THE THATCHED COTTAGE

Bulkington Lane | Nuneaton | CV11 4SA

The Thatched Cottage, a truly wonderful property that oozes true English tradition and heritage, this home is definitely one of a kind. And to top it off, this property comes with its own secluded two-bedroom bungalow and Orchard. This unique and enchanting property has open fireplaces, York stone flooring, traditional oak beams and even a minstrel gallery off the master suite overlooking the room that the owners refer to as the ‘Grand Hall.’

A distinctive and iconic Chocolate Box Cottage set upon the approach to the bustling Warwickshire town of Nuneaton. The Thatched Cottage is a deceptively large property set within an acre of mature, landscaped grounds. For thatch cottage enthusiasts Ron and Hazel, it was the cosy atmosphere and wealth of original features that first attracted them to the property where they have lived for the past 30 years.

To the left of the entrance hall there is a cosy reception room with an open living flame gas fireplace; this room naturally flows through the dining room that looks out to the patio area of the garden.

Through the dining room there is a snug, again with living flame gas fireplace. Following onto the kitchen that has a door to access the rear garden.

“The best views of the house are from the kitchen window. You can look out across the garden and all the way down to the pond.�

“The current owners have lovingly restored the property with reclaimed materials and have added a spectacular extension with York Stone flooring; in keeping with the traditional style. Thatched properties are notorious for their insulating qualities, holding in the heat over the winter months and allowing the property to cool during the summer.

On a midwinters evening or a frosty morning the crackle of a real log fire burning in the grand fireplace, provide a snug and pleasant environment for relaxing with the family.�

To the right of the entrance hall is a room that can only be described as ‘The Grand Hall’ which has a stunning open fireplace, vaulted ceilings and a minstrel gallery to the master suite.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms, one which could be split for a further bedroom. The master suite is extremely spacious. There is a dressing area, ensuite and main bedroom area, which has double doors to a minstrel gallery overlooking ‘The Grand Hall.’ There is also a family bathroom.

The gardens have been immaculately landscaped; there is also a pond with various water features and an orchard within the grounds. “Step out into the spacious gardens and you are in another world.�

The Bungalow This is a two bedroom detached property with living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a main bathroom and sun room which is great for entertaining. This property has been rented out and provides an excellent income/ investment and for anyone upsizing to the property it could really help out.

Location The property provides excellent access to the Lutterworth Road which in turn connects with the M69 which in turn connects to the A5 and the M6. The George Elliott Hospital is also only a short drive away.
