Monks Kirby Lane | Monks Kirby | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 0RH BRICKYARD COTTAGE Brickyard Cottage Monks Kirby Lane | Monks Kirby | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 0RH BRICKYARD COTTAGE A detached four bedroom period house in 2.84 acres with two log cabins, 4,500 sq. ft. commercial workshop and planning to largely extend the main house. A detached property originally dating from the Victorian era situated just under a mile outside the popular village of Monks Kirby. This family home has already been extended, and offers versatile ground floor accommodation. Planning was obtained in 2011 (and footings are dug) to construct a large two-storey extension to side and rear. Subsequent permission has been obtained (in 2018) to create a slightly more modest ground floor extension. The recent addition of the Orangery affords, beautiful views of the rear. The property is set in formal gardens of just under an acre with level lawns and an outdoor swimming pool. There are 2 spacious log cabins, a substantial commercial outbuilding and a paddock with an orchard. The house sits in 2.84 acres in total and enjoys a quiet non-estate location with one near neighbour. Accommodation Summary Ground Floor Beyond the storm porch, double doors lead into the entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. There is parquet flooring with steps down to the cloakroom. Two side windows, and a door into the open plan living area. The dining area has laminate flooring with fitted cupboards and a wide picture window provides attractive views across the lane. A wide archway leads into the lounge area which has a contemporary recently installed ‘Invicta’ wood burning stove set onto a brick hearth and chimney breast. The lounge area is a bright space with fitted cupboards, front and side windows providing similar views. Steps and an open archway lead up to the music room. This also has laminate flooring with a side window and a bay window overlooking the gardens. Off the rear of the lounge there is a large, recently added Orangery with doors to the garden offering a year-round retreat from the man house. The kitchen/breakfast room has a range of white fronted base units with ample work surfaces and a stainless-steel sink unit. Bosche electric fan-assisted double oven with a five-ring Neff induction hob. Space and plumbing for an American style fridge/freezer unit with ample matching eye-level cupboards. Vinyl flooring, white ceramic tiling, Worcester oil- fired central heating boiler. Fitted breakfast bar, alarm sensor and a window providing views of the garden. The utility room has further white fronted base units with work surfaces and sink unit. There is space and plumbing for both a washing machine and a dishwasher with a rear window. A step leads down to the rear hall which has a wooden door leading to the gardens. A further door leads into the garage. First Floor The first-floor landing has both rear and side windows, a wide loft access and an airing cupboard housing the fully lagged hot water cylinder. The main bedroom has a TV point with windows providing wonderful views across the side and rear gardens. The en-suite has a tiled shower enclosure with a Mira shower unit and white ceramic tiling. There is a built-in wash hand basin and low-level flush WC. Ceramic tiling, ladder radiator, opaque rear window. Bedrooms 2 and 3 both have fitted wardrobes with windows overlooking the fields to the front of the house. Bedroom 4 is a single room and has a Georgian rear window. The family bathroom has a modern white suite comprising a panelled bath with a Mira sport electric shower unit above. It has a Heritage white pedestal wash hand basin, low-level flush WC and white ceramic tiling. Light/shaver point, opaque rear window. Front Garden Across the front of the property there is a wide lawn area with a well-stocked flower border including a cherry tree, roses and rhododendrons. Double Garage & Parking The garage has both light and power with room for a chest freezer, electricity meter and fuse controls. There is ample room to the front of the garage to park several vehicles with both an outside coach lamp and two halogen lights. The wooden concertina doors are on a rail. To the right of the driveway there is a wide timber gate allowing vehicular access beyond the cabins, to the workshop and a very large area ideal for larger vehicles. Main Gardens The gardens are a particular feature of the property and are laid almost exclusively to lawn, interspersed with three well stocked flower borders. There are a selection of bushes and annuals with some colourful shrubs and a silver birch tree. Behind the largest flower border is a raised outdoor swimming pool. There is a level slab base with 5 wooden steps allowing children safe access. Beyond the pool there is a large shingled parking area where there is a garden shed and a recently installed plastic oil tank. Behind the cabins there is a private and sheltered terrace. The formal gardens measure around 0.9 of an acre with the total plot extending to 2.84 acres. The gardens are enclosed by timber fencing along the front boundary with established trees, copper beech and post and rail fencing along the majority of the left hand side, still allowing attractive views across farmland towards the village. The majority of the orchard and paddock is also enclosed by hedgerow and established trees. Paddock/Orchard Toward the rear of the garden there is a raised bank and an L-shaped paddock/orchard. This has been recently planted with soft fruit trees and could be a good location to accommodate a pony or livestock. The banked garden behind and to the left of the workshop is an ideal location for a zip line (as it currently is) quad bikes, motorbikes or even enthusiastic children learning to ski. Important Information There is a restrictive covenant in place until 2020 over the paddock/orchard area situated in the far right corner. This would entitle a 50% uplift on this part of the garden should planning permission ever be granted to the covenanter. Outbuilding/Workshop Just inside the rear boundary there is a quality detached workshop, which has both light and power connected and is fully alarmed. It has a shallow pitched roof and is of double skin construction. The workshop could be ideal for storage or a wide range of alternative uses. Timber Log Cabins There are two pine built detached log cabins which could be used for recreational, accommodation or an ideal home office. The cabin nearest the house has an open plan lounge area, two double bedrooms and a quality bathroom with running hot and cold water and capacity for central heating. The second cabin has a larger open plan lounge area with built in bar. This has two rooms which could be used as a dining room and bedroom as well as a spacious cloakroom. Both cabins have light and power and mains water and sewage (to septic tank) connected, double glazed windows and doors. Both cabins provide around 500sq ft of accommodation. Situated between the two log cabins (located behind fenced deck area) is a small wooden structure which houses the electric combi boiler which provides hot water for both cabins. The boiler has been sized with sufficient capacity to provide central heating for cabins at some point in the future. Planning Permission There is currently planning permission (R17/1789) to create larger kitchen and dining areas together with ancillary accommodation for cloaks, utility and storage.. Another application was granted in 2011 (R11/1117) allowing the house to be significantly extended to the left hand side and rear. This would create a large kitchen/family room and two further bedrooms with a ‘Jack & Gill’ bathroom to the side of the property and a large two story extension to the rear creating a larger master bedroom, dressing room and en suite to the first floor and expanding the living accommodation to the ground floor. Plans can be viewed on the Rugby Borough Council Planning Portal www.planningportal.rugby.gov.uk The groundwork for the build has commenced so the project is now deemed ‘live’ and therefore the planning permission will not expire. LOCATION Brickyard Cottage (and one neighbouring property) are situated around 0.8 of a mile outside the village. Monks Kirby is a small and very attractive village which has the great advantage of easy access from all directions but with almost no through traffic. It is about 8 miles north-west of Rugby and 10 miles from the centre of Coventry. The village is dominated by the Grade 1 priory church of St Edith and there are two public houses, The Denbigh Arms and The Bell Inn, a Spanish restaurant. Junior schooling is available at the very well regarded Revel School. There is an extensive range of excellent senior schooling in Rugby, Lutterworth and Coventry.

