'Avondale', Kineton Road, Gaydon CV35

Quote Property Ref: JL0210

'Avondale' is a picture pretty late Georgian Four Double Bedroom Detached Property sitting in a quintessential English Country Garden of luscious greenery, immaculately manicured lawns and bright blooms at every turn.

The property sits proudly on a plot of 0.26 acres in the  classical Georgian style where symmetry, balance, and proportion reigns supreme. Elegant over sized sash bay windows mirror each other to the facade, equally magnificent from the inside where the views over the garden are quite breathtaking and flood the house with light. This house bounds in character and charm, so graciously proportioned with an understated elegance.

The access is via a private drive, with 5 bar gate to the driveway plus a separate side pedestrian gate. A pathway bordered by peonies, viburnum, hibiscus and other mature shrubs and perennials to give colour and interest throughout the year, leads to the front door. We enter into a spacious and bright hallway with open staircase and doors off to the dining and sitting rooms on either side, these rooms are dominated by the glorious garden views through the sash bays, with a working open fireplace in the sitting room. 

To the rear and behind the dining room is a super fitted kitchen, where a serving hatch looks out across the dining room to the gardens beyond, and adjoining morning/ day room with large picture window and a separate external door to the side. 

Back across the hallway is a well-designed utility room with ample space for a modern families needs, that then leads to what is currently an office with double doors out to the gardens. A perfect place to get away and focus, being apart from the main living of the house and peacefully looking over manicured lawns.

Stairs take you down to the cellar and up to the first floor and four excellent bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms sit to one side of the hallway, with an additional point of access from a back stairway in the breakfast room, (imagine the kids loving that !) Across the hallway is the family bathroom and the principle bedroom, a beautiful room with a spacious, fitted dressing room and en-suite. The garden views are just stunning wherever you look through the magnificent Georgian sash windows that flood the house with natural light and complete this picture of elegance.
