Located at the top of Whitley Hill, with far-reaching views across stunning countryside and set behind mature, beautifully manicured hedging, The Thatch is an enchanting, part-thatched, part-tiled, Grade II listed cottage offering charm, privacy, and delightful accommodation.
Set back from the road, the home enjoys a notably broad frontage and is approached via a wide five-bar gate that opens onto an extensive block-paved driveway, easily accommodating around eight vehicles. Discreetly screened to one side of the drive is the conveniently located septic tank and a useful bin storage area.
Flanked by a smart dwarf brick wall, two sets of stone steps lead down to the wide gravel pathway that encircles the property. Following the path around to the rear of the cottage, a wrought iron gate provides access to the gardens, with superb screening from tall beech hedging where the oil tank is also discreetly positioned. Outdoor lighting softly illuminates the enchanting exterior.
The approach to the front door, beneath a quintessential thatched storm porch, sets the tone for what lies within. This is the very definition of a �chocolate box� cottage � steeped in history and brimming with character. Dating back to the 1600s, the original thatched portion of the home was freshly re-thatched just over a year ago, and parts of the property have recently been re-rendered, ensuring all presented in immaculate condition.
The Main House � Interiors
Kitchen
Upon entry, the kitchen is an immediate delight, with a beautiful arched crittall-style window providing views across the pretty frontage and offering a glimpse of the character found throughout the home. Perfectly balancing traditional charm with modern comforts, it features high, pitched ceilings and Velux windows that flood the space with natural light.
A deep blue AGA is inset into an original chimney breast, while black granite worktops contrast beautifully with cream cabinetry and a central island, complete with a breakfast bar and Neff ceramic hob. Additional features include an integrated Samsung dishwasher, Samsung combination oven/microwave /air fryer, Belfast sink, space for a large fridge freezer, and solid wood French doors opening onto the rear terrace. The kitchen is finished with stripped pine flooring and leads directly into a practical laundry room with high ceilings and space for a washer/dryer and additional storage.
Living Room
Stepping through to the oldest part of the home, the living room boasts original flagstone flooring, a magnificent inglenook fireplace with wood-burning stove, and an exposed brick chimney breast topped with a rustic oak beam.
Windows on all four sides allow an abundance of natural light, while exposed beams, deep stone window reveals, and smart radiator covers enhance the period charm. A beautiful porthole window at the far end overlooks the garden, making this space ideal for both relaxed family living and more formal dining.
Principal Suite
The generous ground-floor principal bedroom is dual aspect and bathed in natural light. It features an excellent range of bespoke, floor-to-ceiling fitted wardrobes, along with coordinating bedside cabinets and a sideboard.
The bedroom leads through to a dressing room with large double sliding wardrobes, and beyond this is the contemporary en suite, fitted with a corner shower, pedestal basin, WC, chrome towel rail, and full-height white tiling.
Family Bathroom
The family bathroom is equally stylish, featuring black and white marble-effect tiles and a luxurious sunken Touchtronic spa bath. Additional fittings include a low-level WC, pedestal hand basin, inset mirror, airing cupboard for linens, and two obscure-glass windows overlooking the rear garden.
Bedroom 2 / Study
A versatile space currently used as a home office, this room enjoys lovely garden views and would also serve well as a single bedroom. It is tastefully finished with white walls, pine skirting, and ceiling spotlights.
First Floor Bedroom Suite
Accessed via a space-saver staircase, the upper bedroom suite is a fabulous space set into the eaves, with dormer and Velux windows offering panoramic views of the Warwickshire countryside and the property's frontage. Original stripped wood flooring, ample storage, and a charming en suite with corner bath, Imperial basin, low-level WC, and Velux window complete this first-floor suite.
The Annex
A significant asset to the property, the detached annexe � converted from the original garage � offers fully independent living or workspace. Entered through its own front door, the annexe comprises:
� Entrance Hall with picture window
� Modern Shower Room with Triton electric shower, WC, and wall-mounted basin
� Large Office/Reception Room with garden views and ample space for work or hobbies
� Upper Living/Bedroom Space, accessed by pine steps, featuring Velux and dormer windows, space for seating and sleeping, and stylish neutral d�cor � all immaculately presented.
The annexe is heated by electric heaters and offers direct access to the remaining garage area, which, though partially converted, still provides a generous double garage with two electronic up-and-over doors and extensive storage/workshop space.
Gardens and Grounds
The property benefits from a second five-bar gated entrance at the end of the rear garden, opening onto a large gravelled driveway in front of the double garage and annexe. Currently used for additional planting and raised beds, this sun-soaked area also features a high-quality aluminium and glass greenhouse, mounted on a concrete base (greenhouse subject to negotiation).
Two large lawned areas are separated by pathways, with neat box hedging on one side framing two mature rose beds. A beautiful wisteria climbs the rear of the property, adding to its charm and character.
A fabulous raised terrace provides the perfect spot for al fresco dining and entertaining, while a wide gravel path connects the main house and annexe. This transitions into elegant Indian sandstone paving leading to the kitchen�s French doors.
This enclosed section also includes a wooden gate leading back around to the front of the property, bordered by an abundance of beautiful planting � including lavender, ceanothus, clematis and fig. Completing the idyllic aesthetic is a charming ornamental wishing well.
The entire outdoor space is thoughtfully landscaped and softly illuminated, creating a peaceful and private retreat.
In Summary:
The Thatch is a rare gem � a lovingly maintained period home that perfectly balances timeless character with everyday practicality. Set on an expansive plot with a flexible annexe and beautifully landscaped gardens, it offers something truly special for families, remote professionals, or those seeking a multi-generational living solution.
