Description

Tucked away on a peaceful country lane in the historic village of Meriden, Meriden House is an outstanding Grade II listed Georgian residence set within 13.79 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds. Accessed via double electric gates, a sweeping gravelled drive leads to a turning circle, with the house elevated to the left, offering an impressive sense of arrival.

Built in 1792, the property boasts exceptional proportions and elegant symmetry characteristic of the Georgian era. The architectural significance of the house is reflected in its listed status, denoting it as a building of historic and architectural interest.

The home is entered through a distinguished pillared portico and double doors, opening into a grand marbled entrance hall that sets the tone for the refined interiors beyond.

To the left, the drawing room is a room of magnificent scale, featuring double-height sash windows and a central fireplace – a perfect space for formal entertaining. On the opposite side of the hall, the dining room is equally impressive with another elegant fireplace.

The principal reception rooms enjoy uninterrupted views over the mature gardens and surrounding grounds.

An adjoining wing offers superb leisure and entertainment spaces, including a spacious family/cinema room, a dedicated billiard room, and a games room, forming an ideal sports or recreation suite.

The heart of the home is the expansive kitchen, centrally located and beautifully appointed with a central preparation island and modern appliances. A cosy snug leads off the kitchen and flows into a light-filled dining area, perfectly suited as a breakfast room or informal conservatory.

Beyond lies a further sitting room with a study above, creating a flexible live/workspace with its own access to the rear courtyard – ideal for use as a home office, consulting space, or studio.

Gym & Spa Area
The recently refurbished wellness suite features a central hot tub, surrounded by a thoughtfully arranged layout including a serene yoga room, modern changing facilities, a combined sauna and steam room, a shower room, and a convenient cloakroom. Stylish glass doors open into the gym creating an airy and motivating environment.

First Floor Accommodation
The first floor offers luxurious bedroom accommodation. The principal suite enjoys breathtaking views over the gardens and surrounding countryside, enhanced by a spacious dressing room. Two further well-appointed bedroom suites provide generous double bedrooms. One features a recently refurbished family bathroom.

Garden & Grounds
A private track forks left from the main drive, leading to a well-positioned garage and additional parking area, subtly tucked away for convenience and privacy. The gardens and grounds are beautifully maintained, offering a seamless blend of formal landscaping and natural charm.

Manicured borders and traditional box hedging frame stone terraces and expansive flat lawns, creating an elegant outdoor setting. Steps descend to a sheltered patio, which overlooks the tranquil lake and surrounding countryside. A variety of mature trees – including majestic Oaks and Chestnuts – punctuate the grounds.

To the far side of the garden is a charming summer house. A wooded dell, threaded with a flagstone path, adds a touch of secluded magic.

Behind the courtyard lies a further lawned area, home to an orchard of young fruit trees, promising future harvests.

To the west of the main residence, two post-and-railed grass paddocks extend into the landscape, bordered by an agricultural barn complete with a separate metered water supply and its own dedicated entrance from the road. The land is currently let under a two-year Farm Business Tenancy.

A notable feature of the estate is the Heart of England public footpath, which crosses the lower grounds. This provides direct access to the adjoining countryside and an open invitation to explore the rolling Warwickshire landscape on foot.


Meriden House is situated in a most attractive setting, conveniently close to the centre of Meriden. The village offers an excellent range of everyday amenities including a variety of shops, a post office, a public house, a garage, and a primary school.
