Manor Lane, Kineton, Warwick, Warwickshire, CV35

Manor Court is a fine village house thought to have dated originally from the early 1700's and substantially remodelled and extended in the 1960's and further updated by the present owners. Finished in painted render under pitched tile roof. Manor Court enjoys the best of both worlds, being within easy reach of the village centre and school bus routes, yet with superb rural views towards Edgehill from its own generous gardens.

Internally the property has elegant proportions, with good ceiling heights throughout. Features include panelled doors with brass furniture, cast iron radiators, open fireplaces, bow windows to the dining room/study and drawing room, which has a marble fireplace surround and a fine central reception hall with a flagstone floor with a generous first-floor landing above, connected by a gently sweeping staircase.

The kitchen/breakfast room has a Nobel oil fired Range and a range of handmade, bespoke kitchen units (designed and fitted by Steve Booker appliances, sink, cooker and hob.

The sitting room and gym, with further hall with door to the village, and a door from the gym to the garden.

Off the main landing is a walk-in airing cupboard, bedrooms one, two and three, and the family bathroom. From bedroom three, there is access to bedroom four, which is also served by the secondary staircase, as is bedroom five and the further shower room.

Manor Court has the flexibility to create a separate self-contained annexe since the property has separate access to the village street and a secondary staircase.

The property has delightful gardens, including a tennis lawn and spinney, from which to enjoy the view. Manor Court is approached from the village road and set back behind a tall red brick semi-circular wall with substantial wrought iron gates leading to a large parking and turning area in front of the double garage. The gardens surround the house on three sides and are traditionally laid out with terraces, with extensive lawns and mature trees offset by shrub borders and flower beds. At the bottom of the garden is a tennis lawn beyond which paths lead down through a spinney of fine trees to the river Dene
