A beautifully reimagined village bungalow where accessibility, privacy and polished contemporary living come together with remarkable ease.
Set well back from Spring Hill behind double gates and a sweeping drive, Almoran offers over 1,300 sq ft of thoughtfully designed single-storey accommodation, an extraordinary garden setting and the kind of flexibility that is rarely found without compromise.
Almoran is a home that has been shaped not only with taste, but with real thought. Chosen and refurbished by the current owners for its accessibility, village convenience and long, private plot, it has been carefully refined into a bungalow that feels warm, spacious and deeply adaptable. Every part of the layout has a purpose: the working spaces are grounded in practical hard flooring, the quieter rooms feel softer and more relaxed, and the overall flow allows the house to be enjoyed with remarkable ease from one end to the other.
A south-east facing frontage sits behind repainted fencing and double gates, with grey slate, mature side borders, espaliered trees and seasonal planting creating a refined first impression. The driveway is exceptionally generous, comfortably accommodating six or more vehicles, while the sense of privacy is heightened by the property’s long, well-proportioned plot. From here, the home opens into its architectural centrepiece: a large entrance lobby and hall illuminated by skylights, designed to keep the middle of the house bright throughout the day and naturally extending into a semi-private study area.
The lounge/diner is a room the owners return to time and again, whether for evenings by the living-flame fire, family gatherings or entertaining, and it is easy to see why. Dimmable central and wall lighting add warmth and control, while the mix of flooring subtly defines the different ways the room can be used. Beyond, the kitchen has been finished with clear quality and practicality in mind: a Howdens installation with composite granite worktops, touch-close cabinetry, sink with hot tap and ten power points, all creating a space that works as hard as it looks.
The garage wing is another quietly exceptional feature. Built with a warm roof to habitable standard, it has evolved into a superb utility, storage and secondary prep area, complete with sink, worktop, pull-out table and the kind of flexibility that makes everyday life markedly easier. The owners have also invested in the infrastructure of the home, from the owned solar system and battery to the carefully planned heating and lighting arrangements throughout.
The bedroom accommodation is equally considered. The principal suite is bright and restful, with a second window drawing in morning light, while the en suite is on a scale and specification rarely found in homes at this level, including underfloor heating, non-slip tiling and a substantial double-ended bath. Bedroom two is another extremely generous room, already enabled for television and satellite, with a huge wardrobe and lovely rear aspect. The wet room has been executed with a similarly high standard of detail, from the heated non-slip floor and touch-control electric shower to the wide vanity basin, rainfall tap, wall-mounted WC and large demisting mirror beneath a sun tunnel.
Outside, the lifestyle offering becomes even more compelling. The patio areas sit immediately outside the bedrooms and look over an extensive lawn, while the south-west side garden is arranged with raised beds and space to entertain, garden and unwind. The current swim/spa installation is a major feature in its own right and may be available by separate negotiation. The sellers particularly value how the garden comes alive in spring and summer, and it is a setting that lends itself just as naturally to quiet mornings as it does to barbecues and long afternoons outdoors.
From a location point of view, Arley offers the balance many buyers are searching for: a more relaxed, village-led rhythm with everyday amenities still close at hand. Nearby are the Heart of England Co-op at Gun Hill, Gun Hill Post Office, Arley Memorial Hall and St Wilfrid’s church, while North Warwickshire’s settlement assessment also notes community rooms and a GP surgery serving the wider Arley/Old Arley area. For travel further afield, Atherstone station provides direct trains to London Euston in around 1 hour 20 minutes, while wider road links place Coventry, Solihull, Kenilworth and the motorway network within practical reach.
This is a home that will speak particularly strongly to downsizers unwilling to compromise, buyers needing mobility-conscious living, multigenerational households, and anyone who values a calmer way of life without stepping away from connection and community.
Approach Driveway A beautifully composed approach with a south-east facing frontage, double gates, repainted fencing, grey slate and mature planted borders creating an immediate sense of quality and privacy.

A large shed with its own power source adds yet more practicality.
