4 Bed Semi-Detached House, Coventry Road, CV7

Nestled in the heart of Fillongley, a quaint village set within North Warwickshire, The Post Office Cottage, has had many 'lives'. Previously a blacksmith's. Then a pub called the Three Horse Shoes. A village store and newsagents run by Mr & Mrs Foster up to about 1960. It then became a hairdressers in the back room and Post Office in the front from approx 1980, run by Peter for about 20 years. Most recently 'Hewitts' Toy Shop and post office.

After having undergone extensive refurbishments to allow it to sit proudly and broadly in its current form, today it boasts gas central heating throughout with eco friendly state of the art boiler combi boiler system, it enjoys energy efficient glazing with Georgian bars as a nod to its heritage and impressively commands a C rating on its EPC. Whilst the current owners have been careful not to disturb the aesthetic of the conservation area located building, they’ve intentionally future proofed it for perhaps the next foreseeable century.

Upon entry, the porch could be forgiven for a reception room. Large and square in size with a chaise lounge for those who wish to take a moment whilst changing shoes.

The live in lounge has light grey oak style flooring with exposed beams and a marvellous coal fired fireplace.

The kitchen has been fitted with shaker style units and a Rangemaster dual fuel cooker with five hobs.

The dining area houses an American style double door fridge which is flanked by two full height larder units. The rustic timber slabbed oval dining table seats four comfortably.

Formal lounge. There is a larger formal lounge to the east of the building which enjoys two bay windows and exposed beam ceiling with decorative led lighting, this leads into the utility room which has a workspace and washing machine fittings.

To the rear of the building, on the ground floor there is a potential bedroom / study with adjoining WC and access to the courtyard.

Courtyard.

Paved and private with access to church lane via timber gate.

The first floor, newly carpeted, hosts four bedrooms three of them being double bedrooms and a further second floor which could owe to multiple uses. 

The master bathroom is one of several focal points of this magnificent property. Large format veined tiles, adorn the floor and walls, there’s a modern shower enclosure and a freestanding bath with crows feet, a freestanding swan necked tap is commissioned to supply the water to the said bath, the monochrome harmony compliments the character of this building very well.
