Holyoake House is a wonderful Grade II listed family home in the heart of Warwickshire. The property has an abundance of original period features including flagstone floors, exposed beams, original doors, staircase and fireplaces. These have been complemented by later additions including the oak framed garden room, stripped antique pine doors and modern bathroom suites.
One enters the property via a reception hall with doors to the principal reception rooms which include a delightful drawing room with wood burning stove set into a lias stone chimney breast and a dining room with a wood burning stove and window overlooking the rear gardens.
The hub of this home is sure to be the open plan kitchen/breakfast room having a range of hand painted units with a granite worktop, Aga and Belfast style sink. There is ample space for a dining table in the breakfast area and a well-placed substantial pantry with granite cold shelf and shelving further enhance the kitchen area. The kitchen is open-plan to the garden room which affords much natural light into this generous entertaining space. There are leaded French doors leading out to the south-facing terrace which offers wonderful views of the garden and paddock beyond.
The first floor has a principal bedroom which is dual aspect with an en suite shower. Three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor accommodation.
The property is approached via a gated driveway to the side, offering parking for several cars and giving access to the double garage.

There is a well-stocked orchard at the end of the garden which has several varieties of fruit trees and a separate fruit and vegetable garden.
Ensuring Holyoake House would lend itself to the equestrian purchaser, a gate leads from the garden to the paddock which has stables, a field shelter and post and rail fencing to the perimeter.
