NEWS The Biggest of Weekends On 11-13 July, Fine & Country held five events to celebrate the growth of the brand as the Fine & Country Big Weekend.

As weekends go, it doesn’t get much bigger than this.

The weekend started with the International Conference at the Millennium Hotel, Mayfair. Over 150 licensees from across the world attended seminars and workshops covering a range of topics including training and the latest developments within the network.

Next up was the 1920’s Gala Dinner and Charity Auction, where Malcolm Lindley, Managing Director of Fine & Country, launched The Fine & Country Foundation. The foundation will support and raise awareness of the causes of homelessness, a social issue Fine & Country is passionate about. The auction and some generous donations raised an admirable £40,500.

NEWS EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The next day saw the official launch of Fine & Country Golf, the new division run in partnership with European Tour Properties and Troon Golf. Another launch filled the evening with one of Fine & Country’s most impressive offices starting up: Fine & Country Fulham.

The Big Weekend was rounded off with the much-anticipated Fine & Country Warwickshire Gold Cup, with thousands of guests attending to sip, sup and watch the high profile polo match.

Polo Victors With over 4,300 registered guests, the 2014 Fine & Country Warwickshire Gold Cup was a huge success. Guests from across the globe, including South Africa, France, Spain and Russia, as well as people from the local area and throughout the UK, travelled to Dallas Burston Polo Club to watch the high-profile polo match.

At the end of the day, the Dawson Group Marauders claimed the winning title against Quicksilver to take home the coveted Fine & Country Warwickshire Gold Cup. Last year’s winners C.A.N.I came in fourth place. “The Fine & Country Warwickshire Gold Cup Polo event was a great day, made even better by the fact that we managed to win the Cup. I’m very proud of our team because this tournament is well known for being a prestigious one to win,” said Freya Dawson from Dawson Group Marauders.

As well as spectating, guests enjoyed a range of activities including helicopter rides, archery, shooting and obstacle courses, not to mention the outstanding food and beverages on offer.

Teeing Off Earlier this year, Fine & Country entered into an exciting partnership with European Tour Properties and Troon Golf to create a new web-based golf division that boasts an exclusive portfolio of elite developments around the globe. Fine & Country Golf is now in full swing.

The launch of Fine & Country Golf as part of the Big Weekend saw representatives from each golf venue showcase an elite portfolio of properties to potential buyers and the Fine & Country network. Six European Tour Properties and Troon Golf developments were showcased at the launch; Quinta da Lago, Linna Golf, Jumeirah Golf Estates, PGA Catalunya, EGCC and Las Colinas and over 100 people attended including Fine & Country agents from South Africa, Cyprus, France, Portugal, Spain, Russia, UAE, and the UK. Fine & Country agents can now access this portfolio of golf properties.

The new golf website golf.fineandcountry.com will be launched shortly.

Laying the Foundations Malcolm Lindley, Managing Director of Fine & Country, launched the Fine & Country Foundation on 11 July and to date £40,500 has been raised. The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness.

In 2013, the government estimated around 2,414 people sleep rough on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over the previous three years. Whilst many think that the reasons for homelessness arise from drug use and alcoholism, people generally become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons such as family breakdown, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness is not only about putting a roof over people’s heads, but also involves trying so tackle the reasons they became homeless in the first place.

Global Reach As prime property buyers come from all corners of the world, it is important for your property to receive global online exposure.

For this reason, Fine & Country now presents all properties on 65 property search websites across 3o countries and 5 continents.

NEWS EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents to raise awareness and support homeless charities. The lofty goal for its first year is £1,000,000.

SCOTTISH TRANQUILLITY THE SCOTTISH COUNTRYSIDE CAN BE A PLACE OF WONDER. GISELLE WHITEAKER WALKS THROUGH A LOVELY RURAL PROPERTY WITH EASY ACCESS TO THE CITY.

A

few miles east of the historic Royal Burgh of Linlithgow, half an hour or so from central Edinburgh, is the village of Philpstoun. The village originated in the oil shale mining boom in the 19th Century and is endowed with rich arable farmland.

Nearby Linlithgow has an excellent selection of local shops and there is a variety of outdoor leisure facilities nearby including Blackness Castle and the beach, Beecraigs Country Park, Muiravonside Country Park, water sports and pleasure boat trips on the Firth of Forth, the Union Canal for cycling and canoeing, hill walking, golf, and a dry ski slope at Polmont.

