4 bedroom character property for sale

An incredible, 'once in a lifetime' opportunity to purchase a superb example of a 'Vesey House' dating back to approx. 1540. Built by The Bishop John Vesey upon his return to Sutton Coldfield, Warren House Farm is just one of five known remaining Vesey Houses and offers a wealth of history and character, retaining many original features including the original stone spiral staircase. Accommodation includes reception hall, living room, dining room, kitchen, garden room, four/five bedrooms, two bathrooms, beautiful gardens, double garage and various outbuildings including a superb barn, ripe for conversion (subject to planning).

Come Inside:
Entering this historic home, you are greeted by a traditional reception hall with an abundance of charm and character which extends through the whole home. Windows to the front and rear allow plenty of natural light in and doors lead to the kitchen, guest wc and the inner hallway. The kitchen is fitted with traditional style units with wooden work surfaces. Exposed beams and quarry tiled floor add to the character and a door leads to the first outbuilding which in turn leads to the double garage and barn. The living room is a stunning example of 16th century craftmanship with exposed beams, sandstone and brick walls and a large fireplace and there are windows to two sides. Next door is the dining room which could make an ideal home office or snug and leads to the garden room enjoying views over the beautiful rear gardens. The inner hallway features two staircases, one being more modern for convenience, and the other being the original stone spiral staircase with almost 500 years of wear on the steps immersing you into the incredible history of this wonderful home.
To the first floor, the charm and character continue. The principal bedroom is a beautiful room with windows to the front and rear enjoying views over the gardens and stunning exposed beams to the ceiling. The family bathroom is also a wonderful space with lots of character and a free-standing bath sitting in pride of place in the centre of the room. There is also a separate shower cubicle, wc, wash hand basin and exposed floorboards. A door leads to a room with many potential uses but could make an ideal dressing room or office with views over the rear garden, exposed beams and an archway and door leading to bedroom two with windows to the front and rear and a door leading to walk-in wardrobes and a bathroom. Finally to the first floor is a single bedroom with window to the side and fitted wardrobe. Moving to the second floor, an original timber staircase rises to a large open landing/ sitting room with a window to the rear and a door leading to the final bedroom which is full of character with exposed beams and roof trusses with a window to the side.

Come Outside:
The property is set well back from the road with a large, gated gravel driveway leading to the double garage and entrance porch. The rear garden is an absolute delight with a plethora of shrubs and plants with shaped, mature borders and an expanse of lawn as well as areas of gravel ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining. Mature hedgerows and trees to the borders give plenty of privacy. There are various outbuildings and store rooms as well as a fabulous barn with doors and windows to the side looking into the garden and roof windows allowing for additional natural light. This space has the potential of being converted and bought into the main property subject to planning permission.
