A rare and exciting opportunity to create a truly special rural home, set in an idyllic countryside location with far-reaching views across open farmland.

Kedleston currently comprises a detached bungalow extending to approximately 122 sq m, sitting within a generous plot of around 1.5 acres. 

Set well back from Idlicote Road, the bungalow is approached via an in-and-out driveway, with lawns to the front that blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside. The land wraps around the property and extends predominantly to one side, offering excellent scope for a range of uses and being particularly well suited to equestrian or lifestyle interests, redevelopment, extension or alternative layouts, subject to the necessary planning consents.

As the property currently stands, the accommodation opens into a good-sized living room, flooded with natural light and featuring an attractive fireplace, with space for both seating and dining. Double doors to the front further enhance the light and outlook.

The kitchen, positioned to the rear, is again bright and welcoming, enjoying views over the rear gardens. It is fitted with a range of integrated appliances, wall and base units and solid oak worktops, providing a practical everyday space.

Beyond the kitchen are a number of additional rooms currently used in connection with a dog grooming business. These spaces offer excellent flexibility and could easily be repurposed to suit a wide variety of needs, including utility rooms, home office space, studios or ancillary accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.

The bungalow also offers three double bedrooms and a good-sized family bathroom, completing the existing accommodation.

The plot enjoys a peaceful rural setting, yet sits close to an exclusive development of bespoke barn-style homes, underlining both the quality of the location and the potential to create something exceptional.

Location

Kedleston sits between the unspoilt hamlet of Idlicote and the charming village of Whatcote, enjoying a peaceful rural position surrounded by open countryside. Idlicote is centred around a Norman church and a collection of traditional brick and stone houses, while Whatcote offers a strong sense of community, home to the historic Church of St Peter and the highly regarded Michelin-starred Royal Oak public house, both within a pleasant stroll.

Set within the rolling countryside of south Warwickshire, close to the northern edge of the Cotswolds, the area is known for its tranquil atmosphere and unspoilt landscapes, offering an enviable balance of rural living with accessibility.

The popular market town of Shipston-on-Stour lies close by at around 4 miles with an excellent range of everyday amenities, including independent shops, cafés, pubs, schooling and leisure facilities.  The area is also well placed for access to Stratford-upon-Avon, Chipping Campden and the wider Cotswolds.

For greater connectivity, there is easy access to the motorway network, with regional centres readily accessible. Banbury station offers a fast mainline service to London Marylebone in around an hour, making the location practical as well as appealing for those seeking rural living without isolation.

Transport 

Despite its rural feel, Kedleston is exceptionally well connected. The M40 is within easy reach, providing fast routes to Oxford, Warwick, Leamington Spa and London. Rail services are available from nearby stations including Moreton-in-Marsh and Banbury, offering direct connections to London Paddington and Marylebone respectively.

All in all, Kedleston offers bags of potential in a beautiful countryside setting — a rare opportunity to create a bespoke home in a highly desirable rural location.