In these surrounds sits an exceptional detached Victorian fivebedroom house with lovely gardens, a stable, paddocks, a coach house currently used as a double garage incorporating a stable, tack room, workshop and storage, and a number of additional outbuildings. This elegant property, Pardovan House, dates from around 1850. The home is set within substantial grounds – approximately 1.4 acres – which include a sweeping driveway that leads to the gorgeous expanse of garden, a large paddock, an orchard, and a kitchen garden, just waiting for a home cook to provide for.

The property is located in a wonderfully tranquil and rural setting with an open outlook across fields and countryside, and yet conveniently close to excellent transport networks for easy commuting within central Scotland and further afield.

The property is superbly presented, refurbished to an exacting standard by the current owners, whilst retaining many period features such as wood floors and cornicing. The house is entered through a solid timber door into a vestibule with a traditional tiled floor. A further part-glazed internal door leads to a hall with a wooden floor and doors off to the principal reception rooms, and a sizeable under-stairs storage cupboard.

A stunning drawing room of generous proportions is situated near the front with triple windows facing west, overlooking the garden and countryside beyond. These windows capture the afternoon and evening sun, leaving the drawing room bathed in a golden glow. A further window facing south adds to this bright and welcoming entertaining space. Picture a fire crackling in the traditional fireplace, warming a winter’s night and complementing the delightful ambience of the room.

PROPERTY FEATURE EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Adjacent to the drawing room is an elegant, bright and spacious dining room with two double windows facing south, two recessed arched alcoves, and another open fireplace with a traditional fire surround. Across the hall is a comfortable snug with a double window to the front overlooking that stunning garden, the views stretching across the countryside. Ensuring warmth, a third traditional fire surround with open fire, is found here.

A door leads from the snug to the billiard room, perfect for family entertainment and this leads through to the rear hall which provides access to a boot room with hanging space, a door to the north garden, and a separate cloakroom. At the opposite end of the rear hall is a butler’s pantry.

The kitchen and a laundry are located off the rear hall with double windows facing east capturing the morning sun, and a traditional wood burning stove. The kitchen is generously proportioned with ample space for dining and could easily be converted into a welcoming home hub.

Double doors lead to the garden room, which is perfectly positioned to face south overlooking the garden, with glazed windows on all three sides and double doors opening directly on to the garden. A further door leads to the prep kitchen which has a door out to the courtyard with three external storage rooms and a gate to the east garden.

An impressive carpeted staircase with cast iron balustrades and wooden handrail leads to the first floor with a lovely stained glass window casting shards of coloured light. From here, doors lead to the bedrooms. The luxurious master suite has south facing windows, a traditional fireplace, a dressing room with double aspect windows and ample space for dressing room furniture. The generously sized, high-specification en-suite master bathroom has a window to the east which catches the morning sunlight.

This property, surrounded by arable farmland, is a comfortable home, successfully combining country living with city access. It seeks a new family to welcome into its heart and hearth; to call it home. n

TERRE BLANCHE: THE FUTURE OF GOLF

SPORT, IN THE MODERN ERA, INCREASINGLY RELIES ON SCIENCE TO PRODUCE RESULTS. WHILE MUCH OF THE RESEARCH HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN LIMITED TO UNIVERSITIES, TERRE BLANCHE HOTEL SPA GOLF RESORT IN SOUTHERN FRANCE IS DOING THINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY, BLENDING FIVE-STAR LUXURY ACCOMMODATION WITH STATE-OF-THEART GOLFING TECHNOLOGY. JOEL KEY DISCOVERS MORE.

N

estled amongst the hills of Provence, France, you’d be forgiven thinking that you were entering a traditional medieval village when encountering Terre Blanche for the first time. The five-star hotel, spa and golf resort, tantalisingly close to glittering Cannes and Saint-Tropez, blends seamlessly into its surroundings, sun-kissed stonewashed walls and tree-lined paths weaving between fields of lavender and olive groves.

Terracotta-clad villas spill down the hillsides of the 700-acre estate, ushering guests into a private world of serenity and boasting panoramic views over the Van Gogh-inspired landscape. Here, discerning golfers also have the opportunity to have their own exclusive home built within the confines of this preserved and secure estate.

The resort’s rustic exterior belies a superb, contemporary range of amenities however; four fine dining restaurants and a world-class spa comprise a dream destination whose quality is surpassed only by the A-list guests it attracts.

“It really is like entering a paradise.

While we do focus on golf and elite sport, many guests simply seek relaxation and to enjoy the stunning surroundings”.

