Description

Jaw-dropping views, soaring ceilings, and over 2,300 sq ft of pure potential.

This extraordinary period country mansion is a rare gem—offering the chance to reimagine and refurbish an expansive home in one of the most spectacular settings you’ll find. From the moment you step inside, you're met with huge, light-filled rooms, incredible ceiling heights, and those breathtaking views that stretch across rolling countryside as far as the eye can see.

Set within three acres of beautifully landscaped grounds, with a double garage and plenty of parking, this is more than just a home—it’s a dream project in an unforgettable location. A true rural retreat with space, style, and scenery in abundance.

Grafton Court dates back to the late nineteenth century and has been meticulously reimagined as nine elegant apartments, where timeless character meets thoughtful design. Every detail has been carefully considered to honour the building’s heritage while creating homes of enduring charm.

Set on the edge of the picturesque village of Temple Grafton, the manor is surrounded by three acres of exquisite grounds and uninterrupted countryside views. The setting is nothing short of magical—rolling hills, woodland, and borage fields that burst into a haze of purple each spring. Framing this pastoral idyll is the gentle sight of the village cricket pitch nestled in the valley below.

The approach to the Manor is an experience in itself: a winding, tree-lined drive leads you through the landscape, and as you arrive, the red brick splendour of the house rises into view. It’s a moment that truly takes your breath away.

Apartment Three spans an impressive 2,393 sq ft across the first and second floors, offering a truly remarkable blank canvas ready to be reimagined. With space to comfortably accommodate four bedrooms, two to three bathrooms or en-suites, a generous living area, and a spacious kitchen with utility, the layout invites creativity and personalisation.

This apartment is rich in period detail—think original wooden sash windows, double-height skirting boards, intricate cornicing, and elegant architraves. Light pours in through large windows, accentuating the soaring ceilings and creating a wonderful sense of space throughout.

And then there are the views—tranquil and far-reaching, stretching across the manicured communal lawn to the open fields beyond. It’s a setting that brings peace and inspiration in equal measure, making this a rare opportunity to craft a one-of-a-kind home in a truly exceptional environment.

In brief – A striking central hallway runs the full width of the apartment, framed by elegant archways that lead your eye toward the show-stopping living room. Here, full-width windows flood the space with natural light and offer uninterrupted views of the grounds and beyond. A graceful spiral staircase ascends from this room to two further spaces above—ideal for use as a bedroom with its own sitting area or home office retreat.

Flanking the living space are two versatile areas, one of which could serve beautifully as a formal dining room, or alternatively a bedroom with en-suite potential. Both enjoy full-height windows, with one offering tantalising potential for a balcony addition.

To the rear, a modern kitchen, another spacious bedroom, a well-appointed bathroom, and a separate WC complete the layout. A steep staircase leads up to a generous loft room, perfect for a studio, workspace, or hobbies room—offering flexibility to adapt the home to your lifestyle.

Externally, the apartment benefits from a double garage en-bloc, allocated parking directly in front, and visitor spaces at the entrance to the estate.

This beautifully conceived layout is a perfect marriage of period grandeur and exciting potential—a unique canvas on which to create your dream home, entirely your own.

Location

Grafton Court enjoys an enviable position, nestled in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside and within walking distance of the charming village of Temple Grafton. Surrounded by rolling fields, ancient woodland, and panoramic views, it offers a rare combination of rural serenity and excellent connectivity.

Temple Grafton is a picturesque village with deep historical roots—its name reflecting a long-standing association with the Knights Templar. Ideally placed, it's just five miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, 3.5 miles from the historic market town of Alcester, and around 14 miles from Warwick. This enviable spot allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful village living with quick access to vibrant cultural centres.

The village itself has a warm and welcoming community, anchored by a lively village hall, a much-loved cricket club, and the striking Church of St Andrew’s—built in 1875 on the site of a medieval predecessor, and widely believed to be close to where Shakespeare wed Anne Hathaway. The Blue Boar and The Golden Cross, two charming local pubs, add to the convivial village atmosphere.

Outdoor enthusiasts will find this a paradise for walking, cycling, and exploring. Miles of public footpaths crisscross the surrounding countryside, with scenic highlights like Oversley Woods just moments away. Golfers can enjoy a round at Bidford Grange Golf Club, while race days at Warwick, Stratford, and Cheltenham offer exciting local events.

Families are well served by excellent nearby schools, including the highly regarded Temple Grafton C of E Primary School, rated 'Good' by Ofsted, and a range of strong secondary options in Stratford and Alcester, including Alcester Grammar School and Stratford Girls' Grammar School. There are also several excellent independent schools within easy reach, including King’s High School and Warwick School.

Commuting is easy, with access to the A46 and M40 within a short drive. Stratford-upon-Avon and Evesham railway stations offer regular services to Birmingham, Worcester, and London, while Birmingham Airport is approximately 45 minutes away by car.

Grafton Court truly is a hidden gem—offering a lifestyle rich in history, beauty, and community, all within easy reach of modern amenities. Whether you're looking for a peaceful retreat or a well-connected base with charm and character, this exceptional location delivers.

The apartment is offered with a share of the freehold, with each owner acting as a director of the management company, GCMCO Ltd. A monthly management fee of £125 covers day-to-day maintenance, gardening, and external window cleaning—ensuring the grounds and building are beautifully maintained year-round.

For those looking to refurbish, a local tradesman has estimated that a full renovation and redesign of the apartment could be achieved for under £50,000—making this an exceptional opportunity to create a bespoke home in a truly breathtaking setting.
