Bridge Street, Fenny Compton, Southam Warwickshire CV47

Bayards is a beautifully presented Grade II Listed country home occupying grounds of circa one acre in the heart of the highly desirable village of Fenny Compton. Rich in character yet thoughtfully updated for modern family life, the property combines exposed stonework, and beams with light-filled living spaces, a superb shaker-style kitchen, five bedrooms, four bathrooms, an established holiday let, and excellent equestrian facilities.

The accommodation extends to approximately 2,827 sq. Ft. Across the main house and annexe, with a total area of approximately 4,109 sq. Ft. When including the garage and outbuildings. Outside, the landscaped gardens, large terrace, garden room, orchard, paddock, and stables create an exceptional lifestyle setting with beautiful countryside views and direct access from the rear paddock towards Burton Dassett Hills Country Park.

Ground Floor

The property is entered through a welcoming entrance hall where exposed stonework and the staircase rising to the first floor immediately introduce the period character of the home.

From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the principal reception spaces, creating a wonderfully sociable layout for both family life and entertaining.

To the left is the sitting room, a beautifully characterful reception room centred around an exposed brick chimney stack and wood burning stove. Bifold doors open directly onto the terrace, allowing the room to connect effortlessly with the gardens during the warmer months while retaining a cosy, inviting atmosphere in winter.

To the right of the hall is the substantial dining/family room, a superbly proportioned everyday living and entertaining space with exposed beams, a traditional log burning stove and extensive glazing that floods the room with natural light. The room offers ample space for both dining and relaxed seating, making it ideal for family gatherings, dinner parties and informal entertaining.

The dining/family room leads through to the stunning kitchen/breakfast room, which has been beautifully designed in a timeless Shaker style. A large central island provides generous preparation space and breakfast bar seating, creating a natural hub for guests to gather while cooking. The kitchen also features a Range-style electric stove with extractor above, a Belfast sink, an integrated American-style fridge freezer, and well-considered storage, delivering the perfect balance of country character and modern practicality.

A useful utility room and shower room support day-to-day family life, while a spacious boot room to the side of the kitchen provides an excellent practical entrance for country living. With generous proportions, fitted storage potential and natural light, this space would also lend itself well to use as a home office, hobby room or additional reception space.

First Floor

The first floor provides five bedrooms, two en-suites and a family bathroom, all presented to a high standard and arranged to offer excellent flexibility for family living, guest accommodation, and the adjoining annexe/holiday let if required.

Within the main house are four double bedrooms with attractive views over the gardens and surrounding countryside. Several of the bedrooms benefit from built-in wardrobes or fitted storage, while the use of Velux windows, exposed timbers, and character detailing creates a warm and individual feel throughout.

The principal bedroom is a particularly spacious double room with fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower room which, along with the family bathroom, is beautifully appointed with contemporary fittings, quality tiling and a walk-in shower, creating a boutique-hotel style finish.

Outside

Bayards sits within grounds of just over an acre, enjoying a superb village setting with gardens, terrace, orchard, paddock, and countryside views. To the rear of the house, a large terrace provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and summer entertaining, with space for a hot tub and established flower borders softening the transition into the landscaped garden.

The gardens have been thoughtfully arranged to create a series of attractive outdoor spaces, with lawns, mature planting, and a small orchard adding colour, privacy and seasonal interest. Beyond the formal garden, the paddock opens up the view towards the surrounding countryside and provides a rare sense of space so close to the heart of the village.

A substantial garden room sits beside the main house and is a real lifestyle feature of the property. With a vaulted ceiling, exposed original beams and two sets of bifold doors, it is a fantastic space for entertaining. Benefitting from power and lighting, it would make a wonderful bar and games room, studio, gym, office, or spectacular entertaining space.

The property also benefits from an integrated garage, an EV charging point, and plenty of off-road parking.

Holiday Let/Annexe

The fifth bedroom and en-suite can be separated from the main house to create a self-contained annexe or holiday let, offering excellent flexibility for multi-generational living, visiting guests, or income potential. Currently used as a holiday let, the space is beautifully presented and enjoys its own stylish kitchen below.

The annexe kitchen is fitted with modern cabinetry, an induction hob, oven, and integrated fridge, with an oak staircase and glass balustrade connecting the two levels. The first-floor annexe bedroom/living room is a generous, characterful space with exposed beams and ample room for both sleeping, sitting, and dining areas, creating a comfortable and private retreat.

The adjoining en-suite bathroom is particularly impressive, finished to a high standard with both a large walk-in shower and a freestanding bath, giving the annexe a luxurious and independent feel. The arrangement works equally well as a private guest suite, independent space for extended family, or a high-quality holiday let.

Equestrian Facilities

The equestrian facilities greatly enhance the country lifestyle on offer. To the rear of the property are two stables and a large paddock, positioned to take full advantage of the open countryside outlook.

From the paddock there is a public footpath providing direct access towards Burton Dassett Hills Country Park, with excellent walking routes and access to the wider network of bridle paths nearby. This creates a rare opportunity to enjoy riding, walking, and outdoor pursuits directly from the property in one of Warwickshire’s most attractive countryside settings.
