Summary
Tucked away amongst the scenic Lickey Hills, 'Cofton Cottage' is a beautiful Victorian residence (formerly a charming tea room) and is steeped in history and timeless appeal. The cottage has been well preserved by the same family since 1949 and whilst the home retains much of its original character, the accommodation is full of untapped potential and offers a fantastic opportunity for those seeking to create their dream home. As well as enjoying a highly private, tiered rear garden, the property also benefits from a unique two-storey workshop to the side. Offered with no onward chain.
Description
The accommodation comprises: Side entrance leading to a two part hall with under stairs storage cupboard, characterful living room with ceiling beams, original quarry tile floor and brick built open fireplace as well as an 'L-shaped' kitchen/dining room with front entrance.
The first floor offers a huge landing space, three excellent sized bedrooms (two with vanity basins) and a bathroom with separate WC.
Outside
The tiered rear garden is a serene, private sanctuary enveloped by adjacent dense woodland. The garden ascends gracefully in layered terraces, each level offering its own unique charm and blending seamlessly into the surrounding trees. At the top, an elaborate garden structure presents a space to sit and admire the view of the house from the back.
A two-storey building to the side of the main house consists of a workshop and storage room above with separate potting shed. This building offers further potential (subject to necessary building regs/planning consents). A useful gardener's WC and driveway for multiple vehicles at the front completes the outside.
Location
Cofton Hackett is an ancient settlement mentioned in historical documents dating back to 780 AD and in the present day provides a wide range of local amenities including an 18 hole golf course, two churches, village hall, easy access to local schools (within catchment for Lickey Hills Primary School) as well as a popular public house 'The Oak Tree' and Sunday lunch at 'The Old Rose and Crown' hotel. Groveley Lane itself is perfectly located for many fine walks within both the renowned 524 Acre Lickey Woods and 135 Acre Cofton Park - once visited by Pope Benedict XVI. The bordering village, Barnt Green, is located approximately 1.4 miles away and offers everyday shopping facilities, doctor's surgery, several dentists, the ever-popular Grade II listed 'Barnt Green Inn' and railway station (direct to Birmingham New Street). There are also many sporting facilities including a renowned sports club (one of the leading racquet clubs in the country), cricket club, sailing and many other clubs and societies. No more than 2 miles away is the recently regenerated Longbridge site (former MG Rover car plant), home to the largest Marks and Spencers in the Midlands. Access to the M42 is just 4 miles away and the M5 around the same distance.
