A Grade II listed cottage tucked into a secluded courtyard, right in Alcester town centre. The house delivers abundant period character — exposed timbers, a full-depth sitting room with an inglenook fireplace and dormer windows — while remaining conveniently close to independent shops, cafés and transport links.
The layout suits a family or buyers wanting a character home: breakfast kitchen, snug/dining room, principal bedroom with ensuite plus two further double bedrooms. Practical extras include off-street parking for two vehicles, a courtyard garden and reasonably generous overall room sizes within an average total of about 1,047 sq ft.
Important practical points are clear: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or extensions. The site is in a high flood-risk area, so flood mitigation and insurance costs are likely considerations. Listed status plus the age/finish of some elements means buyers should allow budget for specialist repairs and maintenance.
On balance, this is a rare town-centre character cottage for buyers who prioritise heritage, charm and location over the ability to carry out unrestricted remodelling. It will particularly appeal to families wanting local schools and amenities, or purchasers seeking a distinctive principal residence with parking and a private courtyard.
