Barrells Park, Henley Road

Situated on the southern edge of Ullenhall, Barrells Park is a very fine modern timber-framed house, enjoying a wonderfully private position amongst the 4.1 acres of beautiful mature grounds. The oak-framed building was constructed in 2008 in a contemporary interpretation of an Elizabethan country house, striking both inside and out with its soaring timber beams, vaulted ceilings, wrought iron detailing and traditional doors and windows. The house has been designed with the future in mind and is heated by a ground source heat pump which warms the home via underfloor heating throughout. The current owners have recently refitted almost every room, providing a modern elegant and stylish feel throughout, utilising the very best materials to provide a designer level finish. Most notably is the stunning Humphrey Munson Kitchen/breakfast room, the refurbishment continued outside with the leisure and pool house.

Outside
Barrells Park has a wonderfully striking first impression, nestled within park-like grounds studded with a variety of well-established trees, including fine oaks, from when the property was previously part of the Barrells Hall Estate. The landscaped gardens envelop the house in mature greenery, with shrub borders and flowerbeds providing colour and interest. To the rear of the house, a generous south-facing terrace provides a charming position for alfresco entertaining, in a sheltered position leading to the expansive lawns. Separate to the house is an outdoor pool inset within a large terrace, adjoining a pool house which has been extensively refitted to comprise a gym, hair studio, changing and showering facilities, a steam room and a sauna. Also within the grounds is a tennis court and a traditional log cabin used as a retro games room with a wood-burning stove. The house is approached via a sweeping driveway leading to a sizeable parking area and a triple-bay garage with a storage space above that presents a great opportunity for conversion (subject to permissions).

Situation
The popular village of Ullenhall is regarded as an outstanding location in which to reside, set amongst greenbelt countryside, yet well placed for easy access to the M42, M40 and M5, as well as Birmingham International Railway Station, Airport and the NEC. Ullenhall is a village settlement and one of the old clearings made in the Forest of Arden. The village has an active village hall and playgroup. The old and historic market town of Henley-in-Arden is about two miles distant and offers a wide range of shops and restaurants, together with regular bus and train services, secondary and junior and infant schools, pubs and day-to-day services. More extensive amenities can be found in Warwick (11 miles) or Stratford-upon-Avon (nine miles). The latter is a prosperous riverside market town which provides South Warwickshire with a wide range of national and local stores, fine restaurants and inns, a good choice of public and private schools and excellent sporting and recreational amenities.
