House For Sale £275,000
'The Stables' represents a rare opportunity to aquire a luxury, spacious property set within the grounds of Caldecote Hall which is a magnificent country estate. The property has use of the 35 acres of glorious and protected grounds of Caldecote Hall. Caldecote Estate is a secure gated development, with grounds maintained for your enjoyment, featuring a meandering river, landscaped lake and original Victorian fern garden lovingly restored and beautiful manicured lawns.
You will find hints of the Estate's past in many places – and many preserved original features wherever possible. The original clock tower, still working and is wound on a weekly basis chimes over the stable block; the church in the grounds has a door that still bears the scars from muskets
fired during the siege of the hall by King Charles' men during the civil war.
Caldecote has a rich and intriguing history – dating back to the Domesday book, where it is listed as a property owned by the Church of England. In the 17th century it was owned by the roundhead Colonel Purefoy, a staunch enemy of the King and as such, a wanted man. The original fortified
manor building was besieged by King Charles' nephews Princes Maurice and Albert. Whilst the Colonel hid away in the grounds, his wife, Dame Purefoy ably supported by her maids and her son-in-law made such a brave defence of the property, that they were spared their lives. The door from
the original property now forms the entrance to the church in Caldecote's grounds and still bears testament to the siege, with the holes from bullets fired from muskets clearly visible.
Caldecote is ideally located for peaceful country living within easy access of main routes and major cities. Caldecote is in Shakespeare's country and surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, yet within 20 minutes of Birmingham and its international airport. Coventry is just 30 minutes away,
whilst the historic town of Stratford Upon Avon is just 40 minutes away from Caldecote.
Travel to London is straightforward, either from the mainline stations within easy reach of your home, or the M1, which is less than 20 minutes drive.
Owning a home within the Caldecote Estate is a rare opportunity; a chance to own a little piece of English history and to experience luxury country estate living with all the convenience of a property managed and maintained for your enjoyment.
