Gardener's Cottage – A Unique Renovation Opportunity in the Heart of Coleshill

Gardener's Cottage, nestled to the rear of Coleshill House on the High Street, and accessed via a charming courtyard parking area, presents a rare opportunity for those looking to create a bespoke home in a prime location. Ready for renovation, this brick-built cottage offers immense potential and is being sold with an active planning consent (subject to conditions) granted by North Warwickshire Council on 7 June 2023. Application Ref: PAP/2023/0065. 

The approved plans envisage the conversion of Gardener’s Cottage into a two-bedroom, one-bathroom single-storey dwelling with an open-plan kitchen/dining area, perfect for modern living. The property’s charming layout will offer a cosy yet spacious environment, ideal for a small family, couple, or as a serene retreat.

Beyond the potential of the property itself, the private gardens are a standout feature, offering both side and rear outdoor spaces that already benefit from established planting, creating a tranquil and secluded setting. The garden provides an excellent space for outdoor living, entertaining, or simply relaxing in a peaceful environment.

Gardener's Cottage also benefits from its own private gated driveway and access to a dedicated parking area, ensuring both convenience and privacy. As part of the wider Coleshill House grounds, it offers a unique blend of quiet seclusion while being just moments from Coleshill High Street’s shops and amenities.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with a vision to restore and transform a characterful cottage into a beautiful home. Whether you wish to follow the current planning consent or explore your own ideas, Gardener’s Cottage promises to be a wonderful project with significant potential.
