The Green, Chesterton

A charming late 1700s semi-detached cottage, sympathetically extended and nestled in the heart of Chesterton Village, just a short stroll from the iconic Chesterton Windmill and surrounded by glorious open views. This unique and beautifully presented home combines period character with creative flair, reflecting the artistic vision of its designer owners. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall and an impressive open-plan living space, thoughtfully zoned into a sitting area with panoramic bifold doors overlooking the countryside, a cosy lounge with a log burner, a formal dining space, a country-style kitchen, and a garden room filled with natural light. Additional features include a guest WC/utility room. Upstairs, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms—the principal suite benefiting from a walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom—along with a stylish family shower room. Outside, the plot extends to just under one-third of an acre and includes a mature garden, various summer houses, sheds, and a hilltop home studio perfect for work or retreat. There is ample off-road parking to the front, and the elevated position offers truly breathtaking views across the Warwickshire countryside.
