There is a three port garage and two stables. There is no onward chain. This lovely property is only half a mile from the village of Monks Kirby where there is a popular primary school and pub. It is also within walking distance to the very popular Malt Kiln Farm Shop. The versatile ground floor accommodation comprises of a farmhouse style breakfast kitchen, utility and pantry, dining and sitting room. In addition, there is a family room, study/music room, shower room and office/bedroom 4. Upstairs there are 3 double bedrooms, 1 en-suite and a separate family bathroom. KEY FEATURES Ground Floor The main front door, with covered porch, leads you into the hallway with a cloakroom off to the side and open entrance into the light and spacious living room having large full height windows overlooking the south facing garden. The separate dining room also benefits from views over the garden and has a stable style door opening onto the courtyard with stairs rising to the first floor. This lovely entertaining space is perfectly situated next to the breakfast kitchen which has a range of oak fronted units including a lovely dresser style unit with plate rack above and space for a large table. The black granite veneer worktops and slate style flooring create a lovely farmhouse feel. There is an integrated dishwasher and a range style cooker. Double windows and a stable style door lead out to the south facing patio courtyard and garden beyond. The utility room houses the oil-fired boiler, space for a washing machine and sink with cupboard below. There is a walk-in pantry with ample storage. On the East side of the property is the area that could be used as an annexe. The family room has double doors opening onto the outside seating area for those summer days and a lovely feature fireplace with log burner for those cosy winter nights. This section of the property incorporates a study/music room, office, shower room and larger second office which could alternatively be used as a bedroom if required. They all have windows overlooking the courtyard and provide light and versatile accommodation. SELLER INSIGHT Nestled in the rural hamlet of Street Ashton – which lies a mere six miles from the historic town of Rugby and just nine miles from the bustling city of Coventry – is Clare Cottage, a very attractive and extremely well-appointed four-bedroom family home that also boasts around an acre of pretty gardens. “The house began life as a collection of farm buildings, but they were beautifully converted into this lovely home shortly before we purchased the property back in 2006,” says the owner. “In terms of what sold it to me, there were a whole host of things, but most of all it was the light. It has lots of windows, both front and back, so during the summer months especially, each of the rooms is bathed in sunshine throughout the day, and even on the dullest winter day there’s no real need to have the lights on. It’s also a house with a really warm and welcoming atmosphere; friends who come to visit will always comment on the atmosphere, it almost wraps its arms around you as soon as you set foot inside.” “Something else that attracted me to the property was the fact that the house has been so well designed. Each of the main living areas on the ground floor flow into one another so not only is it a really easy house to live in, but it’s also superb for entertaining, and it has great flexibility too. For instance, at one end is a suite of rooms, two of which are currently used as home offices and the other is a music room, but they could be extra bedrooms, one could be a child’s playroom… the possibilities are endless.” “The garden is yet another gorgeous feature and the views from it are simply stunning,” continues the owner. “We have a huge gravel courtyard area, which is a lovely place to sit out and entertain, and beyond that is a vast area of open lawn that’s edged with a mature border of shrubs and trees so the outlook is leafy and green for as far as the eye can see. It’s a real haven for wildlife, and the field at the very end is home to a herd of cows that will often wander down and poke their head over the fence. It’s an idyllic spot and a place where I’ve always felt far removed from the everyday hustle and bustle of life.” “One of my favourite rooms has to be the kitchen. It’s a real cook’s kitchen and a lovely big space in which the family can gather for informal meals. It also enjoys a tremendous view out across the courtyard, right the way down the garden.” “The house feels really nicely tucked away and it’s surrounded by some of the most beautiful countryside, however it’s by no means isolated. I can be in Rugby in just over ten minutes, Coventry in around twenty and we also have the lovely village of Monks Kirby just a stone’s throw away, which, among other things, boasts a highly sought-after primary school.” “The house and garden are just stunning as they are, but both have lots of potential to be further enhanced. The garden could be an absolute paradise for any budding horticulturalist with boarded beds for vegetables. To make the most of the light and those views, I’ve always thought that a conservatory would add the perfect finishing touch to the house itself.” “This is a property that I’d say really is in a league of its own, and probably the nicest house I’ve ever lived in so I’m going to be really sad to let it go,” says the owner. “In terms of what I’ll miss, it will be all the things that drew me to the property in the first place. It’s an exceptional family home and I’m sure its new owners will love it every bit as much as I do.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. First Floor From the dining room, stairs lead to first floor landing which gives access to the 3 bedrooms enclosed shower. Bedroom 2 is a light and airy double bedroom with dual aspect windows and and family bathroom. The master bedroom has a window overlooking the rear garden, a built-in fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is a lovely double bedroom and has a window overlooking the storage cupboard and ample space for wardrobes. The en-suite has white fitted furniture, wc and garden and views beyond. KEY FEATURES Outside The property is nicely set back from the road down its own private drive which leads to the substantial carport having space for 3 vehicles and two enclosed stables which can also provide excellent storage.

  • 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.
