Homes in Bedworth
Bedworth is a former mining town between Coventry and Nuneaton. Its older housing includes Victorian and Edwardian terraces built for miners and ribbon weavers, and the Nicholas Chamberlaine almshouses are a notable historic building in the centre. The town's centre retains a market and some older buildings, but much was rebuilt in the twentieth century.
Inter-war and post-war council estates and private housing fill much of the town, with newer developments on its edges. Bulkington and Exhall are former villages with older cores. Bedworth sits on the Warwickshire coalfield, and collieries such as Newdigate and Exhall shaped the town. Mining legacy and the condition of older homes are the main survey considerations, and the town is popular with buyers seeking value close to Coventry. Many of the post-war homes have been altered or extended.
Areas we cover include Exhall, Bulkington, Collycroft, Goodyers End, Mount Pleasant.
