Agent's Note
The property is currently (partly) used for commercial purposes therefore we have not been able to take our usual suite of photos.

The History
The property is a replica of the Menagerie that existed at the Palace of Versailles, and was designed by Henry Holland. The grounds were laid out by 'Capability' Brown and offers the perfect blend of classic elegance and modern convenience, ideal for families seeking a spacious residence or investors looking for a lucrative rental opportunity.

Coombe Fields
Coombe Fields is steeped in history, known for its charming landscapes and close-knit community. The area was once a thriving agricultural hub, with its rich fields and tranquil waters attracting settlers for centuries. Today, Coombe Fields maintains its historic allure, offering a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life, while still being conveniently located near modern amenities such as Marks & Spencers, and transport links which includes Coventry over ground which isn't far away. Coombe Abbey park, cafe, shops, hotel and 'Go Ape' are all within walking distance.

The Location
"The Menagerie" is situated in Coombe Abbey Country Park, in Rugby District, Warwickshire, just over the boundary with Coventry (see Appendix). It is in the non-public area at the western end of the Park, surrounded by the lake, fields, trees, wildlife, etc.
However, it is only a mile from a wide selection of supermarkets and other shops. It is approximately 5 miles to the centre of Coventry and 10 miles to Rugby. Both towns have railway stations providing a good service to London and elsewhere, including Birmingham International Airport. There is excellent access to nearby motorways (M45, M1, M40, M6, M69)
Access is via a drive or track which serves Coombe Warren, the Menagerie, another neighbouring property, a fisherman’s car park and a sheep farmer’s field.
