Birmingham Road, Allesley, Coventry

Nestled on the charming Birmingham Road in Allesley, Coventry, this delightful house offers a perfect blend of comfort and style. With four spacious bedrooms, this property is ideal for families or those seeking extra space for guests or a home office. The three well-appointed reception rooms provide ample opportunity for relaxation and entertainment, making it easy to host gatherings or enjoy quiet evenings at home.

Description - From first impressions alone, it is impossible to appreciate just how much this home has to offer. Deceptively spacious throughout, this is very much a property that continues to surprise as you move from room to room, revealing generous living spaces and a layout that simply keeps on giving.

Beautifully presented and thoughtfully arranged, the accommodation has been designed with modern family living in mind. Rich solid wooden flooring flows through the principal living areas, adding warmth, character and a timeless quality to the home. The welcoming reception rooms provide comfortable spaces to relax, while the heart of the home, the kitchen, offers an ideal setting for everyday life and entertaining alike.

A particular highlight is the addition of the conservatory, which seamlessly extends the living accommodation and creates a wonderful, light-filled space overlooking the garden. Whether used as a second sitting room, dining area or a place to unwind with a morning coffee, it adds both versatility and valuable additional living space to an already generous home.

Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for families, with each room offering a comfortable and practical space to suit a variety of needs, whether that is children’s bedrooms, guest accommodation or a dedicated home office.

Step outside and the feeling changes completely. As the gates close behind you, there’s an immediate sense of calm and privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find. The outside world simply melts away, leaving you with what feels like your own secluded haven. The enclosed gardens provide the perfect setting for entertaining, family time or simply enjoying a peaceful moment in complete seclusion.

Homes that combine deceptive space, genuine privacy and such a versatile layout are few and far between. Offering far more than first meets the eye, this is a property that needs to be experienced in person to fully appreciate everything it has to offer

Seller's Story - I bought Rose Cottage in 1998, so have lived here for 28 years. After seeing so many “standard” houses for sale built from the 1970s onwards, we came across Rose Cottage which instantly aroused some intrigue, curiosity and rustic charm and warmth to us.
Once we were inside, it felt like home immediately. It had a cozy warmth to it, with traditional features but in a modern way. It also gave us so much potential for flexibility with the layout and gave us the space to relax and enjoy a cottage living, within an established village community, and with the convenience of commuting links on our doorstep.

The history of the cottage is intriguing, as it was built around 1900 and was one of only a few at this end of the village at the time. The 2 bungalows (153a and 153b) were built on land that used to belong to the Rose Cottages’ more extensive garden, which at some point in time was sold off for development. The house itself was originally a two up, two down cottage which, over the years has been extended outwards and upwards, making it the spacious 4-bedroom property it is today, but managing to retain its period features (like the fireplaces in the two main bedrooms and the pine flooring) as well as the “cottagey” feel to it.

The kitchen is our favourite room, with its open space, the bay window letting in all-natural light, and the abundance of counter space and cupboards and drawers. The sink was purposely positioned to enable a great outlook whilst cooking and washing up. The kitchen is truly the heart of the house and is always full of conversation and laughter whilst entertaining guests.
Also, the Conservatory for its size, its light and the flow of air via windows and doors when open.

A memorable event would be that my daughter Amber was born in the 2nd largest bedroom on the 1st March 1999 at 01:06am. Labour was very quick, and the midwife told us that she had never helped in such an easy birth.

The spaciousness and openness that the cottage and its garden provide is amongst the things we have enjoyed the most. Also, how secure and secluded you feel once you’re inside the gates. It’s as though you walk into your own world when you come home and close the gates. Visitors for the first time always comment on the size of the property being like a TARDIS, due to it being “side-on” to the road and not understanding just how spacious the garden and cottage is. Both the inside and outdoor space are great for entertaining parties and family barbeques.

We are selling as I retired last year, and (a) we want to downsize and (b) we want to move back to our roots and the places when we first met when we were 18 years old (North Yorkshire).

We will miss the space in the cottage and its traditional features, but also the garden and the flexibility that it has to offer. In the past, we have thought about many changes that the cottage could offer, like increasing the downstairs toilet to include a shower as well and also knocking down the conservatory and building either a one or two story extension, increasing the size of the overall house significantly. But now that we are both retired, and wanting to downsize, although those options are still open to new buyers, we definitely don’t need any extra space!
Although the property doesn’t have a garage, there was apparently planning permission when I bought the cottage (expired now), and the hard standing behind the gate does have an electric cable buried underneath with one end in the house, and the other end at the further end of the driveway (both not connected but could easily be for a garage or even electric car charging.
