Jasmine Cottage - Birmingham Road, Stoneleigh CV8

Set within the heart of a highly regarded Warwickshire village conservation area, this exceptional Grade II listed period home offers a rare combination of architectural character, generous proportions and beautifully executed modern living.

Description

A Standout Period Home in One of Warwickshire’s Most Desirable Villages

Positioned in the heart of the conservation area, Jasmine Cottage is an impressive Grade II listed village house offering character, space and flexibility in equal measure. Having remained in the same family ownership since its original purchase from the Stoneleigh Estate, the property has been fully renovated and remodelled, creating a beautifully presented home ready for immediate occupation.

With its origins as a farmhouse serving a 70-acre holding, and later a village tea room, Jasmine Cottage now provides generous and adaptable accommodation. The presence of four en suite bedrooms makes it ideal for family life.

Inside the House

The ground floor offers excellent reception space, with four separate rooms in the original part of the house, two featuring wood-burning stoves set within traditional fireplaces. Period details are evident throughout, including exposed ceiling beams, character windows, attractive flooring and a timber staircase, all complemented by tasteful, modern finishes.

A major enhancement to the property is the large family room extension, designed to maximise light and connection with the garden. Bi-fold doors and a substantial roof lantern create a bright, open space that works perfectly for everyday living and entertaining.

This room links directly to the kitchen/breakfast room, formerly a detached building and now a striking vaulted space with exposed trusses. The kitchen is well equipped with integrated appliances, a breakfast bar and a door opening onto the south-facing garden.

Bedrooms & Additional Space

Upstairs, the house provides four well-proportioned bedrooms, each with its own stylish en suite shower room. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in fitted dressing area, adding a practical luxury.

There is also a two-chamber cellar beneath the house and a staircase leading to a large loft storage area, which may offer scope for further accommodation, subject to the relevant listed building approvals. A fixed staircase provides access to the loft room currently used as a storage room.

Outside

The property presents an attractive Georgian-style frontage to the village street, with distinctive octagonal chimney stacks adding to its visual appeal. A gated driveway to the side leads to a large parking area, a valuable feature in a central village location.

To the rear is a generous garden, mainly laid to lawn, with part of the land held on a peppercorn lease from Lord Leigh (can be purchased on separate terms). A paved terrace sits directly behind the house, ideal for outdoor dining.

A particular highlight is the detached outbuilding, currently arranged as a fully fitted bar and entertaining room, offering excellent space for social gatherings, celebrations or visiting guests.

Location & Lifestyle

Stoneleigh is a sought-after Warwickshire village surrounded by attractive countryside and close to Stoneleigh Abbey, the Deer Park Golf Course and the National Agricultural Centre. The University of Warwick is approximately two miles away.

The village supports an active and welcoming community, with sports facilities, a parish church, village hall, club and local history society. The Meadow Society maintains a communal orchard and produces the well-known Stoneleigh cider.

The property falls within the catchment for Leek Wootton Primary School, with an excellent selection of independent and state schools nearby, including Warwick Prep, Warwick School, King’s High School, Kingsley School, Arnold Lodge, King Henry VIII School and Bablake.

Sellers Story

Jasmine Cottage was originally a detached farm house servicing a 70 acre farm, built using the bricks from Stoneleigh brick yard. It was also Stoneleigh tea rooms until I first moved to Jasmine Cottage in 1979 with my parents and siblings, renting the house from Lord Leigh of Stoneleigh Abbey. We purchased the house in 1999, being the second owner of the property since it was built in 1765!

Jasmine Cottage is a beautiful family home, full of life, spacious with a lovely welcoming vibe.

We spend a lot of time in the new extension, a large kitchen, lounge diner, perfect for entertaining. We feel the outlook brings the outside in.
Our other favourite room is the bar. Originally a piggery, and then a kids play den and 12 years ago it was converted into a bar. This proved to be our saviour during lockdown, it felt like we were going out for dinner and drinks albeit in our own home.
We were delighted to host a charity event in the garden, raising money for various charities. Over 150 arrived, enjoying a BBQ, horse racing, raffle, auction and of course live entertainment.

What have you enjoyed the most?
We have enjoyed renovating the house, modernising it, whilst keeping the original features and character. We found an old floorboard in a bedroom with the “shopping list” of a carpenter materials he would need for the job with his signature. We contacted our local historian, who confirmed the carpenter was the Son of the tenant, this was 1850, the house was already 85 years old!

We have loved being custodians of the house, paving the way for the new owners to love it as much as we have.

What will you miss/ why are you selling?
We will miss many things about the house, the countryside, village vibe with the fantastic community parties and activities for both adults and children. The village has a club, village hall, football pitch, tennis courts, playground, etc
We will be sad to leave, however we are looking to downsize as we gently move into retirement

extra info – Renovations upgrades etc
Jasmine Cottage has been renovated to a high standard, however there are further opportunities to convert both the cellar and loft into additional living space.
