Yew Tree Cottage offers spacious living with two bedrooms, two loft rooms, excellent garden, driveway parking, and great potential. In need of modernisation, it's a superb opportunity in the heart of Meriden.

Yew Tree Cottage, situated on Main Road in the desirable village of Meriden, offers a charming and deceptively spacious home full of potential. This characterful property offers just over 1200 sq. feet of living space, boasting a generous layout across two floors and is set within a superb garden plot, perfect for those seeking outdoor space. While in need of modernisation, the cottage presents an exciting opportunity for buyers to put their own stamp on a home in a sought-after location.

The ground floor accommodation features a spacious living room with bay window, a separate dining room ideal for entertaining, and a separate galley-style kitchen that leads to a bright breakfast room overlooking the rear garden. A conveniently located ground floor shower room adds to the practicality of the layout.

Upstairs, the first floor comprises two bedrooms, with the principal bedroom having an en-suite WC only. In addition, two loft rooms offer further versatile space for storage or conversion, subject to the necessary permissions.

Externally, Yew Tree Cottage benefits from a private driveway providing off-road parking and a generous rear garden—perfect for gardening enthusiasts. This is a fantastic opportunity to create a beautiful home in a well-connected village setting with excellent access to local amenities, schools, and transport links. Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the potential this property holds.
