SUMMARY Concealed in quiet spot just off Bell Street, stands The Old Dairy Farmhouse. A charming grade II listed dwelling boasting three storey accommodation, with seven bedrooms, and five reception rooms. It's location grants privacy, despite being moments away from the centre of the village of Claybrooke Magna.
Ideal for those looking to commute to London, with Rugby train station just 15 minutes away with the 'fast' train getting you to London Euston in just 55 minutes. For those commuting by car, Coventry, Leicester and East Midlands Airport are around 35 minutes away.
Your first sight when arriving at The Old Dairy Farmhouse is the gated access to the long gravelled driveway, which runs the length of the grounds and leads you to the original entrance, and archway which leads through to the large gravelled courtyard. Once through the archway, you're greeted with an area that can support parking for multiple vehicles, and you first see the true grandeur of this property with parts dating back to the 1500's.
Steps lead to an elevated and seating area, and a pathway which leads to the main wrap-around garden area which is virtually split in to three sections; a large lawned area, a sizeable raised patio area and a further lawned area with beds for home grown fruit and vegetables.
There is a large 'open' style summer house, with light and power and there has previously been power and drainage for a hot tub.
The Farmhouse underwent significant refurbishment and extension in the 1980's adding three garages, and several additional internal rooms. The accommodation is such that it could lend itself to multiple commercial and semi-commercial uses (subject to the relevant permissions), including conversion to individual dwellings.