15 “Our visitors come here to escape,” says Marion Saltiel, Director of Communications at Terre Blanche. “It really is like entering a paradise. While we do focus on golf and elite sport, many guests simply seek relaxation and to enjoy the stunning surroundings.”

Nevertheless, Terre Blanche remains a golfing tour de force in the region.

“We have two fantastic Championship courses designed by Dave Thomas, which are superbly integrated into the environment,” explains Saltiel. “We also offer a range of excellent practice facilities for golfers to train in all aspects of their game”.

WWW.FINEANDCOUNTRY.COM

EHW_Issue3_2014_UK GOLF_V4.indd 15

27/08/2014 15:56

What really sets Terre Blanche apart, however, is the revolutionary Albatros Golf Performance Center, encompassing the renowned Leadbetter Academy and Biomecaswing centre. Together, they provide one of the most comprehensive golf research and teaching facilities in the world. “They have all the tools and expertise right there; for professional golfers, elite sportspeople or guests who simply want health advice or physiotherapy treatment,” indicates Jean-Marie Casella, Director of Terre Blanche Golf.

The venue’s reputation for sporting excellence has been quickly established, resulting in its inauguration as the first European Tour Performance Institute (ETPI). “The ETPI started when The European Tour and the staff who operate the on-Tour physiotherapy unit asked me to develop my biomechanics concept for the benefit of all European Tour players,” explains Jean-Jacques Rivet, Head of Biomechanics and Sports Performance at the ETPI. Through the ETPI, Rivet’s task is to collect and evaluate scientific data about the golfer’s body, club and ball flight, allowing European Tour players and amateurs alike to create cutting edge personal development programmes. Using detailed physical, video and force plate analysis, Rivet and his highly trained team of biomechanists can identify any weaknesses in a player’s action which may hinder performance.

Far right: Indoor pool at the spa.

“We give players confidence. By teaching them how to repeat and maintain their swing, they can create a strategy on the golf course. The players know that swing maintenance is far more important than their power.”

“It all began when David Leadbetter asked me how to adapt a golf swing in a way that was physically compatible with his players,” explains Rivet. “He was concerned with protecting his golfers from injury.”

“The process we have developed interprets how a player’s physical limitations may interfere with their golf swing,” he continues. “With our analysis, we can help the player’s coach modify their training programme and direction for the future.”

Professional coaches at the centre’s illustrious Leadbetter Academy, headed by Alain Alberti, use the information provided

by Rivet and his team to develop series of bespoke drills for their players, targeting any weaknesses. “The most important piece of equipment in our process is the force plate,” says Rivet. “Developed in conjunction with AboutGolf, it is the only one in the world able to track the player’s weight in each foot, their centre of gravity, and the location of the ball. We know from our data that a golfer’s centre of gravity is linked to the direction of their club head and club

27/08/2014 15:59

face position, so we determine how they can manage their total weight during the swing to enhance their smash factor and compressive force at impact.”

Rivet identifies a range of issues in the players he works with, but highlights some important patterns. “The most common problem is the lack of coordination and foot grounding,” he states. “Without good foot grounding it’s difficult to separate your shoulders and hips during the rotation of the golf swing. This is often the result of flexibility restrictions in the legs.”

Mr. Rivet and his team work with a host of top European Tour professionals, and it’s this experience that gives Terre Blanche its distinguished reputation. “Every six weeks we travel to European Tour tournaments with the force plate so players can check their foot grounding,” says Rivet. “It’s very popular.”

“We give players confidence. By teaching them how to repeat and maintain their swing, they can create a strategy on the golf course.

The players know that swing maintenance is far more important than their power,” he continues.

Interestingly, it’s not only the top professionals harnessing this technology to improve their golf. “We can apply the same concepts used with European Tour players to all standards of golfers,”

It’s no surprise then that the centre is so popular with Terre Blanche’s guests, who can book packages that combine spa treatments, fitness programmes and bespoke biomechanical analysis. This combination of classic luxury and groundbreaking sports science is unique to Terre Blanche. “The spirit of Terre Blanche is really the spirit of the owner, Mr. Dietmar Hopp,” says Rivet. “He’s a man with big vision, who has achieved the ultimate recipe of classic luxury and sporting innovation.”

So what does the future hold for Terre Blanche?

“We have hosted many of the top French players already, including Raphaël Jacquelin, and we are in a very important position to develop golf in France,” states Rivet. “There are now two ETPI centres, with the centre at Jumeirah Golf Estates in Dubai having been launched last winter, but in the future we hope to expand this network, training teams of coaches and health professionals to work holistically in developing golf worldwide.”

