A fully renovated Grade II Listed detached 5 bedroom house with a spacious ancillary 3 bedroom stable conversion in the popular residential area of Hillmorton.The White House is a significant detached period house that has been sympathetically modernised over the last decade. With origins from the early Georgian reign, there were also additions to the property through Victorian and pre war periods. The current owner worked closely with the preservation and listed building officers to retain the character and integrity of this substantial house whilst gently introducing some modern 'creature comforts', including data cabling throughout. The main house has 3 large reception rooms with a central kitchen and a smart orangery. There are 5 double bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Attached to the rear is a two-storey Victorian stable conversion which has been fully converted to now provide a spacious 3 bedroom dwelling, to be used as ancillary accommodation to the main house. This versatile addition could be ideal for family, friends or provide office space. Outside there is a private mainly walled garden, an open double garage, outbuildings and ample off road parking. This elegant property, which has been beautifully restored and thus transformed into a very stylish and comfortable family home, occupies a wonderful location on the fringes of the historic market town of Rugby. "When I first came across The White House back in 2005 it was on the English Heritage Endangered Buildings list," says Louise, "and was in a terrible state of disrepair. It was boarded up, so you couldn't see inside, but there was just something about it." "The main house dates back to around 1810, and before I purchased it there had only been three previous owners, so there hadn't been any major renovations and therefore most of the lovely original features were still intact. I actually have a photograph, which was probably taken in the 1920s, that shows the grand interior of the house, and you can see features such as the incredible stone floors and deep skirting boards, which have survived to this day." "It was a huge renovation project," continues Louise, "so I enlisted the help of a team of conservation builders who carried out the majority of the work. In everything that they have done they have been wonderfully sympathetic to the style and history of the building." The result is a house that oozes character and charm, and yet one that incorporates all the modern conveniences so necessary for modern life."I have changed the layout only slightly," says Louise, "and this was because I wanted to open up the kitchen, which was tiny, into a much larger, family space with bi-fold doors onto the garden. The other main living areas already had wonderfully grand proportions, so didn't need to be changed, and although this is indeed a very large house it has turned out to be incredibly functional and very easy to live in. I also had the stable block converted into a lovely three-bedroom annex, which we use when family or friends come to stay, and even for holiday lets."This beautiful home also benefits from a spacious garden, which has been beautifully landscaped. "The garden was a real labour of love," continues Louise. "When we arrived it was overrun with brambles so it was a case of starting from scratch. I wanted to make sure that the children would have an area where they could really have some fun, so the space has been divided into two quite separate areas; one for play and one for relaxation. It's now a really attractive and very safe garden, which also attracts lots of wildlife.""I've lived in Edinburgh, Bath and London, but this location has definitely been my favourite. Everything is practically on the doorstep, from shops and amenities to the beautiful countryside that surrounds us, so we have been able to enjoy the very best of both worlds. The transport links are also excellent and the selection of schools is se
