Hatton Rock, Stratford-Upon-Avon, CV37

Hatton Rock Farm House is a traditional Georgian building built in 1827 with a side facing wing added later in the 1800s with each always used as separate dwellings. The Farm House was given even more grandeur by the addition of two ground floor bay windows to the rear with a balcony above. The main house was sold to the present owners in 2011.

The accommodation comprises in brief:- Boarded and glazed front door with fanlight over opening into the wide reception hall from which you immediately get the impression of scale as you look up to the tall ceilings and through to the rear door which is as grand as the front door.

The flagged floors run through from the hall into the kitchen/breakfast room, with a large central island unit, with an extensive range of timber cupboards and drawers with granite work surfaces, an inglenook with inset Heritage range cooker which also serves as a central heating boiler. From the kitchen you have a bay window looking out over the farmland and the setting sun to the front.

On the opposite side of the hall to the kitchen is a sitting room with a sash window to the front, brick inglenook fireplace with inset multi fuel stove which has a bressummer beam over it. The stone floor and more exposed timbers also add character.

In the centre of the property is a cloakroom, a utility room and WC. At the rear of the house is a generous sized study with bay window and French windows giving direct access to the rear terrace and garden beyond. This bay is repeated within the drawing room, a lovely room with central fireplace having a marble chimneypiece and coved ceiling. These rear facing rooms both benefit from a southerly aspect with an outlook over the gardens and paddock beyond.

From the hall, a staircase with timber balustrade rises to the first floor opening out onto the wide landing which stretches the full depth of the property, currently used as a library and study area.

A central door at the rear opens out to the balcony, where the views looking back over the River Avon and countryside towards Stratford-upon-Avon are very special.

To the front of the property is a large principal bedroom suite, this room has lovely views over the countryside and benefits from an ensuite and dressing room. The first floor continues with three further bedrooms which are served by a central bathroom and separate shower room.

Outside

From the lane, a drive bends round behind the old farmyard, then opens up to reveal the property. A gravel sweep sits within mature trees at front of the house. Flanked by lawns the central path then leads to the front door. The gardens then wrap around the side of the property, again with a number of mature trees, the lawns opening up directly behind the house with a flagged terrace and loggia adjacent to the house. Two large Wellingtonia trees frame the view from the house to the paddock at the rear fenced mainly with traditional estate fencing. Through the paddock the current owners enjoy access down to a footpath and the banks of the river Avon.
