The immense potential of the property as a whole was a big factor when the current owners first saw what has become their home for the last 16 years.
They have more than realised that potential and created a really outstanding property, but now Paul and Kellie are ready to move on, leaving the stunning property for someone else to enjoy the spacious accommodation and wonderful surroundings.
Situated on the fringe of the thriving market town of Bedworth, Moat Farm is a stunning property that not only features a beautiful farmhouse, but also incorporates three spacious barn conversions.
It has a rural feel, yet boasts a convenient location which makes it easy for major cities and links, such as Birmingham and the international airport and train station.
“The main farmhouse was in quite a sorry state when we purchased it and so we’ve greatly extended it, created a third floor in the roof space and generally renovated throughout,” said Paul.
“It’s now considerably bigger and looking really beautiful, but we’ve been careful to maintain all of the lovely period features, so it retains a great deal of character.
“In a quite separate area to the main house we have three barn conversions. They were boarding kennels when we came here, but we’ve beautifully converted them into three unique self-contained homes. They are currently privately rented, so they generate a really good income.
“The barn conversions benefit from a lovely shared courtyard, but the main house has around half-an-acre of very private grounds. We’ve created a patio seating area around the house itself, as well as a separate decked area, and the rest of the space is mainly laid to lawn.
‘‘When we’re out there it is almost as if we’re in the middle of nowhere, it’s so picturesque. I love to come home, shut the gate and enjoy the peace and the wonderful feeling of seclusion.”
Paul and Kellie’s favourite room has a distinctively convivial flavour about it, as Paul explained.
“Since renovating the house we’ve created a huge, bespoke kitchen which is a really impressive room,” he said.
“It’s a very sociable space that flows directly into the dining room, so it’s ideal for entertaining.”
A most notable aspect is that “our immediate surroundings are peaceful and very private. But in 10 minutes I can be in Coventry city centre and if I need to travel further afield, within five minutes I can be on the M6. In terms of location it couldn’t get much better.
“At the top of the garden we have what I call the man cave, which is a large building in which we’ve installed a bar area and seating, and it is also where we have the pool table. We tend to use it for parties – it keeps the mess out of the house – and opens onto a patio terrace so guests can spill out into the garden when the weather is warm.”
So, what will Paul and Kellie miss most when they leave?
“There’s so much that we will miss about Moat Farm,” said Paul. “The children have grown up here, so we’ll take with us some great memories. It has just been a wonderful home for the past 16 years.”
The five-to-six bedroom detached property includes three en suites and two reception rooms, all to a very high specification and views over open fields. The three barn conversions currently realise an annual rental income of £36,000 and the commercial yard is fitted with electricity, has its own entrance and a full operator’s licence.
The asking price for this magnificent property is £1,950,000 and there is so much more to tell, as the selling agent Fine & Country will testify for a phone call on 02476 500015.
