About this home
Set in the heart of Kenilworth’s historic Old Town, overlooking Abbey Fields and close to St Nicholas Church, Church Cottage is a beautifully restored three bedroom period home offering more than 1,000 sq ft of accommodation across three floors. Offered for sale with no onward chain, it combines genuine character with stylish contemporary finishes in one of the town’s most desirable settings. Approached via a discreet side entrance set back from the road, the property immediately feels private and secluded. The entrance hall opens into an impressive sitting and dining room extending the full depth of the house. Exposed beams and a striking inglenook fireplace with cast iron fire provide an abundance of period character, while plantation shutters and French doors opening onto the south facing courtyard garden bring plenty of natural light into the room. It is an inviting and versatile space, equally suited to relaxed evenings at home, family dining or entertaining friends. The kitchen has been recently remodelled to complement the character of the cottage, combining exposed beams and a traditional cottage door with contemporary cabinetry, integrated and freestanding appliances and crisp tiled splashbacks. One of the kitchen’s most attractive features is the outlook, with views extending across the garden towards Abbey Fields and the distinctive spire of St Nicholas Church. The first floor provides two generous double bedrooms, both with built in wardrobes and plantation shutters. One enjoys views across the charming Old Town streetscape, while the second looks towards the mature trees surrounding Abbey Fields. A beautifully finished family bathroom serves this floor, complete with bespoke Amtico flooring and a contemporary suite. Additional built in storage on the landing provides useful everyday practicality. Occupying the entire second floor, the principal bedroom creates an impressive private retreat. Dual aspect windows fill the room with natural light, while plantation shutters and alcoves either side of the chimney breast add both character and the opportunity for further fitted storage. A stylish en suite shower room completes the top floor. Outside, the south facing courtyard cottage garden is a particularly special feature. Traditional brick paving complements the period architecture and provides plenty of space for outdoor dining, morning coffee or relaxing in the afternoon sun. The original brick boundary wall, wrought iron railings and carefully designed screening create a good degree of privacy while retaining views towards Abbey Fields and St Nicholas Church. A brick built garden store provides useful external storage. Alongside the property is a beautifully maintained community garden, providing an additional attractive green space to enjoy without the responsibility of its upkeep. Church Cottage occupies an exceptional position for enjoying everything Kenilworth Old Town has to offer. Abbey Fields is immediately accessible, while the historic High Street, local pubs, restaurants, cafés and independent businesses are all close at hand. Permit parking is available at the nearby Abbey Fields car park. At the time of marketing, the cost is understood to be £48 per vehicle per year, with permits available for up to two vehicles. Buyers should independently verify the current availability, terms and charges. With three double bedrooms, two bathrooms, more than 1,000 sq ft of accommodation, a south facing garden and wonderful views towards Abbey Fields, Church Cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented period home in one of Kenilworth’s most distinctive locations.
