Sellers Story
“Quarry House, is a beautiful, unique, spacious country residence brimming with a wealth of character and charm. It is screened from the road by a wall, including high hedging, which contributes to its idyllic setting, plus it offers spectacular open views over and across the surrounding Warwickshire countryside.
As soon as you drive through the private gated entrance you feel like you have entered a beautiful country park given the stunning countryside views. There is a well stocked orchard with apple, plum, pear, cherry, walnut, fig and mulberry trees, all of which produce an abundance of fruit every year.
The main garden is south facing including the back terrace which is great for BBQ’s and entertaining. The setting is perfect for family parties and events of which we have had many.
All the rooms in the house exude warmth and are welcoming, there are large windows throughout the property so where-ever you turn there is plenty of light, views of the garden or countryside; sunsets are particularly memorable.
Every New Year and Bonfire night we get a complimentary firework show given the properties raised position with views extending to the city of Birmingham and beyond – which is a real treat for us and our children.
