Off the hall, a large open-plan breakfast kitchen features an original bread oven, AGA cooker, granite worktops and a central island offers plenty of space for dining and socialising with patio doors on two sides opening out onto the terrace making this the perfect space for entertaining and spending time together. A separate utility and boot-room with Belfast sink leads off the kitchen, and across the hallway is the downstairs W/C with wash hand basin.

First floor

The first-floor landing leads to four double bedrooms all with en-suites and two with Juliet balconies overlooking the garden.

Outside

A generously sized garden at both the front and rear of the property offers plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors with a large terrace leading onto the lawn at the back. The garden is well stocked with mature shrubs and trees, a vegetable plot and hen house. There is a separate play area, a restored Victorian pig pen and even a doggy shower! The property also benefits from an oak framed double garage with storage above and a large driveway with parking for several vehicles.

SELLER INSIGHT

We had lived in Beausale for 30 years or so and we were keen to stay local but we wanted a property with some land, so Quince Cottage was very appealing as it is still within this friendly little village in a quiet and peaceful setting with the most stunning views that have to be seen to be believed,” says the owner.

“Tucked away behind a veil of brambles, we knew that it would require a full renovation but we were excited by the potential. We knocked everything down and had only 3 walls standing with no roof or anything at one point!

We’ve restored it back to its original character, so the front now looks like a pretty Victorian cottage and the back has a modern twist with French windows and a Juliet balcony. It’s the perfect blend of old and new.”

“Beausale is a wonderful place to live and we have the most amazing neighbours who are such good friends. Surrounded by beautiful countryside, there are many footpaths and bridleways to explore and it’s a fantastic place for dog walking. There are some lovely pubs within walking distance and we enjoy easy access to a good range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities in the local area.”

“The views are just stunning and we can see right over to Kenilworth Castle and all the way across to Rugby. The large garden is made for relaxing and entertaining as it’s peaceful and quiet with a huge patio area. We’ve celebrated a family wedding reception here along with 150 guests and we also host an annual firework display with our neighbours. It’s a brilliant space for children as there’s plenty of room to run around, along with a tree house and play equipment to the front of the property. The previous owners planted a range of beautiful specimen trees and we feel so lucky to have these rare varieties right here in our garden, as well as a stunning magnolia.”

“I tend to spend most of my time in the kitchen as it’s a fabulous room for cooking, dining, and relaxing. The central island is a busy space where our grandchildren paint and do schoolwork, so it’s a homely and welcoming room for everyone to enjoy. To be fair, every room is lovely and it’s hard to choose just one favourite, so I must also mention the recently renovated bathroom as I could lie in the bath in there forever!” *
