House For Sale £415,000
A superb, detached, Grade II listed cottage with two double bedrooms and parking, built in the 17th Century, set within a conservation area in the heart of this popular village with sought-after primary school. Leek Wootton is located just a few minutes drive away from Kenilworth, Warwick & Leamington Spa. This traditional cottage has charming, period features that combine character with modern day living as the sellers have modernised the cottage to compliment the historic style. Viewing is highly recommended.
Forge Cottage - This super cottage provides everything anyone could wish for if they are seeking a classic, period home. The cottage was built in the 1600's, is Grade II listed and is on the site of the original old forge which is said to date as far back as the 14th century, although there are no remains of this now. The construction is of sandstone, from the original local quarry, as well as original timbers. The thatched roof was replaced in 2015 and includes a fire-proof membrane. The thatched roof is made from water reed, considered to be the most durable type of thatching as it is light in weight but high in strength and usually has a life expectancy of up to 60 years. The cottage has all mains services connected, including a high-speed ADSL fibre optic internet connection. The owners have modernised the cottage whilst retaining its' original features, with a new Vaillant gas boiler fitted in 2022 that is hydrogen ready, a modern kitchen and re-fitted bathroom, a gas log burner in the sandstone inglenook fireplace, a pretty, landscaped courtyard garden as well as an additional summerhouse/garden room/office/den. This is a very pretty 'picture postcard' black and white half-timbered cottage that will only truly be appreciated by viewing.
Leek Wootton - This is a thriving village within a short distance of Kenilworth, Leamington Spa and Warwick, all of which have excellent train and motorway links with easy access from the village to the A46 and then onto the M40 for commuters. A further advantage is the village's convenience for Birmingham Airport which is 13.5 miles away. The village amenities include a popular gastro pub with garden to the rear, which is just across the road from the cottage, a village hall, a sports and social club, a village church, a sought-after primary school and the Warwickshire Golf and Country Club which offers a café, restaurant, swimming pool and gym and a wide range of exercise classes. There are also many village events that take place here throughout the year.
