Description
Built partly of Lias limestone and partly of brick, Montgomery House is an imposing house dating from the eighteenth century. The property is not listed, and offers scope for significant improvement and remodelling.

The front elevation is brick and the rear elevation is stone with attractive brick detailing. Across a small courtyard from the house is the stone built coach house with scope to create ancillary accommodation or home office for remote working, subject to planning permission. The accommodation is double storey to the front and three stories to the rear.

The front door opens to the hall with a fine elegant curved staircase and handrail. To one side is the dining room with cast iron grate to the fireplace and steps down to a breakfast room and kitchen.

To the other side of the hall is the drawing room, which is dual aspect running from front to back of the property with a fireplace with cast iron grate. There is an unusual link between the two reception rooms behind the staircase. A utility room/back hall has steps to an extensive cellar storage, which also houses the gas fired boiler and a wine cellar. Off the drawing room is a ground floor bedroom suite with its own outside door, lobby, double bedroom 5, walk in closet and en suite bathroom.

To the first floor is the principal bedroom suite with double bedroom with fireplace and steps up to a dressing room and en suite bathroom. Double bedroom two has wardrobes and en suite bathroom. There is a south facing bedroom 3 which is served by a further shower room. To the second floor is a further bedroom suite with bedroom 4, shower room and dressing room.
There are two further low boarded attic rooms.

Attached to the house is a double open fronted garage. Across the courtyard is the coach house with a garage with double wooden doors in the gable end, and two store rooms/potting shed/workshop, and an outside staircase to a small loft room and storage above. There is a cast iron hand pump in the courtyard.

The property is approached along Mill Lane which is a private road. There is access into the courtyard and garaging to the rear of the house and a 5-bar gate gives access to a parking area to the front.

The garden is principally lawned and contains shrub and bulb beds. The garden is enhanced by fine mature trees including beech and copper beech, ash, sycamore, tulip tree, flowering cherry, evergreen trees, magnolia, yew and oaks and a lonicera hedge against the lane. Part of the garden has been left as a spinney with woodland bulbs, mown paths and three apple trees. The garden incorporates two ornamental ponds with a rill between, with a circulation pump, not currently operating. To the side of the garden is a swimming pool, not currently in use, and a timber and glazed summer house with paved floor. Below the side lawn is a vegetable garden area, with greenhouse behind a beech hedge, with plum and hazel trees.

Montgomery House is situated off a quiet no through lane just past the fine former windmill. The village is well served with amenities, including All Saints Church, primary school, range of shops, public houses, chemist, garage, library and doctor's surgery with bus services to surrounding towns. Nearby Stratford-upon-Avon with its theatres and Shakespearean heritage is the region's cultural centre. The Fosse Way, a short distance from the village, gives ready access to the Cotswolds to the south.
