Modern award-winner boasts amazing outdoor entertaining

THIS spectacular, contemporary property in a countryside setting won Stratford District Council’s Celebration of Excellence Design Award in 2007.

From the front door, an ante-hall with glass bricks and double height ceiling gives you taste of what’s to come in the light and spacious, sevenbedroomed Harrow House.

A long hall draws you through to the rear of the home, past an office and snug and into the modern kitchen, with central island, electric Aga and large sliding glass doors onto a patio area.

The patio is the perfect space for outdoor entertaining with kitchen, pizza oven, canopied awning and lots of space to relax, eat and entertain, including a 10-seater hot tub included in the sale.

From the kitchen, a step down takes you to the impressive lounge/sitting room, with open views to the green valley below. It has opulent furnishings and accessories, including a suspended model of a wartime fighter plane.

The ground floor also houses a generous utility, guest cloakroom, boot room and boiler room.

In the basement there is a large gym which doubles as a cinema room, with fixed screen, overhead projector and sound system. There is also a sauna, storage room and two guest bedrooms with en-suites and access to the grounds.

Upstairs, the large landing leads to five further bedrooms. The spacious principal bedroom boasts a walk-in wardrobe, en-suite bathroom and balcony with spiral staircase down to the outside entertaining area.

All the remaining bedrooms have the advantage of individual balconies and built-in wardrobes. Three even have their own mezzanine floors, where the children can chill on a beanbag, play games, watch TV or do their homework.

According to Zoopla, these four bedrooms share the use of two shower rooms. A large linen cupboard is also located on this floor.

The property sits within 16.67 acres including sun decks, numerous seating areas, lovely lawns and stabling for four horses. There is plenty of parking and garaging to the front.

Harrow House sits on the edge of Langley village, eight miles from Stratford-upon-Avon and two from Claverdon. The market town of Henley in Arden, with its independent shops and restaurants and famous ice cream shop, is four-and-ahalf miles away.
