3 bedroom village house

Holly Bush House is a pretty detached village house built of attractive Hornton ironstone dating from 1912 under a slate roof with accommodation over three floors. The property has been very well maintained and updated by the present owners, and all the windows have been replaced, seven of them, along with the two external doors, as recently as 2022. Principal rooms have attractive coved cornices, and there are attractive pine-panelled doors.

The accommodation is well laid out with good ceiling heights. Hall with the timber staircase rising, painted panelling to one wall and quarry tile floor, sitting room with a wide south-facing window and west-facing window and attractive cast iron fireplace with timber surround. Dining room with a cast iron range with a pine surround, built-in cupboard and shelves and large understair store. Kitchen with a range of kitchen cupboards with heatproof tops and wall cabinets with sink and cooker, attractive brick alcove with shelves to either side, tiling, quarry tile floor and door to the rear garden. Plumbing for washing machine and dishwasher.

To the first floor is a large landing and cloakroom, family bathroom and principal bedroom with windows to three sides, and decorative Art Deco cast iron fireplace. West-facing second double bedroom with built-in wardrobe.

To the second floor, the staircase rises to a large studio/study with window and roof light, leading to double bedroom three, which has an en suite shower room.

Outbuilding and garden

A short distance from the kitchen door is a detached stone outbuilding, which, subject to planning permission, could be sympathetically linked to the house and provide a fantastic kitchen/family room. The house has a lovely enclosed garden, which is a real feature of the property. There is a patio off the kitchen, lawn and a selection of traditional cottage garden beds and borders with plants and shrubs with a stone wall with close boarded fence above to the roadside and the rear and a flagstone seating area. To the front is a gravel parking area for two cars.

Holly Bush House is situated on a quiet lane in the Conservation Village of Warmington on the Oxfordshire/ Warwickshire borders. Positioned immediately below the slope of Edge Hill, Warmington is a quintessential English village with stone houses and cottages situated around a large village green and duck pond. The village has an active community, which benefits from a village hall, Parish Church, The Plough public house and a local farm shop.

In the area are National Trust properties, including Upton House and Farnborough Hall, Compton Verney House and an Art Gallery are also nearby. The M40 gives access to Oxford, London, the West Midlands and the more comprehensive motorway network.

There is a range of state and independent schools in the area to suit most requirements, including Shenington Private and Fenny Compton Primary Schools, Bloxham Public School, Tudor Hall School for Girls, Warwick Prep and Public School and King's High School for Girls. Kingsley School for Girls Arnold Lodge is in Leamington Spa. King Edwards Grammar School for Boys and Shottery Girls Grammar School are in Stratford-upon-Avon.
