Welcome to The Cottage — a hand crafted & thoughtfully extended residence that manages beautifully to capture the essence of countryside living with the style and sophistication of a boutique hotel! Meticulously reimagined by its current owners, this exceptional home sits in nearly half an acre with over 2,700 sq. ft. of wonderfully curated space. With a myriad of reception rooms for extended family living to luxurious bedroom suites set over two floors and landscaped gardens made for entertaining, every detail has been thoughtfully designed to create a warm, elegant and extremely versatile home. All set against a stunning backdrop of countryside views on the edge of the charming village of Bonehill in Tamworth.
The moment you step into the welcoming Reception Hall, you’re met with a sense of light, flow and quality. A tiled floor and traditional column radiator offer hints of what’s to come, while the cleverly integrated understairs storage adds practicality. To the front of the home is a Guest Cloakroom with separate Shower, thoughtfully appointed with a rainfall shower and contemporary fittings — ideal for guests or indeed muddy pets.
At the heart of the home, the central Snug connects seamlessly with the kitchen, lounge and garden room, forming generously flexible spaces ideal for everyday life. A log burner set into a brick fireplace adds warmth and character in abundance. The Kitchen is inspired by Linda Barker’s signature style — elegant, functional, and filled with high-end features. The dining area with its bay window looks over the private garden to soak up the views as you eat, while integrated Neff appliances (including double ovens, hob, fridge-freezer, microwave, dishwasher, and wine cooler) offer convenience in style. Flowing from the snug, the Garden Room offers French doors out to the garden patio and is ideal as a reading nook, family room or creative space. A discreet Rear Lobby leads to a Utility Area with room for laundry appliances, gas boiler & large pressurised water tank.
The Lounge is a wonderful reception space with engineered wood flooring and a statement fireplace housing a coal-effect gas fire. Crittall-style French doors frame views into the conservatory, inviting natural light to flood in. The Conservatory is a glorious vantage point overlooking the garden and fields beyond — complete with air conditioning and French doors, it’s perfect for peaceful mornings or summer entertaining.
This level also hosts a Guest Bedroom Suite, complete with fitted wardrobes and a luxurious en-suite bathroom featuring a waterfall tap bath and rainfall shower. Two further ground floor bedrooms offer built-in wardrobes and flexibility for family, guests or home working. A contemporary Shower Room serves these rooms, completing the thoughtful layout.
Upstairs, the Master Bedroom Suite is a tranquil retreat. Spanning the width of the house, it offers a clear division between sleeping and dressing areas, with an extensive range of wardrobes, a matching chest of drawers, and a built-in window seat. The en-suite shower room echoes the same high standard seen throughout — rainfall fittings, vanity unit, and a heated towel rail. A further Double Bedroom with integrated wardrobes and shelving sits opposite the master, with access to a stylish separate Shower Room, making it ideal for guests, teenagers or multi-generational living.
Outside the home is approached via Electric Gates that open to a newly laid tarmac driveway with ample parking. The driveway then opens into an extended stone chipped parking area — practical and secure - the perfect place to add a detached double garage if required (STPP). The Gardens are a true delight. Beautifully landscaped with large areas of terracing, established borders and specimen trees, they offer year-round interest and privacy. Whether it’s hosting summer dinners or enjoying a morning coffee with a view, the outdoor spaces are designed to impress. On a practical note, a large stylish shed offers storage for all your gardening equipment in addition to a charming brick built out building with pitched tiled roof - a 'hobbit snuck' in the waiting maybe! Completing the lifestyle offering is a bespoke Bar and Garden Room, purpose-built for entertaining with French doors, a covered seating area or place for a hot tub, and potential for year-round use.

A Little More About Bonehill...
Stud Farm Drive & Bonehill itself has become both highly desirable & notable because of its close proximity to Bonehill House which sits near the north end of, what was, Drayton Park. It was the seat of Mrs. Peel, relict of the late Edmund Peel, Esq., who died in November 1850 a few months after his brother Robert Peel. The Peel family’s business was founded in calico printing mills at Fazeley, Staffordshire and in Lancashire.
Bonehill house has served as a residence for notable local families and has seen different uses, including as a school during World War II. Its rich history adds character to the locality, and the house itself is an architectural gem.
Local Schools: Bonehill benefits from proximity to several well-regarded schools. Notable options include Millfield & Longwood Primary Schools, which serve the immediate community, and nearby secondary schools like Rawlett Academy and Tamworth Enterprise College, providing a range of educational choices for residents.
Road & Rail Network: Bonehill enjoys excellent connectivity. It is situated near major roadways, including the nearby Sutton Road, which connects Tamworth to desirable Sutton Coldfield and provides access to the wider road network. Additionally, the A5 offers direct links Lichfield, Shenstone & Cannock. The A38 & M42 motorway facilitate easy travel to Birmingham and beyond. For rail travel, the Tamworth railway station is conveniently located, connecting residents to Birmingham, London, and other key destinations. When HS2 completes, Tamworth in general is situated in the optimal position to make the most of high speed rail travel & hopefully be reflected in rising property prices too!
Overall, Bonehill, Tamworth, offers a desirable location with good educational options, excellent transport connections, and a fascinating historical legacy through Bonehill House.
