Description
***Strictly cash buyers only owing to the property's state of disrepair***.
Occupying a generous plot, the White House is a five bedroom detached, three storey property requiring structural repair and major renovations. The property is currently derelict and is not in a habitable condition. Offered to the market with no onward chain and to cash buyers only.
Location - The property is situated by the beautiful Hillmorton Locks on the Oxford canal and backs onto open fields, providing beautiful countryside views. The locks are located approximately two miles south-east of Rugby in a quiet and secluded area of Hillmorton, within walking distance to the canal. Hillmorton Locks is a conservation area which has retained its distinctive character, with many original canal buildings and large amount of pastureland providing a delightful countryside setting. A narrow tunnel links the locks to Brindley Road and the housing estates of Hillmorton. Hillmorton itself has many local amenities including two supermarkets, a variety of take-aways, beauticians, hairdressers, public houses and independent retailers. Primary schooling is available at Hillmorton Primary School, Abbotts Farm and Paddox Primary School, with secondary schooling at Ashlawn, all of which are within close proximity. Further schooling is available in Rugby, including Rugby High School, Lawrence Sheriff and the world famous Rugby School. Rugby has a variety of shopping experiences with out-of-town shopping, a selection of High Street stores and an independent shopping area offering a range of individual outlets. Rugby town also benefits from a large selection of bars, restaurants, and coffee shops, as well as leisure facilities and public parks. Rugby Station offers a frequent rail service with trains to London Euston taking just under 50 minutes.
Accommodattion - The property opens into the entrance hall which has stairs rising to the first floor and doors leading to the ground floor accommodation. The ground floor has three reception rooms, kitchen and a storeroom/pantry. The first floor landing has stairs rising to the second floor and doors leading to three sizeable bedrooms and the family bathroom. On the second floor are two further generous bedrooms and the family bathroom.
Development Constraints - The site lies wholly within the Hillmorton Locks Conservation Area and the White House has been identified as an important "unlisted" building. Based on feedback from Rugby Borough Council and Historic England, The White House must be retained and sympathetically renovated. It is worth noting that almost all planning applications in Hillmorton Locks have been determined at Planning Committee following a call-in by Members.
