SELLER INSIGHT
Sitting within a 2016 development of six attractive properties this stunning glass, wood and brick built, detached home offers comfortable modern living with a traditional aesthetic. Rurally located and surrounded by beautiful Warwickshire countryside Draycote Reach sits just off the approach to Draycote Water some 1.5 miles from the village of Dunchurch. Positioned at the entrance to a private cul-de-sac and occupying a generous leafy plot Moorhen Lodge has been in the same ownership since completion. ‘Each property has been built using the same materials however each is unique. Brilliant for easy access to the 240-hectare reservoir and country park and the views across fields to the front.’
‘Throughout the week, it’s so quiet here that one could hear a pin drop, however at weekends things get a little busier as the park attracts visitors for walking, fishing, sailing and exercising. One of the best things about living here is being so close to nature yet not remote – both London and Birmingham are easy to reach by train and road and Birmingham Airport is just thirty-minutes away.’ There are excellent nearby amenities – including schools – in the towns of Strafford Upon Avon, Leamington Spa and Rugby.
‘In our time here, we have landscaped the garden and added a greenhouse where we successfully grow lemons. The garden is enclosed on all sides and there are wonderful places to dine al fresco.’
‘The house has no best time of year; it’s simply outstanding all year round. During the summer we throw open the large south facing doors to let the outdoors in. In the cooler months, it’s toastie warm due to several log burners; the oak frame gives any Swiss chalet a run for its money!’
‘Upstairs, the guest suite has a novel balcony giving views of the fields toward the reservoir while another room has a Juliet balcony providing fantastic, farreaching country vistas.’
‘The open plan and lofty layout make it excellent for entertaining; at most we have had 60 guests in the house.’
‘We are close to some of the country’s top independent schools including Bilton Grange, Rugby School and Princethorpe College. There are several good state primary and secondary schools locally.’
‘Being so close to the reservoir means that we are regularly treated to flocks of geese, swans and other birds.’*
