Little Watchbury is a beautiful, semi-detached, Grade II listed family home in the heart of Barford village. The property is a brick and timber construction with leaded light windows to the front, formed from the east wing of a large village house with Tudor origins. The property has Georgian and 1920s additions and embellishments, creating a sense of space through generously sized rooms and mostly high ceilings. Beyond the beautiful front door lies a porch with terracotta tiled flooring, providing access to a cloakroom and a spacious utility room. The entrance hall, with parquet flooring, flows into a magnificent, dual-aspect sitting and dining room, split by a wooden arch and complete with an open fireplace, detailed ceiling, and external door to the stone-paved patio and lovely gardens beyond. The entrance hall also provides access to an impressive drawing room with a wealth of character features and stunning views of the garden and grounds. Down a few steps is the kitchen/breakfast room, with a range of base units beneath a rolltop worksurface with integrated appliances and access to a large pantry and cellar.

Stairs in the entrance hall rise to the first-floor landing, providing access to a principal bedroom with an en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and a spacious family bathroom. Each bedroom is generous in size and offers slightly different aspects.

The property is accessed from the High Street through wooden gates, which provide access to a tarmac drive with a double garage and ample parking for multiple cars.

The gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, extending to 1.39 acres in the heart of the village. The formal garden is principally lawned and is well-stocked with mature trees and herbaceous borders. A gravel path leads from the stone-paved patio, accessed from the sitting and dining room, to a one bedroom bungalow (currently uninhabitable), providing a fantastic development opportunity for a potential buyer (subject to planning). Beyond the bungalow and formal gardens is a paddock area bordered by estate fencing, offering wonderful views of the open land beyond.


Little Watchbury is situated in the heart of the extremely popular South Warwickshire village of Barford. The village has many amenities, including a parish church, recreational grounds, village hall, community shop, primary school and two public houses.

Barford is well placed for the local towns of Warwick, Leamington Spa and Stratford-upon-Avon, all of which offer a wide range of shopping and leisure facilities, including the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company theatres in Stratford.

There are excellent state and public schools in the area to suit most requirements, including boys and girls grammar schools and The Croft Prep School in Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwick Prep and Public Schools in Warwick, and the Kingsley School for Girls in Leamington Spa. For the commuter, junction 15 of the M40 is just 1.5 miles away, and Warwick Parkway Station is 6 miles away, providing direct trains to London Marylebone.

Leisure activities include golf, which can be enjoyed at local courses in Stratford upon Avon and Leek Wootton, and racing at both Warwick and Stratford racecourses.

Warwick 3 miles, Leamington Spa 6 miles, Stratford-upon-Avon 7 miles, Solihull 18 miles, M40 (J15) 1.5 miles, Warwick Parkway Station 6 miles (trains to London Marylebone from 69 minutes), Birmingham International Airport 21 miles (distances and time approximate).

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on December 31, 2021

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
