**open house - Saturday, 19th September, 11AM-1PM**
A beautifully restored 19th century cottage in picturesque Sambourne, formerly part of the historic Throckmorton Estate. Offering timeless character, modern comfort, three double bedrooms, mature gardens, gated parking and a detached garage.
Beautifully positioned within the idyllic Warwickshire village of Sambourne, Green Dragon Cottage is a particularly appealing detached period home, steeped in character and enjoying a wonderful sense of privacy. Formerly part of the historic Throckmorton Estate, the property dates to the 19th century and has been lovingly cared for and sympathetically enhanced by the current owners over the past 22 years.
Investing considerably in the upgrade and maintenance of their home, improvements include a new kitchen, bathrooms and boiler. Importantly, these enhancements have been undertaken with sensitivity to the property's heritage, preserving the character and charm of Green Dragon Cottage.
The result is a home of considerable charm and individuality, where original architectural features sit comfortably alongside carefully considered modern improvements. Extending to approximately 1,576 sq ft, the accommodation offers a versatile arrangement of elegant reception spaces, three generous double bedrooms and well-appointed bathrooms, creating an exceptionally comfortable country home.
The approach is an important part of the property's appeal, with the cottage discreetly positioned beyond a mature and beautifully established garden. Its handsome twin gables and recessed central entrance create an immediately attractive façade, while the surrounding greenery gives the house a wonderfully secluded and timeless quality.
A welcoming entrance hall sets the tone for the accommodation, with a natural flow leading towards the principal reception rooms and providing an inviting introduction to the home. A separate study offers a peaceful retreat away from the main living areas, ideal for working from home. The living room is a delightfully warm and inviting space, rich in character with a beautiful inglenook fireplace creating the perfect focal point. This versatile room is equally suited to relaxed evenings at home or entertaining friends and family. A conveniently positioned wc and shower room complete this side of the accommodation.
The dining kitchen forms the true heart of the house, perfectly balancing the charm of country living with the practicality of a modern kitchen. Bespoke shaker-style cabinetry is complemented by granite work surfaces, a rangemaster double oven cooker and a classic Belfast sink. The kitchen also features a beautiful inglenook fireplace with log burner which along with exposed beams and tiled flooring enhances the character and charm. This sociable space is perfect for relaxed breakfasts, long lunches and evenings gathered around the fireplace.
First Floor
The property benefits from two separate staircases, each providing access to the first floor from a different part of the house. One rises directly from the living room, whilst the second leads from an inner hallway beside the kitchen. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms all with bespoke fitted furniture, thoughtfully designed to provide excellent storage while complementing the character and proportions of the accommodation. The principal bedroom also enjoys the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The family bathroom provides a beautifully appointed facility for the remaining bedrooms.
Gardens & Grounds
The gardens are undoubtedly one of Green Dragon Cottage's defining features. Mature trees and established planting provide a verdant backdrop to the property, creating a high degree of privacy and an enviable sense of seclusion. Lawned areas are complemented by deep established borders and a substantial stone terrace provides an elegant outdoor entertaining area adjoining the house. Ideal for summer dining, morning coffee or drinks with friends, it offers the perfect spot to enjoy the tranquillity of the gardens.
Approached through electric gates, the property enjoys generous private parking for several
vehicles, providing both security and convenience. A substantial detached brick-built garage sits within the grounds and offers excellent additional space for secure storage, vehicles, hobbies or workshop use.
Green Dragon Cottage represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful period home in an exceptionally attractive Warwickshire village setting, where architectural heritage, established gardens and modern comfort come together to create an idyllic country lifestyle.
Location
Sambourne has a long history dating back to the Domesday Book and is an attractive hamlet and civil parish located approximately 12 miles from Stratford-upon-Avon, 20 miles from Leamington Spa and 17 miles from Warwick. Despite its attractive setting in the countryside, Sambourne is well-placed for access to the Midland motorway network with regular commuter rail services being in operation from several accessible destinations. The nearest railway station is in Redditch and the village lies just 2 miles from the A435 with links to the major routes of the A46 and M42.
Green Dragon Cottage is in the heart of this picturesque village just a short walk from the village green. More comprehensive amenities can be found in nearby Studley and the roman town of Alcester with many independent shops, cafes and a Waitrose store. The present owners, who have been here 22 years, have loved this idyllic spot, enjoying the tranquillity of village life.
