School Lane, Hunningham, Leamington Spa

Fairmont House is a superbly appointed, spacious approx. 3,709 sq.ft (including garage) detached family home which has been sympathetically extended by the current owners to provide flexibility and configured to give light and airy accommodation spread over two floors. Occupying a prominent elevated position and adjoining a ‘site of special scientific interest’, the house is situated on a quintessential quiet country lane. The house is approached via a gravelled ‘in and out’ driveway providing extensive off-road parking, augmenting the double garage with an electronic remotely operated door. The residence boasts: open porch with security lighting, through entrance hallway, cloakroom, four generous reception rooms, stunning kitchen with central island and high-quality oak units complimented by granite work surfacing and separate utility. Additionally, there are five double bedrooms (three with en-suite facilities) and a family bathroom. Externally, the wrap around garden is a particular feature of Fairmont House extending around three sides of the property with terracing and patio areas being readily accessible from many of the rooms via multiple French doors as well as a well-appointed Home Office (light, power and integral cloakroom), a Summer House and garden shed. The site extends to some 0.29 acres.

Location - Hunningham is a tranquil, charming, highly regarded and sought after village of some antiquity being mentioned in the Doomsday book as too is the Saxon church. Hunningham was mentioned in Country Life (29th May 2024) as being one of a select number of “picturesque villages”. Set almost equidistant between the Regency splendour of Royal Leamington Spa with its extensive array of facilities and the market town of Southam the community is surrounded by glorious open Warwickshire countryside, and benefits from proximity to Warwick, Stratford Upon Avon, and south to the Cotswolds. Set close by the River Leam, Hunningham provides a wide range of leisure opportunities including a profusion of rural walks, livery, two thriving cricket clubs (Hunningham and Offchurch, the latter also offering tennis and netball facilities) and two noted gastropubs (the riverside “Red Lion in Hunningham and “The Stag” in Offchurch). There are excellent educational amenities readily accessible within both the private and state sector whilst first rate transportation links include Leamington Spa and Coventry railway stations (London and Birmingham), the M40 (bringing within easy reach Birmingham, the Home Counties and London) and Birmingham International airport.
