Historical Notes
The Willoughby de Broke family was originally given the land that the house now sits upon, by Henry VIII. They owned large estates across South Warwickshire, and Northend Manor was part of this wider rural estate. The original Manor House was built for the estate manager of the Willoughby de Broke family during the 16th century and it is understood that the house was then later extended in 1664. The property was originally called Manor Farm and was a working farm until the mid-1800s. It is thought that The Coach House and stable blocks were added in the late 1700s, and The Coach House was partially converted to residential use in 1973.
During the Catholic persecutions of the 1600s, the House was leased by Lady Wootton. It is thought that a tunnel ran from the cellar of Northend Manor to the Chapel of St James and that there were priest holes in the cellar of the house to hide the resident priest. The Willoughby de Broke family finally sold Northend Manor in 1927.
The current owner was told by a local resident, now deceased, that as a boy he worked at Northend Manor as a stable lad. During this time, Edward VIII (Prince of Wales as he was at the time), stayed at Northend Manor on at least one occasion during the 1920/30s to take part in the shooting parties that were held at the house. Edward VIII was friends with Daisy Greville, Countess of Warwick, and she had links with the social and political landowning world at this time in South Warwickshire. Another notable previous owner of Northend Manor (1950–1972) is John Joseph Parkes who was a British automotive and aviation executive best known as Chairman and Managing Director of the Alvis Company. His son, Mike Parkes, was a Formula 1 racing driver and Ferrari engineer.
Main house accommodation
Steps at the front of the house lead up to a most attractive main entrance door that leads through a stone vestibule with a door to the spacious reception hall. This central hall features an oak floor, a substantial open stone fireplace and the beautiful oak staircase. Off the reception hall is a large cloakroom/rear hall with door to garden and WC, whilst the two principal reception rooms radiate off the hall. The elegant drawing room features stone mullioned windows on three elevations, ceiling mouldings and a substantial stone period fireplace. The dining room is perfectly placed between the reception hall and kitchen, with key features including an impressive inglenook fireplace and substantial stone mullion window with seat beneath.
The well fitted kitchen features a central island and oil fired aga cooker in addition to a good range of fitted furniture, granite work surfaces and kitchen appliances. Beyond here are large utility and boot rooms. In this part of the house there is also access to the boiler room and two room cellar. An inner hall with WC off has access to the front drive, rear courtyard and also provides the connection to the rear staircase and beyond to the self-contained flat. This comprises living room, kitchen, bedroom and bathroom plus an independent entrance hall.
At first floor level there is a master bedroom having large dressing room with shower and an en suite bathroom. In addition to this there are six further bedrooms, two additional bathrooms, WC, sitting room and office.
The Coach House
The Coach House is built of matching ironstone elevations with double glazed timber windows and pitched tiled roofs. At one end of the building is a single garage.
The focal point of this substantial barn conversion is a dramatic two storey high reception room which opens to lofty pitched ceilings with beautiful exposed roof trusses. This large living room has an open plan kitchen off which is very well fitted with a range of units, granite work surfaces and integrated appliances.
Off a small inner hall is a WC, utility cupboard and connecting door to a secondary kitchen. This in turn leads through to another good sized reception room creating great flexibility for use, with this part of The Coach House also having an independent entrance.
There are two staircases within The Coach House providing first floor access. At one end of the house are three double bedrooms and a bathroom whilst the other staircase leads to a separate bedroom suite.
Gardens and grounds
The principal entrance to Northend Manor is through a splendid gated entrance with tall stone pillars to the delightful front courtyard. This courtyard is enclosed by the house, tall stone walls and a yew hedge and provides parking for many vehicles. There is a separate vehicular access to the large coach house courtyard.
The main garden areas are to the south and east of the house. On the south side expansive lawns lead out to herbaceous beds, shrubberies and a variety of long established deciduous and evergreen trees. Closely clipped box hedges mark the edge of the upper lawn and there is a seating terrace close to the house. Above the lawn and enclosed by tall yew hedges is a beautiful parterre garden. Wide stone steps lead up into this delightful formal area where gravel paths encircle beautifully shaped box hedged areas, the four outer shapes enclosing obelisks draped with climbing roses. Beyond the parterre is an arboretum having a large lawn interspersed with a variety of specimen trees and shrubbery.
Nearer to the house and partly enclosed by tall beech hedges is an enchanting wildlife garden. A small upper pool is water-fed by a stone cascade with a much larger pool beneath planted with lilies and surrounded by a wide variety of water loving plants. To the rear of the wildlife garden is a large rockery planted with hellebores and other plants. Adjacent, a rose-clad pergola marks the start of a beech lined walk up to the tennis court. The all-weather tennis court is fully fenced and to one side, standing on a paved terrace, is an oak framed viewing pavilion/summer house. To the other side of the tennis court is a long-established orchard.
The surrounding pastureland is well fenced and interspersed with a variety of trees. The paddocks have water laid on and separate vehicular access.
Off The Coach House courtyard is a range of single storey outbuildings where stable blocks house 10 loose boxes plus a variety of multipurpose stores.
Situation
Little Dassett is a small rural hamlet situated in the southern part of Warwickshire, not far from the Oxfordshire boundary, an area known for its elevated landscape and long agricultural history. Today, Little Dassett is characterised by open countryside, historic buildings and traces of former settlement patterns that reflect a far more active medieval past than its present quiet appearance suggests. Surviving ridge-and-furrow earthworks and the siting of historic structures all contribute to its archaeological significance. The Old Chapel, recorded on late 19thcentury mapping, provides a physical reminder of the medieval community that once existed. The hamlet is close to Burton Dassett Hills Country Park, which occupies higher ground to the north-west, provides excellent local walks and panoramic views across Warwickshire.
One of Little Dassett’s principal advantages is its strategic rural location. The hamlet sits within very easy reach of Warwick, Banbury, Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon and Coventry. Collectively, these easily-accessible regional centres offer an exceptional range of shopping, entertainment and cultural attractions. The location is also perfect for a wide range of schools including Warwick School and King’s High School in Warwick, The Kingsley School and Arnold Lodge in Leamington, The Croft near Stratford and Bloxham School and Tudor Hall in the Banbury area. The M40 motorway is accessed in minutes providing direct connectivity to the Midlands, Oxford and London. Direct rail services run from Warwick Parkway and Banbury to London and Birmingham.
