Built in 1824 at the dawn of Penkhull’s transformation into a thriving residential suburb, Canada Cottage is one of just three original dwellings constructed during the height of the flourishing pottery industry. First occupied by a local miller and brewer, this remarkable property predates the very road it stands on by more than half a century.
Overflowing with character and charm, Canada Cottage is a rare example of living history. In a time before mains water, the home was ingeniously self-sufficient, complete with its own private water well, which still exists today. Unearthed during a modern extension, the well has been lovingly restored by the current owner, who has maintained the home's authenticity through original Period-style doors and exposed beams.
Inside, the home offers generous and thoughtfully designed living spaces across two floors. On the ground floor, a welcoming porch with a composite door leads into the entrance hall, where you will find a convenient cloakroom. The lounge boasts a bay window to the front aspect, and an open fireplace, creating a cosy, character-filled space. A second sitting room also features an open fireplace only further adding to the property’s charm.
To the rear, a stunning open-plan area incorporates a spacious dining room, a wood burner fireplace, with the adjoining kitchen featuring a centre island, a double built in cooker and an integrated dishwasher. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen is a bright family room with a sky lantern, and the spectacular glass-topped well set into the floor – a true centrepiece that blends past and present.
Additional ground floor accommodation includes a practical laundry room. The fourth bedroom, also located on the ground floor, offers flexibility as a guest room, home office, or additional family space.
Upstairs, there are three further enormously sized bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for the whole family. The beautifully appointed family bathroom features vintage fittings plus a roll top bath and separate shower, evoking the timeless charm that runs throughout the home.
Externally, Canada Cottage continues to impress. The vast front garden has gated access with a huge pebbled driveway, two lawns and gated access to the side garden. The side garden is thoughtfully designed with an artificial lawn and a patio area featuring a charming summerhouse – perfect for entertaining or relaxing. A detached double garage with two electric roller doors, power, and lighting, completes the property, offering excellent storage or workshop potential.
Canada Cottage offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a truly unique home that celebrates its heritage while providing modern family living. Full of personality and meticulously maintained, this property is not just a place to live – it’s a place to experience. This isn’t just a home, it’s a tangible piece of Penkhull’s legacy. A truly unique opportunity to own, preserve, and live within history itself.
