Hillborough Manor House is a distinguished Grade II* listed country estate, strategically located between the quaint villages of Bidford-on-Avon and Welford-on-Avon in Warwickshire. This expansive manor encompasses approximately 8,260 sq ft of living space and extends across over 13 acres of beautifully maintained grounds, offering potential for diverse uses including agricultural or equestrian development given its paddocks that gently descend to the River Avon.
Dating back to around 1600, the property marries rich historical significance with architectural beauty, featuring an elegant 18th-century addition. Built from dressed blue lias stone and complemented by timber framing and painted brick elements, Hillborough’s period features — such as mullion windows, exposed beams, and flagstone floors — are ripe for restoration or enhancement.
The estate includes not only the main manor house but also traditional stables and a historic dovecote. The grandeur of the Great Hall with its open fireplace and sweeping staircase can be reimagined for modern use while retaining its historical charm. The dining hall is ideal for reinvigoration as an entertaining space, while the cellar offers substantial storage with conversion potential (subject to necessary permissions).
The rustic kitchen, complete with an Aga, could benefit from contemporary updates while preserving its character. Furthermore, the spacious bedrooms are well-proportioned and maintain their historic allure but could be modernized to suit personal tastes.
The extensive grounds include landscaped formal gardens that can be further developed or enhanced alongside potential landscaping projects along the riverbanks. With a picturesque driveway and views across rolling South Warwickshire countryside, this property not only presents a remarkable residence but also an investment opportunity to create a bespoke country retreat in a highly desirable location.
