House For Sale £385,000
Allsopp and Allsopp are thrilled to present this charming character cottage located within the highly sought after hamlet of Backdown. Something of a local landmark, this artisans cottage boasts two double bedrooms, a large farmhouse style kitchen, comfortable sitting room with carved stone open fireplace, a garden room, courtyard garden and off-street parking amongst a plethora of character features, handmade sculptures and bespoke carpentry.
The cottage itself is a former victorian artisans cottage, originally constructed to house the artisans working at Blackdown Mill which is but a few moments’ walk away. Nearby you will find within easy walking distance from the property a number of countryside walks and Blackdown itself is perfectly situation to allow for easy access to both Leamington and Warwick town centres, Kenilworth and importantly the M40 motor and adjoining network.
The character on offer is unlike any other property currently on the market. The property should be viewed promptly to avoid disappointment.
