Please contact Claire and Sam to book an allocated viewing slot.

Nutshell Cottage is a beautiful period property that has undergone a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, thoughtfully balancing modern comforts with retained character. The works include new double glazing, a full rewire, a modern electric flow heating/hot water system, and stylish re-fitted interiors, all while preserving exposed beams, fireplaces, and the cottage’s delightful charm.

The accommodation on the ground floor features a spacious kitchen/dining room with Belfast sink, integrated appliances, and ample room for entertaining, alongside a useful utility room. A generous lounge with feature fireplace provides a welcoming space, complemented by a versatile study (occasional third bedroom) - ideal for home working.

Upstairs, the first floor hosts two double bedrooms, including an unusually large principal bedroom with fireplace, and a beautifully appointed bathroom complete with a roll-top clawfoot bath.

Outside, the property enjoys a pretty gated front patio enclosed by picket fencing, offering a private and charming welcome.

Set in a quiet corner of the sought-after village of Barby - just 5 miles south of Rugby and 7 miles north of Daventry - the cottage benefits from local amenities including a primary school, village hall, church, public house, shop and post office, orchards, garden centre, woodlands, tennis courts and cricket club along with a strong community spirit.

A rare find, Nutshell Cottage combines character, comfort, and convenience, making early viewing highly recommended.