As professional and amateur golf become ever more competitive, with technology playing an increasingly key role in development of the sport, the future for the ETPI and Albatros Golf Performance Center certainly looks good. Terre Blanche’s fusion of breathtaking five star facilities with this avant-garde approach to sporting performance creates a dream holiday destination at arguably one of the finest golf resorts in the world. n

GOLF EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The team at the Albatros Center employ many solutions to combat these issues, such as improving posture and grounding through footwear management, prescribing muscular elasticity and coordination exercises, swing correction techniques and the provision of tailored equipment.

explains Rivet. “That’s why we have 7-year-old children and 70-year-old golfers using our service.

What we are doing for top-level sportsmen is the same for amateurs.”

n the midst of the Table Mountain range in South Africa is a large whaleback shaped mountain that forms part of the mountainous spine of the Cape Peninsula in Table Mountain National Park, Cape Town. Called Constantiaberg, this is one of a trio of high mountains in the range, consisting of sandstones, that stretches from Table Mountain all the way to Cape Point.

19

In the foothills lies Tokai, a large residential suburb of Cape Town, bordered by Steenberg and Kirstenhof to the South, Bergvliet to the East, Constantia to the North and the plantations against the mountain to the West. Some of the roads here are paved with red brick and streams run through Tokai and Constantia and the pine plantations, forming green belts where nature makes its home and recreational opportunities abound. Originally an area of boutique vineyards and smallholdings, the suburb has grown into a prime residential area, featuring several old Cape Dutch houses, as well as stunning contemporary properties.

A BEAUTIFUL BARN ONCE IN A WHILE A BARN CAN BE TURNED INTO A PERFECT FAMILY HOME. GARDEN BARN IN COMBEINTEIGNHEAD IN DEVON IS ONE SUCH PROPERTY. GISELLE WHITEAKER WALKS THROUGH.

C

ombeinteignhead, nestled on the banks of the Teign Estuary in South Devon is an attractive hamlet. The village sits a few miles south east of Newton Abbot and is a conservation area, with plenty of traditional cob and thatch lending it character and charm.

UK PROPERTY EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

The village lies within the civil parish of Haccombe with Combe, between Newton Abbot and Shaldon. Despite its proximity to the river, the name Combeinteignhead is not derived from it. In the Domesday Book the district contained thirteen manors, which totalled an area of ten hides. This gave the entire area the moniker of the ‘Ten Hide’, which was later corrupted to Teignhead through the influence of the river’s name. Today the village exudes a strong sense of community centered on two popular local inns offering real ales and quality food. Local facilities include a village hall, historical church and sailing club and in the neighbouring village of Stokeinteignhead there is a school and local shop.

Leisure activities abound in this area, with cricket, water sports, walking and cycling. Beaches can be found within a short driving distance and the A380 is within easy reach, providing good access to the A38 and M5. Newton Abbot nearby provides good mainline railway links to London Paddington and Exeter Airport.

Clockwise from top left: The heart of the home; the sitting room; the gardens are a highlight of Garden Barn.

UK PROPERTY EXCLUSIVE HOME WORLDWIDE

Within this desirable setting is Garden Barn, a beautifully-executed conversion. The barn’s origins are said to date as far back as the 18th Century. The conversion has been completed with much thought and flair, using the highest quality materials including slate and oak floors, oak doors, staircases and window sills. The result is a contemporary home that retains much of the barn’s original character, offering spacious-yet-welcoming, accommodation with the necessary degree of versatility to suit a modern family.

This individual home offers a wealth of accommodation attributes, including a sitting room with large fireplace housing a wood burning stove and French doors leading out into the front terrace.

This warm centre of the home provides a perfect picture of winter togetherness, evoking images of the family warming their toes by a crackling fire, while in summer, sunlight streams into the room through the French doors.

THE OLDER BROTHER OFTEN OVERLOOKED, THE CAPITAL OF THE UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, ABU DHABI, HAS A LOT TO OFFER. LOOK PAST THE GLITZ OF DUBAI TO FIND A CONTEMPORARY CLASSIC, PACKED WITH THINGS TO SEE AND DO. GISELLE WHITEAKER HEADS INTO THE DESERT SUN.

M

Dubai is the flashy younger brother, the trend-setter in Armani, wearing oversized Bulgari sunglasses and a diamond encrusted Jaeger LeCoultre timepiece on its wrist, which dangles from a Lamborghini, loudly revving its powerful engine to draw attention.

