Seller Insight

14 The Coppice is a superb family home which enjoys a rural location in a quiet cul de sac, in the pretty village of Mancetter. The present owners Keith and Heather explained that they had moved from London to escape the stresses of city life, and to provide their children with a safe and natural environment. At that time, they had not started a family, but 35 years later, their three children now have their own lives. 14 The Coppice and the village have been perfect for the whole family, but Heather says the time has come for them to downsize and move on.

The house has been maintained in good order and regularly decorated throughout. There have been changes and improvements made, including refitting all three bathrooms, fitting high end appliances in the kitchen, installing wooden flooring throughout the ground floor, laying the patio and landscaping the garden.

Although the house is a modern design, internal features create a sense of character and charm, such as the ‘wow’ factor of the huge inglenook fireplace, with open fire, in the lounge. The double aspect in this room creates an inviting and comfortable ambience, and in the summer you can open the French doors to invite the garden in. It has been a favourite place for family relaxation and entertaining friends.

Keith describes the house as being a happy house, and the open plan, well equipped kitchen and dining room has been perfect for the many family events. Everyone can gather together round the table, chat to the cook, and generally appreciate the convivial atmosphere in this very special home.

From May onwards the south facing garden is a riot of colourful and traditional garden flowers, whilst the vegetable patch provides raspberries and an array of fresh organic vegetables from May to October. The apple tree, that the family planted many years ago, is now a beautiful feature and makes a cool and shady place to settle on a hot summer day. The enchantment of the garden is increased by the fields to the rear and side of the property. Curious cows peering over the hedge, plentiful birdlife and idyllic views across the countryside and to the church make a beautiful setting. Historically interesting, these fields were where Queen Boadicea fought her final battle against the Romans.

Mancetter is a friendly village and only two miles from the market town of Atherstone, with its shops and good schools: the outstanding Twycross House private school is only a ten minute drive away. Atherstone has a good train service into London, Euston. Mancetter has miles of pathways to explore, and The Coventry Canal provides gentle and pretty strolls. Keith and Heather are going to miss this country setting which gave their children a wonderful childhood, and the house which gave them an equally wonderful family life. They hope that the next owners will love it as much as they have.”*
