LOCATION:

Welford-on-Avon lies on the banks of the River Avon, on the borders of Shakespeare country, the north Cotswolds and the Vale of Evesham. It is well placed for access to the major Midland towns of Coventry, Birmingham, Redditch and Leamington Spa, as well as having good rail links with London from nearby Honeybourne. Its population

has doubled during the last twenty years, but careful planning has kept the village comparatively unspoilt, which is a major factor in its considerable popularity as a residential location. Day to day shopping can be carried out in the village, which has one general store, butcher, three public houses, as well as a primary school and Church, the village is well served to local needs and is only four miles south west of Stratford-upon-Avon. In addition, Junction 15 of the M40 motorway is about ten

miles away and the NEC, Birmingham International Airport and Railway Station are all within comfortable driving distance.

THE PROPERTY:

Compass House is located along a private drive in an exclusive and secluded setting, boasting fantastic distant views towards the surrounding countryside, Binton Woods and beyond. This substantial two-storey dwelling has been comprehensively re-modelled and re-furbished to a high standard throughout and offers both practical and

versatile ergonomics, ideally suited to a large family. The flow of accommodation works exceptionally well and in brief comprises:

An impressive, double height reception hall with solid oak flooring, galleried landing above and panelled doors to each of the five generous reception rooms. This versatile living space comprises a generous sitting room, separate formal dining room, family room, occasional bedroom and study/home office. The large family kitchen has recently been re-fitted with a comprehensive range of modern units and is further complemented by high gloss door fronts and contrasting work surfaces over. This area provides ample space to both entertain and prepare meals and has an open aspect to a contemporary dining area with vaulted ceiling and feature lighting. From

here, beyond bi-folding doors, you enjoy an open vista towards the adjoining gardens and beyond. There is also a useful utility/laundry room and a modern fitted ground floor bathroom.

To the first floor, a spacious landing leads to each of the five double bedrooms. The master suite boasts dual aspect windows, fine views to rear, a walk through dressing room and impressive, contemporary en suite bath and shower room. There is also an en suite shower room to the guest bedroom. The principal bathroom then services

the remaining rooms and this completes the accommodation for the main house.

OUTSIDE:

To the front of the property, behind double-opening electric gates, sits a courtyard parking area, which provides access to the main house and the triple car garage, which has the benefit of a spacious, self-contained one bedroomed annexe above. In more detail this comprises a private access point with stairs rising to the upper floor. There is a generous open-plan living room and kitchen, a double bedroom and functional shower room suite. This space would be ideal for a dependent relative, au-pair

or could provide a potential income through an organisation such as Airbnb.

Continuing to the rear of the property, the gardens have been exceptionally well landscaped and are designed to offer a sense of maturity and tranquillity. The paved terrace provides the perfect space to entertain and enjoys elevated views to the garden and beyond. There are a number of mature flowering shrubs, trees and plants throughout, breaking up the landscape and helping enhance the feeling of this fantastic semi-rural setting. There is also an extensive tiled canopy, which provides a

welcome break from the sun in the summer months, but also a covered seating and BBQ area, together with storage for garden ornaments and a ride-on mower. In all, the plot extends to approximately 0.75 of an acre.

A superior and commanding detached residence in a quiet, mature setting (Approximate GIA 5622 sq ft inclusive)
