Magpie Cottage is a spacious Grade II listed 16th-century detached cottage offering generous family accommodation across approximately 2,428 sq ft. The house retains a wealth of original timber framing, exposed beams and a rustic brick fireplace, while having been sympathetically updated to provide a functional kitchen-diner, three reception rooms, study, utility and four double bedrooms. The property sits well back on a c.0.3 acre plot with mature gardens and a patio with an outdoor kitchen — an appealing blend of period character and outdoor entertaining space.
Its semi-rural setting delivers uninterrupted countryside views and direct access to scenic walks, yet is within easy reach of Hampton-in-Arden amenities, Solihull and good transport links. The detached double garage (with power) and private gated driveway provide ample parking for multiple vehicles. The house’s size and layout will suit families wanting characterful living space with separate reception zones and work-from-home options.
There are important practical considerations. The property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernisation. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and drainage is via a cesspit; interested buyers should allow for ongoing running costs and potential future replacement works. The home currently offers one family bathroom only and council tax is described as quite expensive. A medium flood risk is recorded for the area — buyers should carry out their own enquiries.
Overall, this is a substantial historic cottage for purchasers who value authenticity, mature gardens and countryside privacy, and who are comfortable with the responsibilities and constraints of listed ownership. Its size, plot and location also give scope for careful improvement within listing rules to tailor the home to modern family living.
