Edstone Hall occupies a truly stunning location set amidst some 22 acres of formal gardens and pasture land which lead down to Edstone Lake, thus providing an quite idyllic setting. Located on the outskirts of the small village of Wootton Wawen, Edstone Hall is well placed for access to Stratford-upon-Avon 4.5 miles, Henley-in-Arden 4.5 miles, Leamington Spa 10.5 miles, Solihull 15.5 miles and Birmingham International Airport and the NEC some 18.5 miles. Furthermore, the M.40 and M.42 motorways are within easy access, providing fast links to London to the South and Birmingham to the North, some 22 miles away. Train services are available from Warwick Parkway, Henley-in-Arden and Stratford-upon-Avon. There are varied sporting activities locally, including Racing from both Warwick and Stratford, golf courses at Henley-in-Arden and Stratford plus boating on the River Avon and Stratford Canal.

Edstone Hall has an interesting history, built in 1939 on the site of the original Georgian Manor House, which was demolished. The extensive Georgian cellars still remain, many of which have vaulted ceilings with the original stone shelves and would convert into an amazing suite of basement rooms if required. Edstone Hall has been constructed in the vernacular style with stone mullion windows, steeply pitched Cotswold stone roof and tall chimneys with balconies and roof terraces to take advantage of the superb views. Internally, the property retains many of the interesting architectural features, including many fine stone fireplaces and in particular the full height leaded light and stained glass heraldic crested window to the front elevation.The property is currently utilised as a conference and training centre and head office, but previous uses have included a private residence, hotel and nursing home. The property therefore lends itself for a variety of purposes, which could include country house hotel, wedding venue, leisure spa, training headquarters, private country home, educational establishment etc., subject to the requisite planning consents being obtained.

The accommodation, which includes extensive cellarage and attic rooms, currently extends to some 24,265 sq.ft. (Gross internal excluding external stores) and is divided as follows:-Owners Private Apartment 3,396 sq.ft.Offices 10.000 sq.ft.Second Floor Flat 1.731 sq.ft.Attics 3,216 sq.ft.Cellar 5.753 sq.ft.The property also benefits from planning permission for a new 8,263sq.ft. office building, plus an indoor swimming pool complex with changing rooms. A copy of the appropriate planning consents and plans are available for inspection at the Agent's offices during normal working hours.The parkland grounds to Edstone Hall are an absolute delight and take advantage of the south facing views over the adjoining pastureland and Warwickshire countryside. The lawns slope gently down to Edstone Lake and the water garden, which contain an abundance of wildlife. Edstone Hall is surrounded by unspoilt Warwickshire countryside, which contains many bridle paths and rural walks.
