Beehive Cottage is a charming 17th-century Grade II-listed thatch cottage set on a large, secluded plot in the conservation village of Berkswell. Recently renovated, the house blends period character — exposed beams, timber framing and a thatched roof — with practical updates such as insulated garden office and fast fibre broadband. The layout is traditional and cosy, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms arranged over approximately 1,066 sq ft.
The living spaces are characterful but intimate: low ceilings and smaller room proportions are true to the cottage’s age, and the principal reception room centres on a substantial fireplace and oak chamfered beam. The kitchen and dining nook are bespoke, space-efficient joinery from a specialist cabinet-maker; some fitted items and larger appliances (Rayburn and Clearview wood burner) are not included but are available by negotiation. There is convenient off-street parking for several cars and a separate garage/utility outbuilding.
Outside, the landscaped garden provides sheltered seating areas, fruit trees, raised vegetable beds and a polytunnel; dense shrub borders afford privacy. The insulated garden office with electricity and high-speed fibre is well suited for regular home working. Berkswell village offers a strong community, good primary schooling and footpath access to Berkswell station with fast rail links to Birmingham and London.
Important considerations: the Grade II listing means any alterations will require listed-building consent and may restrict changes. Room sizes and ceiling heights are modest, and a small cottage footprint may feel compact for some buyers. Council Tax Band D applies. Overall this property will suit buyers seeking a restored period cottage with modern conveniences, substantial garden space and excellent village location rather than those wanting large, open-plan interiors or unrestricted remodelling.
