RED BRICK BARN Red Brick Barn is an extremely attractive barn conversion that boasts a splendid position within the delightful Warwickshire hamlet of Hill Wootton.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful barn conversion in the sought after hamlet of Hill Wootton. Red Brick Barn has been thoughtfully designed and renovated by its current owners four years ago. Offering four bedrooms in the main house and a double bedroom annex with en-suite above the double carport, a substantial garden including all weather tennis court, the property must be viewed to be appreciated. This wonderful home offers flexible open plan living in a superb rural location north of Leamington town centre, with easy access to the Midlands motorway network and surrounding towns. The property has been modernised to a high standard throughout with excellent storage, built-in appliances and a ground source heat pump.
Seller Insight Red Brick Barn is an extremely attractive barn conversion that boasts a splendid position within the delightful Warwickshire hamlet of Hill Wootton. It was firstly the potential of the barn itself but secondly the fabulous location that initially attracted us to the property, says Timothy. It lies almost equidistant between the towns of Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth, so it s very convenient, but Hill Wootton itself is surrounded by nothing but farmland, so it s incredibly peaceful here and feels a million miles away from the hustle and bustle. When we embarked upon the conversion we were very keen to create a modern family home, but at the same time retain all of the building s character and charm, so there s a wealth of lovely period features that sit beautifully alongside the more contemporary fixtures and fittings. The layout is very open and free flowing, so there s a wonderful feeling of space, but the house as a whole has a very comfortable, almost cosy feel throughout. And as we started from scratch we were also able to incorporate technology such as a ground source heat pump, so it s also very economical to run. Another really appealing feature of the property was definitely the outside space, continues Timothy. With barn conversions it s often very difficult to find a garden that naturally works with the building itself, but in the case of Red Brick Barn it was ideal. It s a very large space with natural borders, and it came with the added bonus of a tennis court. We ve had the garden beautifully landscaped, and it now features mature trees, including four very impressive magnolia trees, lots of shrubs and flowers, a huge lawn and a sunny patio. It s a great family space and very good for entertaining. As a family we tend to spend most of our time in the large kitchen, dining and living space, says Timothy. We have sofas in there, a TV and a big dining table, so we can all be together without feeling on top of one another. It s the combination of very beautiful and tranquil surroundings and ease of access into a number of well-served towns that I think makes this location so special, says Timothy. We really do enjoy the best of both. Adjacent to the house we have a large double garage with a really useful annexe space above, says Timothy. Our 18 year old son lived in it for a while as it gave him both privacy and a bit of independence, but it would also be great for guests or to accommodate an elderly relative. *
