Shrewley House is a beautiful family home overlooking open countryside on the edge of the popular village of Shrewley. The more significant part of the house is Georgian, but it originally dates to Elizabethan times, and there is also a Victorian addition. As a Grade II listed property, Shrewley House features abundant character, including exposed timers, high ceilings, cornicing, sash windows and open fireplaces.
The tiled entrance opens to an entrance hall with stone flooring. To the west wing of the house are several sizeable reception rooms, including a drawing room, which is a grand space for gatherings with a lovely bay window with double doors allowing light to flood into the room, a home office ideal for work or study and an attractive formal dining room to entertain guests in style with double-height windows and a feature fireplace. To the east of the house is a light and airy kitchen with wooden flooring, an Aga, a range of units, and a central island with a granite worktop. Off the kitchen is a substantial breakfast room with ample space for a dining table and continuation of the wooden flooring, and a sitting room with a feature fireplace and a bay window with an attractive window seat, the perfect place to relax and unwind.
On the first floor is the principal bedroom suite, which has a feature fireplace, dressing room and en suite shower room. Bedrooms two and three are both spacious rooms with en suites, and there is a further double bedroom with a wash hand basin. The second floor is ideal for guests or teenagers with a double bedroom, bathroom, separate WC and study area. There is ample storage in the loft area.
Outside, the property shares a courtyard with several attached cottages but also has its own drive and parking area off the courtyard, providing access to the garaging.
Shrewley House is surrounded on three sides by its formal gardens, which are well-stocked with mature trees and herbaceous borders. Mainly laid to lawn with several patio areas, a delightful orchard and, of course, the stunning views over farmland beyond, this garden is undoubtedly very special. It offers the perfect space to enjoy the beautiful views.
Shrewley is a charming village approximately five miles northwest of Warwick. The Grand Union Canal gracefully winds through the area, passing through Shrewley Tunnel and cutting. Shrewley Village Stores serves as a community hub and there are two local pubs, The Durham Ox in Shrewley Common and The Case is Altered at Five Ways.
The larger villages of Claverdon and Lapworth are close by with several amenities, including a village hall, post office, village stores, junior and infant schools and a gp surgery. Shrewley is approximately five miles northwest of Warwick and seven miles from Royal Leamington Spa. Both towns offer a range of amenities, including shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities. With its theatres and Shakespearean heritage, Stratford-upon-Avon is the region's cultural centre.
The area has an excellent range of schools, including Warwick Prep, Warwick School, Kings High, Ferncumbe C of E Primary School, and Claverdon Primary School.
Shrewley is well situated for access to the motorway network and railway stations at Hatton and Warwick Parkway with connections to the West Midlands centres of employment and surrounding towns.
There are a number of golf courses locally, including the Ardencote Manor Country Club at Claverdon and racing at Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick. The Cotswolds lie to the south.
Despite its modest size, Shrewley's picturesque surroundings and historical charm make it a delightful place to live, offering the ideal blend of rural charm and proximity to nearby towns.
