Leycester House Farm is located in the glorious Warwickshire countryside, on a ridge overlooking the valleys of the River Avon and the River Leam, just half a mile outside the pretty and historic village of Harbury.
The Cottage sits next to a Victorian farmhouse and has beautiful southerly views across the hamlets of Chesterton and Kingston and beyond to Lighthorne Heath, home to the Heritage Motor Centre.
Originally built as a groom's cottage, around 1900, The Cottage has recently been renovated to provide cosy and comfortable accommodation for up to four people. It has new carpets and tasteful, good quality curtains and furnishings.
Heating is by electric night storage heaters and an open fire in the sitting room. Hot water is by immersion heater. There is a small (unfenced) garden area with a timber picnic table.
