House For Sale £2,750,000
Property Description
Built in 1810 and surprisingly unlisted, Broad Manor is a genuinely breathtaking family home. The exquisite brilliant white Georgian facade provides no hint of the contemporary interior, beautifully modernised with exquisite attention to detail. The property enjoys a high degree of privacy. It is approached through electronically-operated double wrought iron entrance gates over a sweeping driveway, the whole screened by mature foliage disguising the sublime hidden treasure beyond. A lower-level parking area with a detached garage block comprising one double and two garages features wide terracotta steps rising to a formal knot garden and the double front doors beyond.
An expansive, light-filled reception hall with three sets of French doors to the front aspect sets the tone for the luxurious nature of the remainder of the accommodation, configured over four floors. The sumptuous ground floor family and entertaining space provide a formal drawing room with a large sky lantern and French doors to a courtyard garden, a large sitting room with four sets of French doors to the knot garden, a state-of-the-art gym and an orangery-style dining room with vaulted glass roof overlooking the courtyard garden. The show-stopping contemporary kitchen presents bespoke units, state-of-the-art appliances, a neighbouring pantry and utility room and a spacious conservatory with French doors to the open-sided entertaining area and poolside beyond. The property also benefits from two generous basement areas to the lower ground floor, both suitable for various uses.
There are seven spacious bedrooms and six bathrooms arranged over the ground, first and second floors, together with a sizeable family room on the second floor, suitable for use as an additional bedroom if required. Of particular note is the magnificent principal bedroom suite with its vaulted cathedral ceiling, full-length oak flooring, freestanding jacuzzi bath, his and hers dressing areas, luxurious en suite shower room and private office.

Sellers' Insight
"As soon as we saw the house, we knew it was the home we'd been searching for. Our dream was always to create a fabulous home and entertaining space at the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, but we had to wait until the right property came onto the market. One that met our criteria of having the potential to indulge our mutual love of technology and my love of interior design in providing a secure space for our growing family. When we found Broad Manor, we knew it was the one - my husband even offered to pay the asking price, having only seen the drawing-room before the agent even had a chance to show us the rest of the house! We fell in love not only with its amazing views but also with the flexibility it offered to extend, to grow the house as our family grew. We've loved creating its formal reception rooms, fun yet functional family spaces, luxurious family and guest suites, including our bedroom suite, designed very selfishly to our dream specification, all with a modern, stylish yet comfortable ambience with ideas gleaned from my scrapbooks of ideas for luxury homes and interiors. We've also loved developing the garden - we love entertaining family and friends and have designed truly wonderful informal inside-and-out spaces to match our lifestyle. We love it when friends, family, and other visitors comment on how beautiful the house is. We'll miss it, but now is the time for it to be handed over to its next custodians while we move to a more suburban location to give our children more independence and a better social life nearer to their friends."
