Packington Lane, Maxstoke, Warwickshire B46 2QP

As you step through the grand oak front door of Homefield House, you're welcomed into a central atrium filled with light and character. This inviting space perfectly captures the essence of the home, blending the barn’s historic charm with tasteful modern touches. An open oak staircase gently rises to the upper floor, offering both an elegant ascent and practical storage beneath—thoughtfully designed for everyday living.

To one side of the atrium, the living room invites you in with its cosy ambiance, where an ornamental inglenook fireplace has been cleverly adapted to house the TV. The warmth of wool Berber carpet, neutral walls, and exposed beams creates a space that feels both timeless and comfortable. The room flows seamlessly into the dining area, where bi-folding doors along the back wall open up to the garden, making it easy to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living.

The kitchen, the heart of the home, has been transformed into a chef’s dream. Elegant blue cabinetry pairs beautifully with Silestone quartz countertops, while a substantial central island with several connectivity ports serves as both a functional workspace and a gathering spot for family and friends. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with a Neff grill, space for a range cooker and ample storage. High-end touches, like built-in bin drawers, a deep Belfast sink with a Villeroy & Boch mixer tap and integrated Neff dishwasher, add to its appeal. The triple bifolding oak doors not only enhance the flow to the outdoor spaces but also flood the kitchen with natural light, making it a warm and inviting place to cook and connect.

Adjoining the kitchen is a well-appointed pantry with plenty of storage, including space for an American style fridge freezer—perfect for keeping everything organized and within easy reach.

Climbing the oak staircase, you reach the first floor where the breathtaking vaulted atrium awaits. A large feature window on the landing frames stunning views of the Warwickshire countryside, bringing a sense of the outdoors into the heart of the home.

The first floor is home to four beautifully appointed bedrooms, each full of character. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, beginning with a dressing area that leads through an original stained-glass door to a luxurious en suite bathroom. High vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a Velux window add to the serene atmosphere, while a large rain head shower, Duravit fixtures, and a sleek hand basin set into a charcoal grey cabinet complete the spa-like retreat. The master bedroom itself is bathed in natural light from three Velux windows, with a new Berber carpet underfoot that adds a touch of warmth and luxury.

Throughout the home, thoughtful storage solutions blend seamlessly with the design, ensuring both beauty and practicality. The other bedrooms have been equally well-designed, and the family bathroom, featuring a tin bathtub and flush-mounted TV, offers a perfect spot for unwinding at the end of the day.

Outdoors

Stepping outside, the south-facing walled garden of Homefield House feels like a true retreat. It's a peaceful sanctuary, lovingly landscaped with mature roses, honeysuckle, peonies, and hostas. Blue brick terraces, accessible from both the kitchen and dining room, offer the perfect setting for outdoor gatherings, alfresco meals, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of the surroundings.

Across the garden, a second barn stands with equal charm. This structure presents an exciting opportunity for conversion into additional living space or a home office. With its exposed beams, high vaulted ceiling, and charming arched windows, this barn offers endless possibilities. It’s already equipped with full electrics and an alarm system, making it versatile for various uses, including an annex, for which planning consent is already in place.

Homefield House also includes a double garage with new electric doors, premium wool carpets throughout the first floor and lounge, Amtico flooring on the ground floor, and updated internal lighting. Recent enhancements, such as a new oil tank, aluminium gutters, and fitted blackout blinds in the bedrooms, ensure that the home is as comfortable and functional as it is beautiful.
