About
Open house Saturday - call to book your place - starting bid £600,000. An attractive and deceptively spacious village home, discreetly positioned in a tucked-away setting in Birdingbury.
Offering over 2,000 sq ft of versatile space and standing within a generous plot of around a quarter of an acre, the property combines character, space and flexibility, with the added benefit of no onward chain.
The accommodation is particularly well suited to family life.
On the first floor are three double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a useful study/home office, while the ground floor provides a substantial sitting room with log burner, conservatory, formal dining room, kitchen/breakfast room and utility room.
A further ground-floor double bedroom, together with an adjoining shower room, provides excellent flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
Outside, Pear Tree Cottage enjoys established gardens to the front, side and rear, a generous gravelled driveway providing ample off-road parking and useful brick-built outbuildings.
The property also benefits from gas-fired central heating and has current planning permission for the construction of a detached garage.
Ground Floor An entrance porch opens into a welcoming reception hallway, where period-style latched American white oak doors lead to the principal reception rooms.
The spacious sitting room is an inviting focal point of the house, featuring period-style double-glazed windows and an attractive log burner set within an exposed brick chimney breast.
From here, the accommodation flows naturally into the generous conservatory, which enjoys views across the garden and provides direct access onto the rear patio.
The formal dining room overlooks the front of the property and leads through to an inner lobby.
From here there is access to a convenient ground-floor double bedroom and an adjoining shower room, creating an ideal guest suite or flexible bedroom arrangement.
The kitchen/breakfast room also enjoys views to the front and is fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted units, complemented by an oil-fired Aga.
A rear porch provides access to the garden, while a stable door leads into the practical utility room, which has plumbing for a washing machine and houses the gas-fired central heating boiler.
A further door opens onto the side garden.
First Floor The first-floor landing features matching latched American white oak doors leading to three well-proportioned double bedrooms, the family bathroom and study.
Bedroom one enjoys a dual aspect with views to both the front and rear, creating a bright and airy principal bedroom.
Bedroom two also benefits from a dual aspect overlooking the front and side gardens, while the third double bedroom enjoys views across the front garden.
The family bathroom is fitted with a Jacuzzi-style bath, wash hand basin and low-level WC. A particularly useful additional room provides an excellent home office or study.
With an attic-style character, conservation roof window and dormer providing plenty of natural light, it offers an appealing and private space for those working from home.
Outside Pear Tree Cottage occupies an enviable plot extending to approximately 0.25 acres, with gardens wrapping around the front, side and rear of the house.
Predominantly laid to lawn, the grounds provide plenty of space for outdoor entertaining, recreation and gardening.
A large paved patio is positioned immediately to the rear of the house and conservatory, creating an excellent area for alfresco dining and entertaining.
The generous gravelled driveway provides ample off-road parking and there are two useful brick-built outbuildings.
The larger outbuilding benefits from light, power and a TV aerial, together with a boarded loft accessed via a ladder, providing valuable additional storage.
A further brick-built potting shed is positioned within the rear garden.
Planning Permission Pear Tree Cottage had planning permission for the construction of a detached garage, offering an excellent opportunity to further enhance the property.
The planning elapsed in June 2026 so will need reinstating for someone who wanted to progress the project.
Full details can be found via the Rugby Borough Council planning portal under reference R21/0347.
An electrical supply has already been installed in readiness for the proposed garage, together with the main gate posts.
