The Manor House, a restored Tudor Grade II listed property, blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary design, offering grand living spaces and beautiful gardens in an idyllic setting. An architect led professional restoration has resulted in the most magnificent family home, offering sumptuous accommodation, including four bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, detached garaging and incredible outdoor space.

Details

Built in 1578, The Manor House in Preston Bagot, Warwickshire, is a beautifully restored Tudor Grade II listed property. Purchased in the late 1990s in a state of disrepair, the house has been meticulously stripped back to its original components and sympathetically reconstructed using traditional materials and craftsmanship. With guidance from Stratford council and the skilled team at D5 Architects, the house now combines historic elements with contemporary design, offering a unique blend of old and new.

The ground floor welcomes you with a grand front entrance opening onto a spacious dining hallway, instantly revealing the central feature of the house, an elegant and contemporary staircase linking each of the three floors in a bespoke, sculptural stainless steel and oak structure, sitting perfectly amidst the rustic beams and reclaimed flagstones. With a view straight through to the ornate rear window this charming space is perfect for entertaining.

A large, bright kitchen, designed by Smallbone is at the front of the house and connects, via a small side entranceway, to the large lounge at the rear. This spacious and heavily beamed room oozes character with a substantial stone fireplace and log burner creating warmth and coziness and adding to the grandeur. In the corner, a cleverly concealed lift up hatch gives access to an original brick vaulted cellar below.

The first floor landing, with its reading nook and ‘1578’ date stone, is light and spacious and also incorporates a home office area. Two impressively sized bedrooms lead off, both with dual aspect windows, solid oak floors, original stone fireplaces and en-suite bathrooms with the principal bedroom also benefitting from a walk through dressing area. At almost 500 sq ft each and a wealth of beams and old panelling, these rooms epitomise the status that this historic house once represented.

The final stair flight to the top floor reveals a huge glass roof light which floods the landing in daylight and illuminates the reading nook below. Either side in the eaves of the house are two further sizeable bedrooms, both openly displaying how the interior structure of this classic Tudor building adds to its historic charm. A shared bathroom with steam shower is conveniently situated between the two bedrooms and a further large cupboard provides ample additional storage space.

Outside

To the front of the Manor House is a formal garden comprising of yew trees, lavender beds and a rill, pond and fountain all contributing to the elegant entrance. To the rear is a less formal cottage garden needing less maintenance yet bursting with colour every year, also a large lawn area providing ample space for entertaining having hosted many events in marquees over the years.

The garage is a contemporary wood and glass brick structure that compliments the historical aesthetic of the house providing secure parking for three vehicles plus two additional stores, a gardeners W.C as well as a further store for a sit on mower and garden tools.

Sellers Statement About The Property

I purchased The Manor House in 1998 and at that time the house was connected to a series of out buildings and extensions with some commercial storage too. It seemed an ideal site for our new commercial design office.

Importantly in this location, the planners required reassurance that the floor level of the proposed offices would exceed a 1 in 150 year flood event and having satisfied this and other stipulations we began an extensive building & renovation program lasting nearly 3 years and resulting in the creation of a unique and stunning office for my business adjacent to a beautifully restored domestic dwelling for me and my family.

It’s fair to say that quality and innovation were the only drivers and that the cost was at the bottom of our list of considerations. Nearly 25 years on both buildings are in fantastic condition with only the exterior hardstandings showing any signs of age.

Conveniently we are only 5 miles from the M40 or M42 motorways and commuting around the country is easy with a mainline station to London, Birmingham or the north around 10 minutes away.

These beautiful buildings, that have housed me and my business for 25 years, have given me immense pleasure and pride. However as I retire it’s time to hand them over to someone else to re-purpose them in order to fulfil their own dreams and potential and start a new chapter in the property’s history.

Location

Nestled in the peaceful Preston Bagot countryside, The Manor House provides a serene and picturesque setting.

Henley-in-Arden is just 5 minutes from Junction 16 of the M40 and 10 minutes from Junction 4 of the M42.
