Rectory Cottage, Church Lane, Lapworth, Solihull, B94

Character and Charm Amidst Beautiful Gardens with Stunning Views in a Premier Postcode

Nestled in the picturesque village of Lapworth, this delightful detached cottage is set within just under an acre of stunning gardens and grounds, offering breathtaking views over the rolling Warwickshire countryside.

For those who stand taller, fear not-our valuer, David, who stands at 6ft 2", assures you that the ceiling heights in this charming home are no issue, a rare find given the cottage's age and the presence of exposed wooden beams throughout.

Recent improvements have been made, including the installation of Heritage double-glazed windows, refurbished log burners, and beautifully maintained gardens. A standout feature is the versatile home office/hobbies room, which we'll revisit shortly.

Additionally, the owners have obtained valuable planning permission for this Grade II listed property. The approved plans allow for a spacious, open-plan dining kitchen with bi-fold doors leading to the garden, a vaulted ceiling, a utility room, and a flexible ground-floor bedroom with a washroom. The first floor would also be enhanced with the addition of an en suite shower room.

The true highlight of the ground floor is undoubtedly the triple-aspect lounge. With its stunning views of the garden, exposed beams, log burner, and large doors opening to the outside, this room is ideal for family gatherings or social events. It offers plenty of space for ample furnishings, making it a perfect hub for relaxation and entertainment.

The adjoining dining room features a striking inglenook fireplace with an inset log burner and flows seamlessly into a well-equipped kitchen with a pantry, utility room, and a boot room with a guest washroom.

The vestibule provides access to both the front and rear of the property, as well as direct entry to the large garage, two storage cupboards, and a gardener's WC. It also houses the recently serviced oil-fired boiler.

On the first floor, you'll find three generously sized double bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes. One of the bedrooms also has access to a convenient box room or additional storage space.

The family bathroom is spacious and includes a separate WC.
Outside, there is plenty of forecourt parking behind electric gates, along with two versatile outbuildings that would be ideal for use as a home office, gym, or games room.

The property is ideally located with two of the National Trust's most visited properties, Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House, right on the doorstep. Solihull, Warwick, Stratford-upon-Avon, and Birmingham International Airport are all just a 20-minute drive away.

The local pub, The Boot, is renowned for its excellent food and drink, and the nearby village shop caters to everyday essentials, with Hockley Heath's amenities also within easy reach. Access to the M40 and M42 motorways is conveniently close.