Independent schools include Bilton Grange (prep) School, Rugby School, Princethorpe College and the twin grammar schools (Henry 8 and Bablake) in Coventry.

  • REVEL BENEFICE Passionate About Sharing God’S Love with the Whole Community
    REVEL BENEFICE Passionate about sharing God’s love with the whole community Page 1 of 32 BISHOP’S INTRODUCTION There has been a willingness and commitment of the parishes within the Revel Benefice to re- think how mission and ministry might look in their rural context. A few years ago, I challenged them to do some work on what the future shape of their ministry might look like. To their great credit they have taken up the challenge and responded very well. The Parish Profile reflects how far their thinking has come, along with changes in structure they have already made. They have engaged healthily with the 8 Essential Qualities, which they have undertaken as a whole benefice. This has enabled their journey of growing as a mission shaped church to continue. A growth in shared ministry, lay leadership and working together has continued to bear fruit through Messy church, and a growing relationship with schools, has enabled the mission and ministry to continue even with the challenges posed by illness and early retirement of the previous incumbent. The Revel journey draws on a spiritual heritage I found very inspiring when arriving in Coventry Diocese. It can be read in a little but influential book by Stephen Verney called, ‘Fire in Coventry’, and describes how the Spirit moved in the hearts of people in Monks Kirby and the spiritual awakening across the Diocese that happened as a result. My hope and prayer is that this benefice may once again be a place of influential spiritual momentum. This heritage in the spiritual dynamic of laity, has given energy to new forms of mission and ministry in a rural context.

