The Water Tower at Long Meadow Farm, sits on the edge of an orchard and has spectacular views across the Warwickshire countryside. It has been converted into comfortable accommodation sleeping 4 in two bedrooms with ensuite bathrooms. Every attempt has been made to preserve the original components of the water tower .
The construction company responsible for the conversion won a Federation of Master Builders regional award for the work. Described in the Daily Telegraph of 29 June 2019.

The space
The farm is surrounded by countryside with horses in nearby fields and ducks roam the grounds. There are beehives about 100 metres away on the other side of the orchard from the tower.
The living area is in the tank on the top floor, with an open plan kitchen diner lounge, containing many features from the original building. A working pressure gauge measures water pressure at the top of the tower.
There is a cooker, electric induction hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, toaster, dishwasher and Nespresso coffee machine. Coffee, tea, sugar, milk sachets as well as biscuits are provided. There is a Smart TV with Amazon Prime and Netflix (guests have to supply their own subscription details) and DVD player. USB sockets and superfast broadband are available in all rooms.

Peter and Janet are a retired couple who have lived in Long Meadow Farm for over 30 years. Over that time they have done a lot of work to the property with the final part being the conversion of the water tower. They have planted a lot of the trees and created the mature gardens that the tower is set in today.
