Park Lane, Fillongley, Coventry

A Rare Opportunity to Own a Historic Countryside Residence on approximately 2/3 of an acre.

Set amidst the rolling greenbelt countryside of Warwickshire, Glebe Farm House is a captivating 17th-century home steeped in history and character. Once part of the renowned Arbury Estate, the property was donated to the Church – hence its name, “Glebe.” Historical records held at the Warwick Records Office trace a dwelling on this site back to the 1660s. Remarkably, parts of the property still feature oak timbering believed to be reclaimed from decommissioned Royal Navy ships, originally constructed using oak from the nearby Forest of Arden.

Lovingly maintained and significantly enhanced by the current owners who purchased the property in October 1994 the house underwent a sensitive and substantial extension in 2010, linking it with adjacent outbuildings that have been thoughtfully converted into beautiful and functional living spaces. After decades of enjoyment, the owners are now relocating to Devon to be closer to family, presenting a unique opportunity to acquire this exceptional home.
