The popular village of Rowington provides excellent facilities for day to day requirements with the large surrounding centres providing first class shopping, public transport, recreational and cultural activities as well as an excellent selection of state, private and public schools for children of all ages. Passenger rail services also operate from the nearby stations of Lapworth, Claverdon, Dorridge, Solihull, Warwick Parkway, Leamington Spa and Henley in Arden. One of the attractions of this particular area of Warwickshire is its central location which affords easy access to all parts of the country.

Farthing Piece comprises a delightfully situated detached character residence, set in established and mature gardens extending to nearly half an acre. The property was originally built in 1969 by Barry Harper to a Warwickshire Farmhouse design and as such incorporates many attractive features which include exposed ceiling beams, inglenook fireplace to the lounge and oak framed windows. In addition the property benefits from oak strip flooring to the reception hall, dining room, study and lounge to create a most pleasing and warm ambience. The accommodation is well proportioned with three reception rooms, breakfast kitchen with Aga, pantry, utility, four bedrooms, well equipped en suite bathroom plus separate shower room.

In addition to the main house, there is the benefit of a two storey cottage built to the rear of the garage and which is completely self contained. This cottage would be suitable for a variety of uses, which could include a useful rental income, relative or home office use and offers a reception lobby, guest cloakroom, fitted kitchen, charming living room, double bedroom with en suite shower plus useful study/bedroom 2.
