The largest of a suite of three Grade two listed, converted early 19th century farm buildings, positioned with views of Coombe Pool and the estate beyond. The properties were converted by the current owners not only to be ‘planet friendly’ and environmentally/financially efficient, but to retain as much of the character and features of the original working buildings as possible.
This unique opportunity is set on the Coombe Abbey estate (now Coombe Abbey Country Park) and accessed via a private road from the Brinklow Rd (B4027). This property boasts a high specification kitchen/family room with space for a large dining table and further seating, with views over the garden which is full of flora and visiting fauna including a wide range of birds such as woodpeckers and even parakeets!
There is a ground floor bedroom with en-suite, a lobby that also has views over the garden, WC, utility room and plant-room. Upstairs there is a stunning living room with original beams and wooden pulley, as well as a wood burning stove. There are two first floor bedrooms, a bathroom and ‘secret’ mezzanine reading/chill out area!
The property is set on a total plot of circa 0.8 of an acre, with four brick-built outbuildings, a stunning greenhouse, a clay oven and organic allotment as well as a duck pond and several seating and entertaining areas.
Close to Binley, Coventry, Rugby and Lutterworth, the property is just minutes away from amenities including retail parks, village pubs, delis, take-aways, motorways and A-roads, as well as offering a range of local schooling for all ages and tastes. The homes are available separately or as one purchase for the whole site.

Tenure
Coombe Warren is currently held by Capability Green (2007) Ltd on a 110 year lease
(110 years remaining) from the freeholder, Coventry City Council. Capability Green
(2007) Ltd, the management company, was set up by the Coombe Warren residents, when they developed the site. Each of the three dwellings has its own lease from Capability Green (2007) Ltd. The courtyard and the rest of the gardens are
retained by the company with use shared by all of us.
The residents are planning to acquire the freehold in which case the three properties would share the freehold via our management company.
It is possible that all three dwellings will be available to purchase together.
