Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
Stretton House offers a unique opportunity to purchase a property that is simply stunning. Dating back to 1920, this is a house that has the grandeur of a property much older. In fact, you’d be forgiven for mistakenly believing that this was a listed property.

Stretton House has the potential to make a perfect, and idyllic, home positioned within a strikingly beautiful setting. If you are not on the lookout for the perfect family home, Stretton House may still hold an appeal. Having previously been utilised as a yoga retreat, there is the potential to develop this property. Subject to planning, this property would make the ideal country hotel or could even be developed into individual apartments.

Regardless of the reason that you’ve taken an interest in this property, we have no doubt that you’d like to know more. Here, we’re going to fill you in on all that Stretton House has to offer.

Where Is Stretton House? - Stretton House is located on the outskirts of Burbage, some three miles south of Hinckley. Situated in a picturesque rural setting, the property benefits from stunning views of the open countryside with Nuneaton being just five miles away. Perhaps surprisingly for such an idyllic setting, Stretton House allows easy access to the road network. Being accessed from the A5, the M69 is only one mile away and this allows easy access to the M6, M1, and other major A roads. There are also great train links with stations at Hinckley and Nuneaton. These provide direct links to London and Birmingham.

The property itself benefits from an impressive degree of privacy thanks to the attractive woodland that shields it from Watling Street. It sits within Stretton Court which is made up of a further five private residences that were developed from the stables and outbuildings which were once part of Stretton House itself. Stretton House is, unmistakably, the main property here.

A Look Outside - Before we take a look at what the interior of this magnificent property has to offer it is worth exploring outside. Stretton House is set amongst an impressive 20 acres of landscaped gardens, although exact size to be confirmed. There are south-facing lawns, mature trees, and open fields. This picturesque setting makes it obvious what Stretton House was once used as a yoga retreat - you would struggle to find a setting so peaceful and easy on the eye.

By looking at the exterior of the property, you will notice that parking is never going to be a problem with ample room to accommodate visitors cars. You will also notice that the property is brick-built with a clay tiled roof. The property spreads over two floors and within the extensive grounds, there are also a number of outbuildings such as stables, workshop, and a garage. These all add to the character of Stretton House and the feeling of grandeur.

What The Interior Has To Offer - Before we embark on a tour of the rooms that are available at Stretton House, you will instantly realise that this eight-bed detached house has undergone extensive refurbishment and comes in fantastic decorative order. With double glazing, the property also benefits from having been partially rewired, mostly modern heating and hot water system, as well as CCTV and an alarm system.

Entering the property, you will first experience all that the ground floor has to offer, assuming that you don't choose to first go on and explore the extensive cellar that this property boasts. The foyer leads into an impressive, welcoming, hallway which immediately allows you to appreciate how vast Stretton House is. As you explore the ground floor, you will see find an impressive four family rooms along with one sitting room and one dining room. There is also a generously sized kitchen along with a separate laundry room. Alongside the downstairs bathroom and WC, you will also discover that you will never be short of storage space.

Something that you are sure to appreciate as you explore Stretton House are the magnificent views through the recently fitted windows and double French doors. Being able to look out onto the southerly landscaped gardens is yet another treat offered by this property.

Venturing upstairs, you will be greeted by the impressive bedrooms (one of which features an en-suite), along with two bathrooms, a shower room, and a WC. Three of these bedrooms are featured as part of the annexe that has given substantially more space to this already grand property.

As well as discovering an office space on the first floor you will also find a substantial dressing room with its own built-in wardrobes which leads to its own bathroom.

Stretton House Will Leave You In Awe - Finding an opportunity such as that offered by Stretton House is certainly rare. This property allows you the chance to live a dream country life. Being secluded enough to maintain your privacy, but close enough to travel networks to mean that you still remain connected, the location is a close to perfection as you will ever find. This property is truly awe-inspiring and makes the perfect family home. One that even has the potential to go and create a legacy.

As you see just how vast Stretton House is, you can appreciate why it holds great potential if you were to choose to develop the property. Aside from developing individual houses or flats, the property in its current state offers the perfect opportunity to explore the possibility of a hotel or even a care home. Subject to planning, the opportunities here are endless.

While the written word and a floor plan can allow a glimpse into what Stretton House is all about, these can never do this property full justice. The only way to truly appreciate what this vast property has to offer is by exploring it for yourself. The grounds and the property itself will leave you in awe and you’ll need no persuading to see that Stretton House offers a phenomenal opportunity. Get in touch today so that you can experience Stretton House for yourself.
