4 bed detached house for sale

Old School Lane, Lighthorne, Warwick, Warwickshire CV35

Heath Farm House is a beautifully restored former farmhouse in a tranquil, picturesque setting on the edge of Lighthorne village. The current owner has invested significantly in enhancing both the interior and exterior of the property over recent years. The property offers an exciting opportunity for future buyers to further extend the ground floor accommodation, as planning permission has already been secured. The stunning gardens and grounds complement the impeccable interior, with meticulous landscaping and thoughtful design evident throughout. Every aspect of Heath Farm House has been carefully curated to provide a highly desirable countryside retreat.

Heath Farm House is approached via a gated entrance leading onto a tree lined, gravel-stone driveway with lighting which ensures a dramatic entrance to the property and offers ample parking for numerous vehicles. Parking is available both behind the property, adjacent to the garages, and in a separate additional parking area situated on the far side of the house. The property is surrounded by beautifully landscaped lawned gardens that extend across multiple areas, enhanced by a variety of mature trees that add to the estate's privacy and charm.

The current owner has undertaken numerous enhancements to the property, including the installation of new flooring, fireplaces and radiators throughout. A significant transformation involved knocking two bedrooms into one to create a stunning principal suite. Outside, the property benefits from new gates and electric connections extending to the end of the field. Additional improvements include new fencing, external painting and extensive lighting.

The front door opens into an entrance hallway that provides access to the formal reception rooms. These include a drawing room featuring a bay window and log burner, and a dining room also with a bay window, fireplace with log burner, panelled walls and a staircase ascending to the first floor. Both have beautiful parquet flooring. The kitchen/breakfast room has a central island with breakfast seating, tiled flooring, French doors opening to the garden and a small separate room which could be used as a gym or office.

Upstairs, the principal suite is spectacular and features a spacious, elegant bedroom, dressing room and en suite bathroom with a luxurious copper bath and shower. On the first floor, there is a further bedroom suite with an en suite shower room, along with a separate study. Upstairs on the second floor, there are two further bedrooms and a shower room. The landing has plenty of built-in storage.

Immediately adjacent to the house is a spacious, paved terrace, ideal for outdoor entertaining and dining. From here, access is available to a range of outbuildings constructed from brick with tiled roofs. These include an open-fronted log store, a laundry room equipped with a sink and plumbing for a washing machine, and a garden store providing valuable storage space.

A spacious timber outbuilding, store, or workshop with a corrugated roof provides versatile additional storage. Complementing this are several brick-built outbuildings, further enhancing the property's storage options. Adjacent to the paddock, a modern barn constructed from block and timber offers valuable extra space, featuring an up-and-over door, electric supply, and power, making it ideal for various uses.

The paddock is accessed directly from the garden, totalling an additional 1.5 acres including a field shelter, store and two stables. A water main has been fitted into the paddock for the use of the animals. The buildings in the paddock and the animals are available by separate negotiation.

Planning permission was granted in December 2022 for the erection of a single-storey extension to the side of the main house, comprising leisure facilities and a new boundary wall, and alterations to the existing garage building (Ref: 22/03567/ful).
