Caretaker’s Cottage has undergone a full renovation to the highest standard by the current owners and now offers superb, characterful accommodation, faithful to its 18th century build, with modern, current-day upgrades. A deceptively large cottage with approximately 2,000sq.ft of space. The property boasts an open plan kitchen/living space, a large living room, two double bedrooms, both of which have exquisite ensuite bathrooms with marble tiles, a guest WC, a separate laundry, an ideal gym room, and a garden store, as well as benefiting from secure, gated off-road parking and communal courtyard gardens. The property is allocated 2 parking spaces.
Direct access to the property from the high street is available through a boot room, and a more secluded rear courtyard entrance leads through to the open hallway. The living room is to the front of the property with original exposed beams, panelling, a feature open fireplace and a quarry tile hearth. The kitchen, to the rear, is light and airy. It features an antique REX stove, green units with pale quartz worktops above and a built-in window seat at the sash window looking into the courtyard. The kitchen is equipped with an electric hob with an extractor above, a low-level oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Belfast sink. There is an integral pantry/laundry room and a guest WC with underfloor heating.
Many of the original flooring dates back over 200 years, adding character and charm to the space. Additionally, new windows and/or secondary glazing have been fitted to certain areas, enhancing both energy efficiency and the overall aesthetic of the property.
This property is offered with no upward chain. Viewings are by appointment only.
Situated in an unbeatable location with easy access to local amenities and transport links, this cottage offers the perfect blend of historical charm and contemporary living in a prime Coleshill setting.
