Summary - 14 RECREATION ROAD COVENTRY CV6 7AW
3 bed 1 bath Terraced
Character cottage with large garden and parking for first-time buyers.
Three bedrooms in a period terraced cottage
A characterful three-bedroom period terrace in Coventry’s Longford area, this freehold cottage blends original features with practical outdoor space. Exposed rustic beams and timber detailing give the principal rooms charm and character, while the sizable rear garden, shed and outbuildings provide useful storage and scope for outdoor living or extension (subject to planning).
Internally the layout is straightforward: cosy living room, dining room, kitchen, downstairs WC, three upstairs bedrooms and a shower room. The property is compact rather than generous, with modest room proportions across its 883 sq ft footprint, making it well suited to first-time buyers or young families who value period character and outside space over expansive interiors.
Buyers should be aware of several material points. The building is solid-brick and likely lacks cavity insulation; heating is by mains gas and room heaters rather than modern central heating. The area is classified as very deprived with a high local crime level, which may affect resale or rental desirability. The house would benefit from updating and energy-efficiency improvements to modern standards.
Practical positives include freehold tenure, off-street parking for one vehicle, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. Council tax is very low, and the property could generate rental income (estimated at around £1,000 pcm) if purchased by an investor, but any decision should factor local area challenges and likely refurbishment costs.
