Watling Street, Witherley, CV9

Ground Floor

You arrive through a traditional six-panel door into a bright, tiled entrance foyer. Under the lofty, corniced ceiling, the original timber staircase winds upward, while a sash window floods the space with soft daylight. To your right, the formal dining room offers refined entertaining space, with deep-pile carpeting, twin recessed alcoves fitted with bespoke shelving and cabinetry, and a traditional black-mantle fireplace beneath a statement chandelier.

To the left of the foyer is the inviting living room, bathed in natural light from tall sash windows dressed in plantation shutters. Original wood flooring underfoot and decorative cornicing above maintain the period charm, while the room’s generous proportions make it ideal for gatherings or relaxed evenings.

At the far end of the foyer is a tastefully appointed ground floor shower room with a fully tiled walk-in shower, pedestal basin, and WC, paired with an adjacent under-stairs storage area for added practicality.

Turn left near the end of the foyer and you’ll discover the expansive kitchen. Classic white shaker cabinetry lines three walls, punctuated by a rich green range cooker set beneath an exposed brick chimney breast. The central granite-topped island invites both preparation and casual dining, illuminated by industrial-style pendant lights. Dual-aspect sash windows and a glazed rear door ensure seamless access to the outdoor entertaining space.

To the right of the foyer is a separate hall, where you’ll find the beautiful original staircase and a cosy family room just beyond, which is complete with soft carpeting, a cast-iron log burner and peaceful garden views, making it ideal as a snug, playroom or additional reception space.

First Floor

Climbing the original timber staircase, you reach a broad landing laid in warm engineered oak. This level hosts four serene bedrooms, each comfortably carpeted and warmed by double-panel radiators. The principal bedroom is a peaceful retreat: soaring ceilings, an exposed brick chimney feature and large sash-windows with fitted shutters framing garden and riverside views. Original cornicing and a central chandelier add a touch of grandeur, while generous space accommodates both super-king bedding and a cosy reading nook.

Bedrooms two and three share the same refined details, deep carpets, high ceilings, and tranquil décor, making them equally suited to children, guests, or a home-office setup. The fourth bedroom, occasionally used as a hobby room, benefits from built-in shelving carved into the eaves and a dormer window capturing the morning light.

Opposite these rooms sits the first-floor bathroom, a spa-inspired haven clad from floor to ceiling in oversized porcelain tiles. Twin pedestal basins rest beneath arched mirrors, while a frameless glass shower and corner Whirlpool bath invite indulgent soaks. Brass-effect fixtures and recessed downlights complete the serene, hotel-style ambiance.

Second Floor

The topmost floor of the property offers an exceptional level of flexibility, with two further generously sized bedrooms. The larger bedroom is ideal for use as a principal guest suite or teenage retreat, with ample room for a super-king bed and additional furnishings. The second bedroom, while more compact, still maintains the property’s elegant proportions and character features, and both rooms benefit from soft carpeting and large sash windows with fitted shutters.

A bright sitting room on this level serves as a perfect quiet retreat or media room, featuring a dormer window, neutral décor, and a feature fireplace. Adjacent is a sleek kitchenette fitted with base units, a countertop, and splashback, that is ideal for guests, older children, or extended family members seeking semi-independent living.

Completing this floor is a stylish bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC, modern basin unit, and full-height contemporary tiling. Clever storage niches and inset lighting throughout this level maximise practicality and comfort. The central landing also provides loft access and inset storage, and the entire top floor has recently been fitted with internal wall insulation, full documentation is available.

Outside

The gated driveway offers secure parking for several vehicles on gravelled hardstanding. Beyond, the rear garden unfolds as a private oasis with established trees bordering a neatly manicured lawn, and a paved terrace provides the perfect stage for summer barbecues or riverside relaxation. A side access gate leads to a handy flagged utility area, complete with water and power points, ideal for garden tools or an outdoor workshop.

The property has also benefited from significant modern upgrades, including a full CCTV system throughout, an integrated fire alarm system, an upgraded electrical system, and brand-new perimeter fencing. These additions not only enhance security and comfort but also make the home well-suited for potential commercial or mixed-use purposes, with many of the costly and time-consuming improvements already completed.
