" A detached 3 bedroom country house situated in just under 12 acres of rolling Warwickshire countryside with a large American barn providing ideal equestrian usage.

VENDORS COMMENTS In a location rich in history as it is in verdant landscapes, Coombe Fields House is a wonderful family home that has 12 acres of land attached. It is an ideal spot for the keeping and training of horses, indeed the bridleways beyond the boundaries make for the perfect day out exercising horses. We have 7 horses here at the moment, explains Neil, and to maximise the potential for stabling we built an American barn - it's a wooden barn built on a concrete base with a walk-way through the middle, stables to either side. It allows you to accommodate the horses and be under cover whilst getting on with all the usual chores. I often work from my office within the barn, so looking over the fields gives you a break from the workload. I think our farrier is much happier now that he can shoe the horses and not have to put up with inclement weather! It's always been a particular pleasure for me to be able to look out over all the land and watch the horses out in the paddocks, adds Helen. To have all this space, this sense of freedom is very special. The children just love it, in fact all our visitors fall in love with what we have here. We've made some renovations to the house bringing it more up-to-date by opening up the space in the kitchen. It's a great size room, more practical and modern and, as we all tend to gather here, it's got such a warm and friendly atmosphere - it's my favourite room in the house. . We share some of our own history too with the land around here as it was once owned by the Cistercian monks who built and maintained Coombe Abbey so long ago. As with any historical site it has undergone many changes, one particular improvement was to have the park designed by Capability Brown. It's a garden full of balance and order, as much of interest as any great castle or museum. With all this space to enjoy there's plenty of potential for further development, continues Neil. There's plenty of space for a riding arena and the outbuildings could be transformed into further work space or for accommodation. Even though we're surrounded by green fields and lovely scenery we're only a short drive to the village, motorway and railway links. Coombe Fields House has been the perfect place for us, our growing family and of course, the horses. We don't feel at all cut off from the rest of the world but then again, why would anyone want to stray too far from here?
