Detached house for sale in Southam CV47, 4 Bedroom

Situated in a peaceful countryside setting, this remarkable house has been beautifully converted from an old farm’s cow shed and covers two floors, one of which is partially subterranean. Boasting attractive oak trusses and sections of exposed Hornton stone, the ground floor’s hall leads into an open-plan, beautifully fitted kitchen which, in turn, has space for a dining area. Leading from the
kitchen there is a pretty sitting room with a wood burning stove. All these rooms enjoy bundles of natural light and garden access, provided by large folding/sliding doors along the whole of the rear of the house. The master bedroom with a superbly designed en suite shower room also looks over the terrace. All the ground floor rooms have access to the large south/west facing terrace with views over thehills beyond.
The lower ground floor is built into excavated ground beneath and behind the original farm
building. The layout wraps around a sunken, sun-trap courtyard which allows plenty of light
to flood the floor. As well as hosting a useful kitchenette area, there are three more bedrooms on this floor, each with en suite facilities and one with a small, storage room. Finally, a spacious sitting room which benefits from three conveniently located skylights looks out on to the courtyard.