  • Revised Plan April 2016 Traditional Orchards
    www.warwickshirewildlifetrust.org.uk ACTION for WILDLIFE Warwickshire, Coventry and Solihull Local Biodiversity Action Plan REVISED PLAN APRIL 2016 TRADITIONAL ORCHARDS 1. INTRODUCTION Traditional orchards are groups of fruit trees such as apples, pears and plums planted on vigorous rootstocks at low densities in permanent grassland managed in a low intensity way; nut-bearing shrubs such as walnuts, almonds and hazelnuts can also be present in some sites. These man- made habitats are long-established and widely distributed Blackwell Orchard and are a distinctive feature of the British countryside. Prime © Sarah Shuttleworth traditional orchard habitat consists of grazed grassland with fruit trees of varying age structure, with an abundance of standing and fallen dead and decaying wood. Warwickshire is not as rich in traditional orchards as its neighbouring counties of Gloucestershire and Worcestershire but it retains a valuable resource of this habitat, especially within Stratford-on-Avon District. Traditional orchards are structurally and ecologically similar to wood-pasture and parkland, with open-grown trees set in herbaceous vegetation, but are generally distinguished from these priority habitat complexes by the following characteristics: the species composition of the trees, these being primarily in the family Rosaceae; the usually denser arrangement of the trees; the small scale of individual habitat patches; the wider dispersion; greater frequency of occurrence of habitat patches in the countryside. Some traditional orchards may have originally been commercial orchards but are now no longer managed intensively. Others are small orchards planted originally to produce fruit for local consumption or for the production of cider and perry (pear wine). They are usually dominated by older, less intensively managed ‘standard’ trees (branches springing above the reach of grazing animals) planted at relatively lower densities, which allows livestock grazing beneath the orchard canopy.

  • 4 Crick and the Domesday Book
    HISTORICAL NOTES THE MANORS OF CRICK - 4 Crick and the Domesday Book - 3 As we have seen, the first Norman lord of the manor of Crick was Geoffrey de la Guérche, who held it as part of his baronial estates as a tenant-in-chief of William the Conqueror. He originated from a family of some considerable rank, for his father Silvestre was lord of la Guerche and Pouence, both being towns near Rennes on the border of Brittany and Anjou. Silvestre was Chancellor of Brittany, but after the death of his wife, he entered the Church, and in 1075 was consecrated Bishop of Rennes. Geoffrey was known in Brittany as de Pouence, but after coming to England he changed his title to de la Guerche. It is by no means certain, but quite probable that in fact he held a command in William's invading army of 1066, for a count of Brittany named Alan Fergant provided and led a third of the entire force. Since these men were Bretons, Geoffrey could well have been amongst them. His social rank alone would have hardly qualified him otherwise for the extent of his estates afterwards awarded to him by William. It is easy, and indeed customary, to regard a village at the time of the Domesday Survey - and, for that matter, in the succeeding centuries as an isolated entity having an independent place in history. The reality was very much otherwise. Every village was part of a group, large or small, which made up the estate of a tenant-in-chief, and thus Crick was but one manor amongst the considerable number held by Geoffrey de la Guerche.

  • Welcome to St Joseph's Roman Catholic Church Monks Kirby
    Welcome to St Joseph’s Roman Catholic Church Monks Kirby Mass Times: Sunday morning 9:15, with children’s liturgy Monday 18:30, Tuesday 10:00, Wednesday 18:30, Friday 19:00 Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament Friday 18:30 Introduction Fr Matthew Pittam So we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another. Romans 12:5 Welcome to St Joseph’s Church. Often St Joseph’s is described as a family where people can find a sense of belonging, fellowship and growth in faith. We are a community which cares for each other but also one which seeks to be missional through our wide variety of activities. In many ways St Joseph’s ‘punches above its weight’ and has a church life which might not always be found in a much larger parish. This gives St Joseph’s a real sense of purpose and a focus upon the work of evangelisation. The parish serves an area known locally as the Revel. Within this area, St Joseph’s enjoys a strong profile and is well respected as part of the community. We enjoy good links with the local school and all of the other local Churches. Increased involvement in the school over the last few years has helped develop links with local families and those who are new to the area. We are very proud of the Catholic provision which continues to take place within the school. For many years we have provided chaplaincy to the two very large care and nursing homes within the parish.
