We Love

This home is steeped in local history and offers much in the way of potential for upgrading and modernising. The Victorian red-brick construction with a large pitched roof and big windows is a nod to its past. The potential to turn this modest cottage into a great family home is a unique opportunity.

The Area

The home is situated directly opposite Southam Primary School and just a short walk from the nearby secondary school, Southam College.