The distant cousins: Ras al Khaimah, Umm al Quwain, Fujairah, Sharjah and Ajman look on, emulating Dubai’s style in small bursts.

Abu Dhabi is the older brother. More conservative, this city has learnt from Dubai’s mistakes and takes a measured pace as it recreates itself as a classic city. The hedonistic pleasures are all there, from architecturally resplendent hotels to pumping nightspots and exclusive enclaves such as the Monte-Carlo Beach Club Saadiyat.

Yet, amongst the high rises, the top notch restaurants and designer fashion stores, a city of culture lurks. An outpost of the Louvre is on its way and the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi will follow in testament of this outlook.

There is much to see and do in the Capital and I am trying to pack it into one weekend. I start at the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, perhaps Abu Dhabi’s finest monument and one of the most-visited buildings in the UAE. The gleaming white spires rise out of the sand as if a mirage. Destined to be one of the great architectural treasures of contemporary UAE society, this may be the most opulent mosque in the world. Composed of elements from a cornucopia of global destinations, as well as home-grown, more than 3,000 workers took part in its construction. A palatial edifice of marble, stone, gold, semi-precious stones, crystals and ceramics, it covers a massive 22,412 square metres.

Dressed in an abaya, a loose, black covering from head to toe, as a mark of respect, I stroll through the arches to the courtyard entrance, marked by flowers in natural colours inlaid into the pathway. The mosque can hold 41,000 people, and today with only a smattering of visitors braving the humidity, it is filled with a hushed reverence. The spires point towards the bright blue sky as the sun bakes the glittering marble. At the main hall I leave my shoes to walk over the largest carpet in the world (all 5,627 metres of it). Above hangs a multi-coloured chandelier of immense proportions. The third-largest in the world, it was imported from Germany, its Swarovski crystals reflecting shards of light in the silence.

ention Dubai and many will conjure up images of extravagant architecture rising from the desert sands.

Yet, ask those same people about the United Arab Emirates and they appear distinctively uneasy about their lack of knowledge. Dubai had a head-start on marketing itself. “Build it and they will come,” said the Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. And they came in droves.

sensuous curves and sleek lines. My light, spacious suite is decked in fresh-white, its generous balcony overlooking Yas Marina, a collection of yachts bobbing in the sea’s light swell.

I don’t have time to dally. My friend is meeting me for dinner, so I freshen up and head to Origins, one of the hotel’s many top-notch dining spots. Today there is a special Arabian buffet, the sumptuous spread stretching across every available surface. Plates are piled high with wrapped vine leaves, fattoush (Arabian salad) topped with crunchy pita flakes, falafel (chickpea patties) and all manner of temptations – and that’s just the starters.

Lamb ouzi, a delicious slow-baked lamb and rice dish, is at the head of a line of tureens wafting delicious smells into the air as each is opened. There are hundreds of dishes to choose from. I cast aside my diet without a second thought and tuck in to the fabulous fare.

Every morsel is delicious and we graze until we can fit no more.

Top: A pool-side cabana at the Monte-Carlo Beach Club Saadiyat.

Above: Guggenheim Abu Dhabi.

Waking refreshed the next morning, I atone at the gym before heading to the glorious rooftop pool to soak up some sunshine.

I hover between lounger and pool, perfectly relaxed, my reverie broken only by staff delivering cool towels and iced water.

Thoughts flit through my head of activities I should be sampling.

Yas Waterworld, an extensive water park, is a short paddle away, as is Ferrari World, with Formula Rossi, the world’s fastest roller coaster. I could slip into the hotel’s fabulous ESPA for a soothing treatment, or dine at one of the water-side restaurants scattered around Yas Marina. I could shop, dine and play, but in the end the sun decides, ensnaring me in its rays. I am happy right here, so here I shall stay until the sun releases me. There’s always tomorrow. n

After a road-side shwarma snack, the grilled beef wrapped in pita delivering a citric crunch via its accompanying pickles, it’s time to try a new local delicacy at Bobo Gelati. This innovative Italian-style café is combining the best of two worlds – smooth Italian gelato with the flavours of Arabia. The especially daring can sample the velvety pistachio with camel-milk iced-treat.

Abu Dhabi is blessed with an extensive coastline. The Emirate is in fact a collection of islands linked by bridges. The city boasts broad boulevardes, tall towers and myriad malls, and on its perimeter is the Corniche, a busy thoroughfare for both traffic and pedestrians.

