House For Sale £575,000
An attractive Grade II listed three bedroom thatched cottage finished to a high standard with beautiful gardens, garage and outbuilding. Located in the popular village of Thurlaston, the cottage dates back to circa 1350 and has modern amenities combined with original features.
Location
Thurlaston is a well regarded village and highly sought after as few houses come to the market. A small no-through village which retains a traditional feel with a strong friendly community, the village offers many social activities for those who wish to get involved, including an active fete, walking club, cider club and a progressive supper club. Neighbouring Dunchurch is just 1 mile away and offers many day to day facilities, including a primary and junior school, a variety of restaurants and public houses, florist, doctors surgery and library.
Within easy reach of major road networks in particular the M45/M1, Thurlaston is close to the market town of Rugby which is approximately 5 miles and has a frequent train service to London which takes just under 50 minutes and wide variety of shopping facilities. Royal Leamington Spa is 8 miles distant, Coventry, 13 miles and Leicester 20 miles.
The village borders Draycote Water for walking, sailing, fishing and bird watching and Whitefields Golf Course is nearby. Good primary and grammar schools (Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High School) are within the local area, as well as an excellent range of independent schools, including world famous Rugby School, Princethorpe College, Crescent School and Bilton Grange Preparatory School.
Ground Floor
The property is accessed through a rear door which leads to the rear entrance porch, with attractive oak wall panelling and tiled flooring. A further door opens into the hall which has quarry tiled flooring and brace and latch doors leading to the staircase, which rises to the first floor, and to the cloakroom with half height timber wall panelling and has been fitted with a low flush wc, wash hand basin, and recently replaced wall mounted boiler. The dining room has windows over the front and rear elevations, exposed wall and ceiling timbers, useful understairs storage cupboard along with a brick-built fireplace with flagstone hearth and oak beam over. A door provides access to the sitting room which also has dual aspect windows, exposed ceiling beams, with the focal point of the room being a wonderful inglenook fireplace with oak bressummer over, log burning stove, flagstone hearth and shelved recess to one side. The kitchen/breakfast room has windows to both the front and side elevations, quarry tiled flooring and has been recently re-fitted with a Fraser James cream, shaker style kitchen incorporating numerous cabinets and drawers, with butler sink and light granite work surfaces over. There is an integral dishwasher, fridge and built-in wine cooler, with fitted appliances including a range cooker. There is a stable door to the rear, which in turn gives access to the utility room and larder.
First Floor
A window over the landing has lovely views of the garden and affords lots of natural light. There is an attractive panelled wall, exposed cruck beam and brace & latch doors which lead to the first floor accommodation. The principal bedroom has a window overlooking the front elevation, painted ceiling and wall beams, bespoke fitted wardrobes and a door through to bedroom three, which also has a window overlooking the front elevation and an exposed cruck beam (refer to plan). Bedroom two has a range of bespoke fitted wardrobes to one wall and a window overlooking the front aspect. The family bathroom has been fitted with a roll top Victoriana style bath with claw feet with shower attachment over, pedestal wash hand basin, corner shower enclosure, heated towel rail and painted exposed wall beams, which complement the white washed wooden flooring.

Attractive lawn areas are interspersed with paths and divided by a lovely pergola and a Victoriana-style glass house. A converted former outdoor privy, which has been recently re-roofed, provides an attractive covered area, ideal for al fresco dining, and a large garden shed provides useful storage. These fabulous gardens have an extremely private feel and are bounded by natural borders.
