The Old Manse, 85 Banbury Road, Ettington
An imposing Georgian-style period residence offering c.2,740 sq ft of characterful accommodation in the heart of the much-sought Warwickshire village of Ettington. Sold with the benefit of vacant possession, this timeless home blends elegant original detail with generous living space throughout.
Ettington offers more than rustic charm—it embraces vibrant local attractions. Just off Banbury Road, you’ll find Caffeine & Machine at “The Hill”: a unique coffee house, pub, and motorsport-inspired hangout housed in the former Dower House. A short drive from the village takes you to several National Trust gems including Charlecote Park, Packwood House, Baddesley Clinton, and Upton House—each offering stately homes, rich Tudor history, and idyllic gardens.
Entering via the elegant entrance hall with sweeping spindle-and-handrail staircase, you are immediately struck by period features – ornate ceiling cornices, handsome fireplaces and panelled doors.
Beyond lies an enormous Conservatory (over 9 m in length), flooded with natural light and overlooking the rear garden, plus a practical Utility Room (2.65 m x 2.98 m) and adjoining Boot Room – perfect for country living. A ground-floor snug/double bedroom offers versatile multi-generational living, while a separate cloakroom/WC completes this level.
Outside, the beautifully landscaped rear garden features ornamental lawn, a cobblestone rose garden (perfect for replanting), mature shrubs and specimen Acer trees. A substantial greenhouse offers year-round growing, and gated vehicular access leads to off-street parking. To the front, a quintessential gravel driveway is screened by tall, established hedging.
