A five bedroom semi-detached house set in approx. two acres with excellent equestrian facilities and boarding cattery, in an accessible, central location

The property has provided a wonderful family home whilst also providing an additional income to the current owners for the past thirty years. The house is believed to have been built in 1923 as a workers cottage for Stoneleigh Abbey Estate and as its name implies, it was one of a group of similar smallholdings in the local area.

Whilst eminently suitable for private equestrian use, the current owners have operated a livery yard from the property for many years, with seven stables on assisted DIY livery and they established the five star rated cattery known as the Fur Inn Cattery & Small Animal Hotel in 2004. Further details on the income that these businesses provide is available on request.

The property lies in a very pleasant rural location, about one mile from the vibrant village of Baginton, which has a village shop, Post Office, Chinese takeaway and pub. There are two further popular pubs in nearby Bubbenhall and both primary and secondary schools in Finham and Kenilworth. There is a range of supermarkets and a shopping retail park at Tollbar End. Leamington Spa and Warwick are both nearby and there are excellent links to the M69, M1, M40 and M6 motorways, as well as easy access to Birmingham and East Midlands Airports. Coventry & Leamington Spa railway stations have direct services to London & Birmingham

Local hacking is along country lanes in the Bubbenhall area, with a popular bridleway through Waverley Woods which provides about a 2½ hour hack from the property.
