4 Bedroom Detached House For Sale In Warwick

Hobbs Hole Cottage is an individual four-bedroom detached country home combining country character with contemporary design in a wonderfully private position on Yarningale Common. Extending to approximately 2,529 sq. ft, the accommodation offers four versatile reception rooms, a beautiful vaulted open-plan kitchen/garden room, and four bedrooms arranged across two upper floors.

Generous mature gardens, extensive terraces, covered entertaining spaces, and far-reaching countryside views complete an exceptional rural lifestyle within convenient reach of Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Leamington Spa.

Ground Floor
An enclosed entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hall, where an oak staircase rises through a double-height space and exposed timbers introduce the character found throughout the home. The hall also provides useful built-in storage and access to a guest cloakroom.

The generous sitting room is centred around a wood-burning stove and incorporates attractive exposed timber framing, while the adjoining snug offers a more intimate retreat. Together, these rooms create a flexible sequence of spaces for relaxing, reading, and entertaining, with a direct connection to the garden.

The heart of the house is the spectacular kitchen/garden room, an expansive, light-filled space with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, and rooflights. The Shaker-style kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of cabinetry, granite surfaces, integrated appliances, and a substantial island with breakfast-bar seating. Beyond, the garden room is perfect for relaxed entertaining and is framed by broad sliding glazed doors, drawing the countryside views into the room and opening onto the main terrace.

The dining area provides an elegant setting for more formal occasions and also opens directly onto the terrace, allowing gatherings to flow outside. A further family room, currently arranged as a home office, offers excellent flexibility for working from home, hobbies, or quieter everyday use, while a useful utility room supports the kitchen.

First Floor
The first floor landing overlooks the reception hall and serves three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is a generous retreat with extensive fitted wardrobes and an en-suite shower room, its sloping ceiling and exposed timbers adding character without compromising the sense of space.

Two further double bedrooms are complemented by a stylish family bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate walk-in shower, contemporary vanity storage, and natural stone-effect detailing. Built-in storage across the bedrooms adds welcome practicality.

Accessed from both an external staircase and a separate staircase from the kitchen/garden room, is a generous fourth bedroom beneath a vaulted, beam-lined ceiling. Currently arranged as a private gym, the room is illuminated by multiple rooflights and offers superb versatility as a guest bedroom, studio, games room, or further home-working space.

Outside
Hobbs Hole Cottage is approached along a secluded lane to a gated gravelled driveway providing generous off-road parking. Mature planting, brick walls, and established trees create privacy from the outset, while gated paths lead around the house.

The principal living spaces open onto an extensive raised terrace positioned to enjoy the open countryside beyond. An oak-framed covered dining area, further sheltered seating, and a water feature create a superb setting for year-round entertaining.

Beyond the terraces, the gardens broaden into a generous lawn bordered by mature woodland, ornamental planting, and established trees. A timber garden store provides practical storage, and the combination of open views, secluded corners, and multiple seating areas gives the grounds a particularly tranquil character.

Location
Yarningale Common is a peaceful rural hamlet within the parish of Claverdon, centred around one of Warwickshire’s few surviving unenclosed commons. The surrounding country lanes, footpaths, and walks along the canal offer immediate access to the landscape, while the village remains highly convenient for everyday life.

Claverdon provides a well-regarded primary school, medical practice, community and sporting facilities, and traditional public houses. A broader range of shops, restaurants, and leisure amenities can be found in Henley-in-Arden, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Leamington Spa.

The area is particularly well served for education with Claverdon Primary School nearby and a strong selection of independent and grammar schools within reach, including the Warwick Schools Foundation, The Kingsley School, Arnold Lodge, King Edward VI School, Stratford Girls’ Grammar School, and The Croft Preparatory School.

Claverdon Railway Station offers services towards Stratford-upon-Avon, Leamington Spa, and Birmingham, with wider rail connections available from Warwick Parkway and Leamington Spa, including services to London Marylebone. The M40 and Birmingham Airport are also readily accessible for regional and international travel.
