Summary - LONG THATCH, WOLVERTON FIELDS, WARWICK, NORTON LINDSEY CV35 8JN
Grade II listed thatched cottage circa 1550 with original oak frames
Long Thatch is a rare Grade II‑listed thatched cottage dating from circa 1550, set on a large, well‑landscaped plot on the edge of Norton Lindsey. The house combines substantial period character — exposed oak and elm frames, inglenook fireplaces and leaded windows — with carefully executed modern additions including a Border Oak orangery and a high‑quality Harvey Jones kitchen. The cottage offers generous family accommodation across multiple reception rooms, a master bedroom with en‑suite, three further bedrooms and useful ancillary space above the detached oak double garage.
The gardens are a major asset: established Arts & Crafts planting, specimen trees, a knot garden, greenhouse, wild meadow strip, pond with koi and multiple water points fed by a well and hand pump. The detached oak garage includes a guest bedroom with en‑suite, creating clear annexe potential or long‑term guest accommodation. Practical features include ample gated driveway parking, electric points across the site and fast broadband and mobile signal in this very low‑crime village location.
Important practical notes: the property is Grade II listed, which will limit alterations and require specialist consent and maintenance approaches. The house has a long straw thatch that has been professionally maintained; thatch upkeep is specialist and will be a continuing ownership responsibility. Heating is not gas‑fired (oil boiler present) and services, appliances and systems have not been tested, so buyers should commission their own inspections. Council Tax is Band F, reflecting the property’s size and location.
Offered freehold at £925,000 and presenting a versatile family home with strong character, substantial gardens and ancillary accommodation, Long Thatch will suit buyers seeking a historic country home with modern comforts — and who understand and are prepared for the obligations of listed‑building ownership and thatched‑roof maintenance.
