The Property - Twin Cottage is a delightful home full of heritage and charm. Originally two cottages and a small barn, it was built around 1640 and later made into one residence, sympathetically renovated in 1988. Known locally as Old Harry’s Cottage, it is one of the oldest dwellings in the village. A brick-built shed in the grounds once served as the laundry and wash house for this part of the village, adding to the property’s historic significance.
Inside, the accommodation extends to over 1,450 sq. ft. across two floors. The ground floor offers a wonderful blend of flexible living space: a welcoming lounge with an inglenook fireplace and exposed beams, a generous dining/sitting room ideal for family gatherings, and a farmhouse-style kitchen with ample space for informal dining. The kitchen range is thought to be original and remains in working order, while a Cookmaster range with gas and ceramic hob, electric grill, and three ovens provides excellent modern cooking facilities. From the sitting/dining room, French doors open directly onto the attractive garden, creating a seamless connection between inside and out. A hallway with bar area leads through to a versatile ground floor bedroom, alongside a convenient WC.
Upstairs, the property provides three further well-proportioned bedrooms, each full of character. The particularly spacious principal bedroom features beautiful exposed timbers and a striking exposed brick chimney breast, offering a real focal point to the room. The family bathroom was refitted year ago with a traditional suite, complementing the home’s period feel.
This unique home successfully blends historic charm with generous living accommodation, making it an ideal choice for families or buyers seeking a home of real character in the heart of a thriving Warwickshire village.
