and enquiry would reveal a number of other sites in this corner of the county at present unrecorded. Hinckley, Higham-on-the-Hill, Market Bosworth and Peckleton, where some evidence of Roman occupation has come to light, would possibly be found to be homesteads of the Roman-British farmer similar to Barwell and Sapcote. There is here every indication that in early forest clearings the land was tilled and stock raised for the important market town of Ratse Coritanorum. Owing to the lack of vigilance and to the superficial resem­ blance of Roman building material to what may be found on the site of any old cottage, there can be no doubt that much valuable evidence is often overlooked and for ever lost to us. Whatever historical interest these notes may afford to the antiquarian, their value has been considerably enhanced to the student by the descriptive and comparative notes on the coarse pottery contributed by Mr. B. H. St. J. O'Neil, of the Office of Works. His invaluable help in the examination of this material, and also in the revision of the complete type-script of this paper for the press, places the writer under a great debt of gratitude.

  • Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire and Solihull
    Warwickshire County Council Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire and Solihull Final Report Draft Version 2.0 31/03/2008 By Magnus Alexander with Stuart Palmer and Laurence Chadd Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund English Heritage Project No 4681 Archaeological Resource Assessment of the Aggregates Producing Areas of Warwickshire Summary This document is an assessment of the archaeology associated with aggregate minerals in Warwickshire and Solihull. The project was undertaken by the archaeology section of Warwickshire Museum Field Services, based within the Adult, Health and Community Services Directorate of Warwickshire County Council. The project has characterised, digitally mapped and subsequently analysed the resource, in order to inform the development of both minerals development frameworks and archaeological research, and provide a sound dataset for management and decision-making. This project primarily matched the criteria in Objective 2 of the Aggregates Levy Sustainability Fund (ALSF; strategic mitigation of future extraction): the analysis of existing data and wider dissemination matched Objective 3 (mitigation of past extraction). This project has used a number of data sources, primarily: relevant geological information, in particular that which is available in digital form from the BGS; relevant archaeological data, contained in the Warwickshire and Solihull HERs; aerial photographic information including additional mapping as part of English Heritage’s National Mapping Programme. The project has resulted in: a corpus of baseline data to inform future strategies; enhancement of the Warwickshire and Solihull HERs; increased awareness of archaeological issues in relation to aggregates extraction; dissemination via this project report, a non-technical leaflet and through the Warwickshire County Council web site.
