Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, CV8 3DQ

Thomas de Pypes Mill is a fabulous Tudor style home where a 16th century cottage has been meticulously blended with recent extensions in the same style providing six bedrooms, six reception rooms and a GIA of 6918sqft (643sqm) on a plot of eight acres.

Thomas de Pypes Mill is a fabulous family home perfectly located down a long sweeping drive just outside the desirable village of Stoneleigh and a few miles to Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Coventry with all amenities and transport links close by including M40, M69, M1 and M6 and both Coventry and Warwick Parkway train stations with only 60 minutes commute to London Euston from Coventry.

Offering great privacy with two acres of stunning landscaped gardens, four acres of paddock and two acres of further woodland. The property is surrounded by fields, one neighbouring period house, woods and Finham brook that sits below the land of the property on one side. There are excellent flood defence mechanisms in place to prevent any flooding on Thomas de Pypes Mill land. The HS2 line is much further away and closer to Stoneleigh with no impact on the property and the A46 by-pass and Severn Trent water treatment works nearby have a minor impact on the property. This property must be seen to appreciate its style, size of accommodation, stunning gardens and location nestled in amazing Warwickshire countryside.

Thomas de Pypes Mill has been named after the Abbott of Stoneleigh Abbey and originally dates from the 16th century being extended in the 1970s in Tudor style with attractive stucco plasterwork under a clay tiled roof and new double-glazed windows and roof insulation. The extension works built by a local stonemason embraces new with old including many reclaimed and original materials.

Thomas de Pypes Mill has the added benefit of not being a Grade II listed property so any further modernisation or changes will not need listed or heritage consent.
