Shepherds Fold is substantial country residence, rich in character and set within an idyllic and highly sought-after village location. Offering exceptional versatility and beautifully presented accommodation throughout, this impressive home has been thoughtfully arranged to suit modern family living and entertaining.

One enters the property via two entrances, with the original front entrance complemented by a more regularly used rear access. The magnificent reception hall sets the tone, showcasing a striking central spiral staircase rising to a galleried landing, with doors leading to the principal reception rooms.

At the heart of the home is the stunning open-plan kitchen, breakfast and family room. This superb space features a large central island with extensive storage, modern integrated appliances and ample seating. Bifold doors seamlessly connect the interior to the generous patio and pool area, creating the perfect environment for both family life and entertaining. From here, steps lead to an impressive drawing room, complete with a central fireplace and double doors opening to the rear gardens. Further steps rise to a cosy sitting room, enhanced by a well-positioned bay window offering delightful views across the gardens. There is also a dining room, accessed from the entrance hall, featuring beautiful oak panelling and a stone inglenook fireplace - ideal for more formal occasions with double doors opening to the front gardens. Additional accommodation includes a study, a home gym, a shower room, and a well-appointed utility room.

The first floor continues to impress, highlighted by a superb principal bedroom suite. This dual-aspect room features Juliet balconies that frame stunning views, alongside a luxurious en suite bathroom. Four further bedrooms are served by three bathrooms (two en suite), ensuring ample accommodation for family and guests alike. Enhancing the home's appeal further on this floor are a dedicated cinema room and a games room, perfectly suited for leisure and entertainment.

The property is approached via a sweeping, tree-lined driveway, flanked by land on either side, immediately conveying a sense of privacy and tranquillity.

Adjacent to the main house is a range of useful outbuildings, including a four-car garage, detached barn, stabling and several stores. Importantly, planning permission has been granted to convert the detached barn and stables into a four-bedroom, three-bathroom residential dwelling (Warwick District Council planning reference: W/23/1769). This offers an excellent opportunity for purchasers seeking ancillary accommodation, guest quarters or multi-generational living.

The formal gardens are beautifully maintained and feature a wide variety of mature trees, herbaceous borders and expansive lawns. A spacious patio and outdoor swimming pool provide the perfect setting for summer enjoyment, while the gardens, which wrap around the property, allow one to follow the sun throughout the day.

Further to the formal gardens, there is a paddock to the front of the property, ensuring the property works well for those with an equestrian interest.
