Set in the conservation area of Old Town Kenilworth, this sympathetically renovated 18th‑century thatched cottage blends original charm with contemporary comforts. Exposed beams, latched doors and inglenook fireplaces sit alongside a bespoke shaker kitchen, integrated SMEG appliances and underfloor heating to principal ground‑floor rooms. South‑easterly landscaped gardens back onto Abbey Fields lake and nature reserve, with a summerhouse and decked entertaining area that take full advantage of the views.
The flexible ground‑floor layout includes a dual‑aspect kitchen/dining room, a drawing room with an inglenook and a versatile ground‑floor double bedroom that could serve as a guest suite, snug or home office. Two generous first‑floor bedrooms have bespoke fitted wardrobes and outlooks across the garden and to Kenilworth Castle; the principal also adjoins a storage room and a spacious bathroom with a large spa bath.
Practical conveniences are well provided for: a single garage with electric roller door, two resident parking permits plus visitor pass, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband. The house is freehold, newly renovated, and benefits from modern heating (boiler and radiators) with underfloor heating to key ground‑floor spaces.
Buyers should note the property’s age and construction: thatched roofing and traditional solid brick walls need ongoing specialist maintenance and may affect insurance and retrofit options. Windows were double glazed before 2002 and walls are likely uninsulated, which may affect running costs despite recent upgrades. Council tax is high. For those seeking a character home in a very affluent, well‑connected town, this cottage offers rare position and delightful outdoor space but comes with period‑property considerations.
