Chestnut Square, Wellesbourne, Warwick, Warwickshire CV35

The Red House is a beautifully presented, Grade II listed Georgian property, dating to c1745 and constructed from brick with a tile roof. The property has a wealth of period features, including exposed beams and fireplaces, which complement the contemporary additions.

A charming red front door opens to a welcoming entrance hall, with a staircase leading to the first floor. To the left is a generous study, featuring a fireplace and a large bay window offering views to the front, and to the right, an elegant dining room enjoys equally lovely views across the front garden. The entrance hall continues to a cosy sitting room with an open fireplace and glazed, double doors leading into a bright and airy kitchen/breakfast room. The dining area features exposed, painted brickwork, a glazed roof that floods the room with natural light, and French doors that open to the delightful patio and lawned garden. A small step descends to the kitchen, which is fitted with a range of base and wall units, a Rayburn oven, integrated appliances, and an external door to the garden. A stylish WC and a well appointed utility room, offering fitted storage and space for a washing machine and dryer, complete the ground floor accommodation. Stairs from the hall descend to a useful cellar.

There are three generous bedrooms on the first floor, each with a different view over the village and garden. A spacious family bathroom features dual basins and a separate WC. A staircase in Bedroom three rises to the second floor, where there is a charming fourth bedroom with built-in eaves storage, currently used as an art studio.

The Red House is situated in a highly desirable position within the village, discreetly set back from Ettington Road. A wrought iron gate from Chestnut Square opens on to a stone pathway leading to the attractive front door. The property has a garage/storeroom, accessed via a second wrought-iron gate at the front of the house.

The generous rear walled garden is a lovely feature of the property. It is well-stocked to provide year-round colour and is principally lawned, offering complete privacy and seclusion, with mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. A stone-paved patio, accessed from the kitchen/breakfast room, provides a wonderful space for outdoor entertaining and dining. The outside space further benefits from a greenhouse and a summer house, which is currently used as a workshop, and a shed.
