5 bed detached house for sale

The Vicarage, Craven Street, Chapelfields, Coventry CV5

Suzanne Regan and the team are delighted to bring to the market this truly exceptional and character-rich five bedroom detached home, a rare and remarkable residence steeped in history yet upgraded to a superb modern standard throughout.

Originally built in the early 1900s as part of the vicarage for St Mary Magdalene Church (affectionately known locally as “the blue-roofed church”), this home boasts a fascinating heritage and unique presence. Situated in a historic part of Chapelfields, once a thriving watchmaking trade area centred around Craven Street, the property offers a depth of character and story rarely found in today’s market.

Set back from the road and occupying a generous plot, the accommodation is impressively spacious and versatile, ideal for modern family living.

A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a convenient guest WC, before opening into a beautifully presented front reception room featuring a bay window - perfect for formal living or relaxing with family.

At the heart of the home is a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, created by opening and extending the original layout. This contemporary area is ideal for everyday family life and entertaining, benefiting from a useful utility area, side access, and patio doors opening directly onto the rear garden.

Also located on the ground floor is a fifth bedroom, offering excellent flexibility for guests, multi-generational living, or use as a home office.

The first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms along with a stylish and modern family bathroom. In addition, there is an attic room which is currently used as a bedroom; however, as it does not have a door, the property is sensibly marketed as a five bedroom home.

Externally, the rear garden offers a private and enclosed outdoor space with a patio area, ideal for relaxing and entertaining. A garden room has also been thoughtfully added, providing a superb option for a home office, gym or studio, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.

The location is exceptionally convenient. Allesley Old Road and Hearsall Lane offer excellent bus routes into Coventry city centre and direct access to Warwick University, while Hearsall Common is just a short walk away, providing beautiful open green space. Earlsdon High Street is also within walking distance, offering a vibrant selection of cafes, bars, restaurants and independent shops.

Set within a historic and much-loved neighbourhood, this home is a true one-off, combining period charm with contemporary living. Early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate the space, history and lifestyle this unique property has to offer.
