A charming black and white Grade II listed cottage, Yeomans Cottage is nestled in the highly desirable village of Tanworth-in-Arden. Believed to date back to the early 1600s, this picturesque home is steeped in history and brimming with character, featuring magnificent inglenook fireplaces, original paperwork and deeds spanning centuries, and a wealth of exposed timber beams - remarkably, these beams were most likely just saplings before William Shakespeare was even born in 1564.
Originally part of a larger farm, Yeomans Cottage retains a unique and favourable restrictive covenant on its former land, ensuring that the breathtaking, uninterrupted views across the Warwickshire countryside are preserved for generations to come. The property occupies a generous plot, set within idyllic surroundings, and boasts a large wrap-around garden, detached double garage, and eco-friendly credentials including two wildflower meadows, a wildlife pond, compost area, vegetable plot, and two electric car charging points.
Enjoy the tranquillity of rural living with stunning panoramic views, all while being part of a vibrant and historic village community.
Tanworth-in-Arden is a charming village with an active local community and provides such facilities as The Bell (pub and restaurant), highly regarded primary school with nursery, 13th Century parish church, village hall, and golf and tennis clubs.
