7 bed detached house for sale

Langdon Lane, Radway, Warwick, Warwickshire CV35

Occupying a private setting within the south Warwickshire countryside, Valley Farm is an enchanting and unspoilt property, approached from a tree lined driveway. This very special family home has remained in the same ownership for nearly 40 years and is believed to date back to 1760. The traditional house, ancillary flat and range of adjoining buildings are centred around a courtyard and offer enormous potential. Outside are mature gardens divided into formal and informal areas which compliment the house and setting. Extending to just over 20 acres in all, the property has two principal fields, an area of planted broadleaved woodland and large pond.

The Farmhouse currently occupies one corner of the courtyard with enormous character and original features throughout with light and airy reception rooms. The living space is arranged over three floors and currently has six bedrooms. Subject to planning the adjoining outbuildings offer scope to extend the main house further if required to create a superb entertaining space.

There is an enclosed terrace garden to the rear of the farmhouse within the courtyard, to the front of the house there is a walled garden with lawns, vegetable garden and established planting leading up to the garden room. Wrapping around the house and buildings are areas of sweeping lawns and avenues bordered by mature trees.

Within the courtyard there is a charming 1 bedroom cottage with open plan accommodation on the ground floor and a double bedroom and bathroom on the first floor, again the adjoining outbuildings offer scope to either extend the flat or create further ancillary accommodation.

Within the courtyard there is an impressive vaulted, open plan barn with flagstone flooring which has served as a workshop. There is also a wide range of single storey open-fronted former cattle sheds which would be suitable for garaging, stabling or other amenity uses. Within the courtyard there is also a building that has been converted and is used by the current owners as a gallery, but subject to planning could be used for further accommodation.

Adjoining the main house is a row of traditional stables and tack room. Overlooking the grounds and backing onto the walled garden is an indoor swimming pool.

Within the grounds is a 3 bay portal framed agricultural building, currently used as a forage store and also a large timber building historically used for chickens.

The land extends to just over 20 acres in all and is made up of two main fields, one is of just under 8 acres, stock fenced and down to permanent pasture providing established grazing for horses or other livestock. To the north of the property is an arable field of around 10 acres which could also be put down to grass to provide further grazing.

To the west of the property is a block of around 1.5 acres of broadleaved woodland planted by our clients through which tracks have been mown.

Radway is a picturesque south Warwickshire village situated at the base of Edgehill, the site of the historic battle of Edgehill in 1642. The village is made up of attractive period houses and cottages constructed mainly of local Horton ironstone with a parish church and village hall. The nearby Primrose Hill Farm, just outside the village of Arlecote has a brilliant pop up restaurant and the Castle pub at Edgehill is within walking distance.

The property also sits within the heart of the Warwickshire Hunt country and provides easy access to a number of nearby equestrian centres/event venues, indoor arenas and all-weather gallops, There is also great hacking around the Radway area.
