Main Street, Bishampton, WR10

Whitethorn Cottage is the very picture of rural English charm; a quintessential, Grade II listed chocolate-box home nestled at the heart of the sought-after village of Bishampton. Lovingly renovated in recent years, it beautifully balances the romance of its heritage with the comfort and practicality of modern living, offering a rare opportunity for buyers seeking an idyllic country retreat.

From the moment you arrive, the setting enchants. A block-paved driveway provides off-road parking for up to two cars, while the cottage itself sits enveloped by landscaped, wrap-around gardens with stone walls, mature hedging and planted borders. A greenhouse and potting shed are also tucked away to the rear, for the keen gardener. At the top of the garden, a charming summerhouse offers wonderful versatility; equally suited to use as a workshop, creative studio or peaceful home office.

Entry to the rear of the cottage is via a glazed porch or sun room, where you can pause to enjoy views across the enclosed gardens before stepping into the heart of the home. The kitchen has been sympathetically upgraded with modern cabinetry, integrated double ovens, induction hob and dishwasher, all chosen to complement rather than compete with the cottage’s character. Adjoining this space is a practical cloakroom and W.C., ideal for everyday living.

The reception rooms radiate warmth and personality. The sitting room is a quintessential country snug, centred around a magnificent inglenook fireplace with a solid fuel burner; a perfect spot to unwind with the glow of the fire on cooler evenings. Across the hallway, the dining room exudes character, with exposed timber beams overhead and dual-aspect windows framing views of both the front and rear gardens. It is a space made for intimate suppers or relaxed family gatherings.

Upstairs, the first floor landing provides a nook ideal for a small study or reading area, from which two delightful double bedrooms are accessed. Each room celebrates the cottage’s age and character, with period details adding charm and individuality. A well-appointed shower room serves the floor, completing the accommodation.

Every element of Whitethorn Cottage has been carefully considered and cherished, resulting in a home that feels both deeply rooted in history and effortlessly liveable. Its storybook appearance, character features and tranquil setting in one of Worcestershire’s most desirable villages make it a truly special offering; the kind of home that captures hearts.
