The Property

Occupying a prominent slightly elevated position in the very heart of sought-after Alveston village, Barley Lodge is a charming detached Grade II Listed period home of considerable character and historic appeal. Positioned close to the village green and historic river crossing, the property forms part of the historic core of old Alveston and is understood to date back to the 17th Century, with later additions and alterations over time.

Listed Grade II in 1972 for its special architectural and historic interest, Barley Lodge is noted for its traditional timber-framed origins with painted brick infill beneath a tiled roof, reflecting the rich vernacular architecture synonymous with this picturesque Warwickshire village setting.

Beautifully maintained over many years, the property offers an exceptional opportunity to acquire a turnkey village home, whilst still providing scope for a purchaser to personalise and enhance to their own tastes and requirements, subject to any necessary consents.

Set back behind an attractive walled fore-garden, the property immediately conveys a sense of charm. External steps descend to a highly useful lower ground floor cellar/storage area, whilst to the side a block paved driveway provides valuable off-road parking. Steps rise to a wonderfully mature and private courtyard garden, thoughtfully arranged with established shrubs and planting, creating an idyllic setting for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Internally, the accommodation is both welcoming and surprisingly spacious. An entrance hallway with side window leads to the staircase rising to the first floor, with useful understairs storage and a cloakroom/WC. The generous dual-aspect lounge/dining room is undoubtedly the heart of the home, featuring a character fireplace together with fitted shelving and display cabinetry, creating a warm and inviting living space.

To the rear, the breakfast kitchen is well appointed with an extensive range of storage, contrasting work surfaces and breakfast bar, whilst a glazed door provides direct access to the courtyard garden.

To the first floor, the landing gives access to two bedrooms and a modern shower room. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious and benefits from fitted wardrobes.

Homes of this nature are rarely available within the centre of Alveston, particularly those combining historic significance, private parking and established gardens in such a central village position. Barley Lodge therefore represents a unique opportunity to acquire an important and beautifully preserved period home within one of Stratford-upon-Avon’s most desirable village locations.

Offered for sale with no upward chain.
