Wasperton House is a distinguished Grade II listed property, with origins believed to date back to the 17th century. Additions were made in the 18th and early 19th centuries, with the second floor added in 1840. Built of coloured brick with elegant stone quoins to the ground and first floors, the house is topped with a traditional low-pitched slate roof.

Over the centuries, Wasperton House has been home to several notable residents, including Captain William Parker, Admiral of the Fleet from 1815 to 1820, adding to its rich historical significance. Under its current ownership, Wasperton House has been completely transformed, combining modern comfort with the charm of its period features and exceptional room proportions.

The ground floor showcases beautiful stone floors and large sash windows in every room, flooding the interior with natural light. Original details have been meticulously preserved, including a wood-panelled sitting room and study, striking marble fireplaces, and fine parquet flooring. Upstairs, the grand proportions continue with an exceptional principal bedroom suite, complete with a dressing room, en suite bathroom, and doors opening onto a private terrace. There are a further seven bedrooms, each with its own en suite, two of which, located on the top floor also feature their own dressing areas.

OUTBUILDINGS
Wasperton House is complemented by an extensive range of outbuildings, including a charming stable yard currently used for storage, with an office space above. The yard could easily be reinstated for equestrian use, while the office offers potential for conversion into staff accommodation or, subject to the necessary planning permissions, a separate dwelling. Opposite the main house is a triple garage with a studio above, providing further versatile space. On the left-hand side of the driveway is an impressive indoor arena (27m x 57m), which, while ideal for equestrian use, could also be adapted for a variety of purposes such as classic car storage or an indoor sports hall, depending on the buyer's requirements.

GARDEN & GROUNDS
Predominantly laid to lawn, the gardens are complemented by a variety of mature trees and hedging, providing excellent privacy. The grounds also feature a swimming pool and hot tub, both set within a walled enclosure, alongside an impressive driveway that enhances the property's grand approach.

Wasperton House is set in the heart of Wasperton, a small and peaceful Warwickshire village centred around an attractive early parish church and a quiet no-through road. The surrounding countryside is criss-crossed with bridleways and footpaths, offering superb riding and walking, with the Cotswolds just a short drive to the south along the historic Roman Fosse Way.

The area is well known for country pursuits, fishing and canoeing on the River Avon, polo at Southam, Rugby, Kirtlington and Cirencester Park, and racing at Cheltenham, Stratford and Warwick. There are several golf courses within easy reach, including Stratford-upon-Avon and Warwick, as well as leisure centres, cinemas, and the world-renowned Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Local amenities can be found in the nearby village of Barford (1.5 miles), which has a village store for everyday needs. Stratford-upon-Avon and Royal Leamington Spa both offer excellent shopping, dining, and cultural attractions.