Running along the coast, the Corniche is designed for a stroll, stretching almost the width of the city. Lined with greenery, palm trees shifting in the slight breeze, it is a pleasant place to take in the local scene. For the more active, Watercooled at the Hilton Beach Club along the Corniche offers a comprehensive array of water sports activities in Abu Dhabi’s turquoise waters, from sailing to paddleboarding. The Corniche is punctuated by Emirates Palace, perhaps the most opulent hotel in the city. Resembling a royal palace, this expansive abode is an attraction in its own right.

As the desert sun heads towards the sea I check in to the Yas Viceroy Abu Dhabi. This iconic hotel is the focal point of Yas Island, Abu Dhabi’s newest entertainment district. Encased in an eye-catching LED mesh canopy, the Formula One track weaving around its boundary, these 499 five-star rooms and suites embody a contemporary fusion of elegance and momentum, created with

A LIFESTYLE WITH A DIFFERENCE

19 ROOMS ON 25 ACRES IN HEART OF THE NATAL MIDLANDS. THE HISTORY OF ‘THE LORD OF THE MANOR’ BEGINS WITH THE IMMIGRATION OF THE OATES FAMILY FROM LIVERPOOL TO SOUTH AFRICA. THE BUILDING FIRST SERVED AS A GIRL’S SCHOOL UNTIL 1914, WHEN IT WAS TAKEN OVER AS THE FAMILY HOME OF THE ELDEST SON. IT HAS SURVIVED THE RAVAGES OF WAR, THE RIGOURS OF BOARDING SCHOOL AND THE BOISTEROUS BEHAVIOURS OF A LARGE FAMILY. In 2007 it was fully restored by the current owners, who together with a specialist stonesman and restorer of graded buildings in England and an exclusive interior designer, brought it back to its original Colonial Victorian Splendour. It is a unique property to live on and/or a profitable existing hospitality business where only the owners need to change – nothing else. Surrounded by horse trails, a golf course and regular winter snowfall, the building’s use and appearance may have changed over time but its magical allure has remained intact to this day, which is why some still believe the legend that a bag of diamonds is hidden in its walls…

There are no other properties close by, although the old Tipperary Inn is only a short walk away, famous for the namesake song ‘It’s a long way to Tipperary’ which is believed to have been written there.

Originally a working farm the property is large but very homely and has been renovated to a very high standard over the 25 years the family have spent there, the only people to have ever lived in the building!

The owners say they will especially miss the family room they call ‘the Christmas room’, a huge space looking over the barn in which they love getting together with family and friends on special occasions.

The kitchen has been recently extended so it’s perfectly sized for family life and the property in general is extremely spacious with an open aspect, while at the same time feeling secluded and private without immediate neighbours.

ROSEMARY KENILWORTH, WARWICKSHIRE, UNITED KINGDOM “ROSEMARY IS A HOUSE STEEPED IN HISTORY AND MEMORIES FOR ITS PRESENT OWNERS.” It was the father of the current owner that built the pair of semi-detached homes next door to Rosemary, just after the war, and it was there where she grew up. Jen says, “I remember fondly the ‘old house’ from when I was young and the family that lived there during that time.” In fact the love for Rosemary and the street it was built on is so deep, that when Rosemary is sold, it will be a simple move within the area for Jen & Jon. The opportunity to purchase came in 1988; although not really intending to move at the time, they definitely did not let the opportunity pass them by. They moved in July and have never regretted the decision. Rosemary is located in the town of Kenilworth, which offers a great social lifestyle, with for example a vast array of coffee shops and restaurants. Abbey Fields are no more than 100 yards away and the view from the top windows of the house, especially the views looking over the Abbey Fields towards Kenilworth Castle, are stunning.

Rosemary has been a very happy family home over the past 26 years. The owners have hosted many parties and even a wedding reception when Jen’s best friend returned from America.

The garden is perfect for entertaining, with its patio area enclosed by brick and well-established mature shrub beds.

“The previous owners had lived here for 28 years and the house itself was in need of updating, but they were keen gardeners and the grounds were delightful with beautiful shrubs and plants, as well as benefiting from additional land for a paddock and stables.”

Darren adds, “We set about transforming the house, putting in new electrics, heating, fixtures and fittings, extending the size of the property by 40 per cent, and reconfiguring the flow and layout of the rooms. Although, it is an older house, which was one of the things that attracted us to the property, it now has a modern and contemporary feel.”
