VENDOR INTERVIEW
As you drive through the gates and approach Byfield House, you see an attractive detached building of generous proportions but are totally unprepared for what is behind the front door. The vendor has stripped the interior of the house back to a skeleton and created a stylish modern home that sparkles and gleams with the natural light that pours in through the many large windows. Byfield is a very special property with a huge wow factor that runs throughout the house.

Windows and light are the most striking features and each of the three floors has a balcony that stretches the length of the house, with long runs of floor to ceiling folding doors. There is a wide balcony on each floor and such is the careful attention to detail that the interior flooring marries with the balcony tiles and with the doors open the house and balcony become one. This is a house with an exceptional choice of reception rooms and the lounges are the height of sophistication and elegance with a warm, bright ambience and they also enjoy panoramic views across the countryside. The large lower lounge will easily accommodate just under a hundred guests and is perfect for entertaining and for total relaxation the first floor lounge is a perfect haven and somewhere to relax and unwind. To sit on the balcony and watch the changing skies and listen to the bird song or enjoy an evening glass of wine under a silent starry sky is idyllic.
-
The third floor tier bedrooms are again a delight of space and light and benefit from the uninterrupted view which is a very positive way to start the day. The view into the extensive grounds is wonderfully natural and the house feels at one with its surroundings. From its elevated position you look down on the lawns, well stocked fish ponds that attract many varieties of birds, the coppice and rolling fields. It is an oasis of calm in a hectic world where the only sound is from the bird orchestra.
Fillongley is an active and friendly village and in an excellent location with a varied choice of towns in the area. It is under ten miles to Coventry and Warwick, Birmingham and Stratford upon Avon are within easy reach. There is access to major road routes and Birmingham airport making it perfect for the businessman. Byfield House is a home that offers style, comfort and tranquility and is a unique and breathtaking house.
