About this property

No onward chain.

Lake View Cottage is a captivating Grade II Listed home forming part of Little Virginia, a distinctive collection of historic timber-framed and thatched cottages on Castle Hill. Believed to date from around 1713, the property has been carefully maintained and improved while retaining the irregular lines, exposed timbers, and intimate character that make these cottages so special. Extending to approximately 1,364 sq. ft, the accommodation is surprisingly versatile, with a generous drawing room, bespoke kitchen/breakfast room, a sitting room that could be used as a double bedroom with a shower room on the ground floor, and two further bedrooms with a bathroom above. Its position is exceptional; Abbey Fields extends to 68 acres nearby, while protected open land immediately behind the cottage creates a wonderfully green and peaceful outlook within easy reach of central Kenilworth.
