Henshaw Homes Highlight
Originally part of the historic Marton House, this remarkable home offers over 250 years of history alongside beautifully updated accommodation and approximately 0.7 acres of private gardens.

A Home with a Story
Properties such as this are becoming increasingly rare.

Originally forming part of a substantial Georgian residence dating back to the mid-to-late eighteenth century, Marton House has played an important role in the village's history for over 250 years.

The house is believed to have originally been built by the Jourdain (later Jordan) family, whose roots in the village stretch back to the late seventeenth century. The family are thought to have descended from Huguenot settlers who came to England seeking religious freedom, before establishing themselves within the local community.

During the nineteenth century, Dr John Bowles Robertson substantially enlarged the original Georgian residence, extending it to the right and to the rear to create much of the elegant accommodation enjoyed today.

For over a century, Marton House was home to a succession of village doctors and was later divided into two separate dwellings during the 1940s.

Today, No. 2 retains the character, proportions and architectural charm that make period homes so desirable, whilst offering comfortable and versatile accommodation for modern family living.

Owning a home like this is about more than simply purchasing a property, it's about becoming the next custodian of a fascinating piece of Marton's history.

Thoughtfully Updated for Modern Living
While its history is undeniable, what makes this home truly special is the way it has evolved to meet the needs of modern life without losing the character that makes it so unique.

From the moment you step inside, you're welcomed by elegant proportions and a wealth of original features, including high ceilings, feature fireplaces, stripped timber flooring, traditional panelled doors and original tiled flooring, all combining to create a home of genuine warmth and timeless appeal.

The accommodation has been updated over the years, carefully balancing contemporary comfort with the integrity of the original building.

At the heart of the home sits a beautifully appointed country-style kitchen, complete with painted cabinetry, wooden worktops, generous storage, a useful pantry and adjoining utility room, creating a sociable space that's equally suited to busy family life as it is to entertaining friends.

The generous reception rooms provide exceptional flexibility, whether you're hosting family gatherings, enjoying cosy evenings by the fire or simply taking a quiet moment to appreciate the character and craftsmanship found throughout the property.

The versatile layout continues with two generous ground-floor bedrooms served by a modern shower room, making the home equally well suited to multi-generational living, visiting guests or those seeking dedicated home-working space.

Upstairs, the sense of space continues with two further double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys attractive views across the gardens, while the second benefits from its own en-suite shower room. A beautifully presented family bathroom and separate WC complete the first-floor accommodation.


Beautiful Gardens, Exceptional Privacy
Occupying a generous plot of approximately 0.7 acres, the gardens are every bit as impressive as the home itself.

Beautifully maintained and wonderfully private, the grounds provide an idyllic setting that changes with the seasons. Mature trees, established planting and expansive lawns create a peaceful retreat where there is always somewhere to enjoy the sunshine.

One of the property's most attractive features is the remarkable sense of privacy. Surrounded by neighbouring garden preventing further development, the grounds enjoy a wonderfully secluded feel, creating a setting that is increasingly difficult to find.

Whether entertaining on a summer's evening, enjoying breakfast outdoors or simply listening to the birdsong with a morning coffee, the gardens become a natural extension of the home itself.

To the front, secure gated access opens onto a generous driveway providing ample off-road parking together with a covered parking area.

A Lifestyle as Special as the Home
Set in the heart of the highly regarded village of Marton, this home offers the perfect balance between rural tranquillity and everyday convenience.

Surrounded by beautiful Warwickshire countryside, yet within easy reach of Rugby, Leamington Spa, Southam and major transport links, it's a location that appeals equally to commuters, families and those looking to embrace a slower pace of life without feeling isolated.

Properties of this character, setting and provenance rarely become available.

Beautifully maintained by its current owners and rich in both history and charm, this is more than simply a house - it's an opportunity to become part of the continuing story of one of Marton's most distinctive homes.
