Lavishly designed with more than a touch of decadence, this extraordinary getaway has room for up to six guests across three bedrooms and is part of a Grade II*-listed, 17th-century mansion set within beautiful grounds. Located 2 miles from Hockley Heath, it sits on the edge of the Arden countryside and boasts walks and cycle routes from the door. For seasonal outdoor activities, Umberslade Adventure is 2 miles away, while the villages of Tanworth-in-Arden and Henley-in-Arden are both within 5 miles. This is an ideal base from which to explore Warwickshire and the West Midlands, with the bright lights of Solihull (8 miles) and Birmingham (15 miles). Historic Stratford-upon-Avon is only 14 miles away. Another option for family fun is the West Midlands Safari Park, 26 miles away, while Warwick Castle, Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House are all reachable within 19 miles.
Enter via the shared entrance and head through your front door into the apartment. The grandeur of this incredible property is immediately apparent. It blends impressive original features, including carved woodwork, ornate fireplaces and detailed plasterwork, alongside striking artworks, dramatic furnishings and elegant light fittings. In the hallway is a working vintage jukebox which you can use to add a musical accompaniment to your stay. The kitchen is on this level, with a wall of cupboards and appliances complemented by an island unit and a wine cooler. While cooking you can also watch the Smart TV. This space flows into the dining area, where tall chairs and extravagant place settings will make you feel like royalty as you eat. For an after-supper film, head into the private cinema room with its relaxed seating, where there’s also a concealed dart board. The three impressive bedrooms, one king-size and two doubles, are also on this level and share a bathroom and a shower room, with a separate WC also provided. The bathroom includes a freestanding bath, marble-tiled wall and walk-in shower. Take the stairs up to the mezzanine, which overlooks the dining area, to find a large, open-plan living space divided into separate seating areas with yet more opulent furnishings and lovely garden views. This level includes a grand desk for catching up with essential admin as well as an inviting snug (up four tiled steps) with a Smart TV.
Your private terrace with seating has another exceptional touch in the form of an outdoor TV, should you wish to catch your favourite shows while enjoying the fresh air and stunning views. The wider, shared grounds are immaculately kept and include huge areas of lawn and mature trees. There is allocated parking for two cars, making arrivals and departures easy.
