Mockley Wood Farm may sound traditional – and its setting is gloriously rural – but the house you find on arrival is luxurious and contemporary, providing around 14,000 sq ft of sophisticated accommodation in addition to the fabulous grounds and gardens.
The property sits behind wrought iron electric gates and is impressive from the moment you enter, with multiple spacious reception rooms that provide all the space you need for entertaining guests or life with a busy family.
The main open-plan living space is as unique as it is stylish, wrapped around an exposed granite stairwell in the center of the property and complete with four sets of French doors opening onto the terrace. There is even a bespoke curved bar that finishes the spectacular entertaining space.
There are further living rooms that provide a little more privacy and informality, alongside additional areas for dining indoors, unless you can be tempted onto one of the many terraces.
The kitchen is exquisite in its simple elegance – indeed there are two kitchens to ensure your dinner party goes without a hitch, the second of which has an Aga. Leading off the main kitchen is a conservatory, where lake views abound.
Climb up the striking staircase to find bedrooms that are as stylish as the living spaces and total six, with four bathrooms to cater for all dwellers (not counting the en-suites).
The master suite has it’s own en-suite bathrooms, of course, with the bed area boasting a striking Versace design and the space encompassing a sitting area and a fully-fitted dressing room.
The five further bedrooms are perhaps not as eye-popping but nonetheless stylish and comfortable, with ample space for all those who inhabit them.
Entertainment and leisure facilities are as sleek as everything else and will leave owners with few reasons to want to leave the property. The swimming pool is divine, complete with a pine panel ceiling, and a sauna is on hand for a sweating session after or before the dip.
Sports enthusiasts will enjoy the squash court, while those who prefer to spend their leisure time with a bit less sweat and a bit more swagger will love the games area, complete with snooker table and mahogany bar that channels private-club vibes galore.
There is an integral heated four-car garage with electric doors to the front, while the rear of the property is where the land opens up majestically. Beyond the terrace is the lake, which provides a glorious backdrop to the property and places for quiet contemplation or lovely walks.
The land also contains a tennis court, workshops and a collection of farm buildings that are ideally suited for keeping horses, alongside a paddock area.
The location is as utopian as Mockley Wood Farm itself. The property is on the edge of the village of Ullenhall and very close the attractive market town of Henley-in-Arden where shops, pubs, restaurants, surgeries, churches and schools are located. Travel 11 miles to dive into Shakespeare’s home town of Stratford-upon-Avon, where there are many shops, restaurants, the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Company’s theatre and weekend markets and fairs.
The property has easy access to the M40, M42 and M5, and the nearest international airport is Birmingham Airport (15 miles away). Warwick Parkway Station is 12 miles away and provides train connections to London.
