Newnham, Henley in Arden | 6 bedrooms | £1,950,000

A Captivating Country Residence with Idyllic Gardens and Versatile Living Space

Welcome to Tutnells Hill Farm, a characterful and historically rich country home set in the heart of the Warwickshire countryside, in the peaceful hamlet of Newnham near Henley-in-Arden.

Located within nearly two acres of beautifully maintained grounds, the property is graced by one of the prettiest large Horse Chestnut trees you are ever likely to see, standing proudly in the front garden. Offering a rare blend of period features and modern comforts, Tutnells Hill Farm also boasts a superbly appointed one-bedroom flat above a detached garage, thoughtfully renovated in 2020, ideal for guests or multi-generational living. Additional highlights include an outdoor heated swimming pool, a cellar, and a delightful setting that perfectly balances rural seclusion with excellent access to nearby Henley-in-Arden and surrounding villages.

Believed to date back around 500 years, this remarkable semi-detached farmhouse is steeped in heritage and charm, and has been lovingly cared for by the same owners for nearly 38 years.

Set behind a secure gated entrance, this beautiful home offers both charm and practicality in equal measure. A large driveway welcomes you into the grounds, setting the tone for what lies beyond.

The ground floor opens with an exceptionally welcoming hallway, complete with characterful flagstone flooring, which gently guides you into the heart of the home. The main sitting room is bathed in natural light, offering picturesque views across the rear garden – your first glimpse of the truly stunning setting this property enjoys.

Continuing from the hallway, you’ll find a generous guest cloakroom within a well-proportioned boot room with ample space for coats and outdoor gear. A door from the hallway also provides access to a useful cellar. 

To the east of the property, the formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, with fireplace and double doors leading into the current games room – a versatile space that also opens directly onto the rear terrace. Off the dining room, there’s a charming snug, ideal for quiet evenings or a cosy retreat.

The heart of the home is undoubtedly the country-style kitchen, centred around a traditional oil-fired AGA – a welcome companion in the autumn and winter months. Adjoining the kitchen are a spacious utility room, a walk-in larder/pantry, and a ground-floor shower room, offering everyday practicality. A discreet oak staircase leads to a wonderful study space on the first floor, a private enclave to escape the activities of the home. 

Upstairs, the first floor offers four bedrooms and three bathrooms, while the top floor hosts an additional bedroom and a dressing area which the current owners use as a bedroom – ideal for family or guests.

In 2020, the owners fully renovated the flat above the detached double garage to a high specification. This independent accommodation includes a kitchen and living area, bedroom, shower room, and mezzanine level – perfect for guests, extended family, or even home working. Access is via a beautifully designed external staircase.

The southerly facing gardens are a true delight – beautifully landscaped and bathed in sunlight. A heated swimming pool and a range of outbuildings offer further appeal for keen gardeners or those looking for workshop space. The large detached double garage to the west of the property provides additional secure parking and storage. There is also a large external ‘Gardener’s WC’/store.

All in all, this is a much-loved and endearing home, with exquisite gardens and flexible accommodation, all in a peaceful yet easily accessible location.
