Description

A Rare Opportunity To Own A Piece Of Old Yardley History

Nestled within the heart of the highly sought-after Old Yardley Conservation Area, Penny Cottage is a remarkable Grade II Listed family home dating back to 1826. The property's distinctive name originates from its first occupier, local blacksmith John Leake, who leased the cottage from the Yardley Charity Estate Trustees for the princely sum of just one penny per year. Almost 200 years later, Penny Cottage remains one of Old Yardley's most fascinating historic homes, combining a rich heritage with the comforts of modern-day living.

Occupying a picturesque position directly opposite the beautiful St Edburgha's Church, one of Birmingham's oldest parish churches, the property enjoys a setting that feels more like a traditional English village than a suburb of the city. Surrounded by historic buildings and mature greenery, this unique location offers a rare blend of character, tranquillity and convenience.

The accommodation is both spacious and versatile, featuring three well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, separate shower room and a modern fitted kitchen. At the heart of the home is a spacious open-plan living arrangement, where the main reception areas seamlessly connect to create an inviting space for everyday family life and entertaining. A separate dining room adds further flexibility and character to the accommodation.

Throughout the property, period charm sits comfortably alongside thoughtful modern improvements. Character features serve as a reminder of the home's rich heritage, whilst the layout and presentation ensure it is perfectly suited to contemporary living.

Outside, the landscaped rear garden provides a private and inviting space to relax, unwind or entertain during the warmer months. The property's enviable position within Old Yardley places local amenities, schools, transport links and Birmingham city centre within easy reach, whilst still retaining the feel of a traditional village community.

Homes of this historical significance rarely become available. Whether you are drawn to its fascinating story, its charming character or its unique location opposite St Edburgha's Church, Penny Cottage presents a wonderful opportunity to own a genuine piece of Old Yardley's heritage.

Viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the history, charm and lifestyle on offer within this exceptional Grade II Listed residence.
