Welford-on-Avon is a highly sought after Warwickshire village positioned midway between Stratford-Upon-Avon and the North Cotswolds border, popular for its award winning pubs, riverside restaurant, local village stores, well regarded primary school, and 18 hole golf course.

Thornette Cottage and the adjoining Thorn Cottage have stood in the centre of this village for over 300 years and are Grade 2 listed.

A comprehensive renovation of both of these cottages has been carried out between 2019 - 2024 and the result is an exceptional example of a period property skilfully restored, extended, and updated for modern living. The historic arrangement of the two cottages as separate self contained properties now provides scope for multi-generational living, a living / investment opportunity, or to be further configured to suit a new occupant's living space preferences.

Please note: Both cottages and the surrounding grounds are being offered for sale together. There is no option to split the sale or to purchase just one cottage.

Accommodation in detail:

Thornette Cottage has 3 bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms and two living rooms, and Thorn Cottage has two bedrooms, one bathroom and one living room. There are two kitchens, both newly fitted and including a range of integrated Bosch and Hotpoint appliances. New boilers and radiators provide central heating, complemented by underfloor heating to all ground floor rooms. The property is fully double glazed, lighting is all low energy LED, and the cottages have been pre-wired with CAT5e ethernet cabling to the main rooms. The result is that an exceptional standard of comfortable modern living has been achieved whilst still retaining many original or historic features including oak beams, polished flagstone floors, fireplaces and exposed brickwork.

Outside, the gardens have been completely remodelled and landscaped with a new gravel driveway and separate pedestrian access, lawned areas, and paving that wraps around the house. A particular feature is the expansive south facing terrace with ample room for large garden furniture or perhaps a new owner may wish to add an outdoor kitchen to create the ultimate entertaining space. There is plenty of car parking on the driveway and under cover within the oak framed double car port, also featuring solar roof panels and electric car charging points.

This entire renovation and extension project was carried out with great care and attention to detail by a range of specialist craftsmen in full consultation with heritage experts and the local authority, Stratford-on-Avon District Council, therefore all relevant permissions and paperwork are readily available. The properties are being sold together with no onward chain.
