Seller Insight Spring Cottage, in the family for over 65 years, will be sorely missed by the current owners. A wonderful family property, with many memories made, “My granddad was a butcher and raised pigs on the farm, there were also plenty of chickens and I remember collecting the eggs for breakfast as a child. I hope it can go back to being a small holding once again.” Community is the key word at Spring Cottage. Set in the small village of Corley in a beautiful corner of North Warwickshire, only eight miles from the bustling city of Coventry and adjacent to the pretty village of Fillongley. “It’s a very nice, close knit community, there are several welcoming pubs that serve delicious food and are very family orientated. The community really looks after each other, it’s what you’d imagine Old England to be.” The major selling point of the home is the 3.5 acres of land that surround it, “the grounds are the best feature of the property, when you go outdoors and look out over panoramic views with the horses at the bottom, it’s so peaceful.” “We wish we could keep the house in the family, but we hope the next owners will make as many wonderful memories as we have.”
Outside there are three and a half acres of land. On the land there is the three bedroom cottage and there is also a large outbuilding with access from the road.
COVENTRY The 10th largest city in England, Coventry was the capital of England more than once in the 15th century and it’s heritage includes the Roman Fort at Baginton, Lady Godiva, St Mary’s Guildhall (where kings and queens were entertained) and three Cathedrals. Coventry is situated 95 miles from central London, 19 miles from Birmingham, and 24 miles from Leicester. Coventry was the world’s first twin city, when it formed a twinning relationship with the Russian city of Stalingrad and is now twinned with 26 cities around the world. Coventry Cathedral is one of the city’s key attractions having been built after the destruction of the 14th century Cathedral church of Saint Michael during the infamous Coventry Blitz during WWII . Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry. The city has two Universities, the city centre-based Coventry University and The University of Warwick on the southern outskirts.
BIRMINGHAM Lying at the seat of England’s Industrial and commercial heartland, the “Second City� is the very model of a beaming cosmopolitan global city that sets the standard for others to mirror. Increasingly recognised as an important cultural hub with the Birmingham Royal Ballet based in the city, along with a magnificent and striking new library. Birmingham also boasts some of the best shopping in Europe with the superb Bullring Shopping Centre containing over 140 shops including a flagship Selfridges department store. The exclusive Mailbox development is host to a range of designer stores including Armani and Harvey Nichols.
WARWICKSHIRE Positioned in the heart of England the county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands County in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves. Warwickshire hosts several key towns including Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Kenilworth, Henley In Arden and Rugby to name a few. The northern tip of the county is only three miles from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 60 miles north to south. Equivalently it extends as far north as Shrewsbury in Shropshire and as far south as Banbury in north Oxfordshire.
