Situated just two miles from Rugby town centre is this lovely fourbedroom bungalow, which boasts an exceptionally large and very attractive garden. “My mother and father bought the bungalow way back in 1976,” says Jed. “We moved in as a family so I spent a good few years here, and it was a lovely place to live. It sits in this very sought-after location on the edge of Rugby, so in one direction we had access to a fantastic array of shops and amenities, but head off down nearby Barby Lane and there’s virtually noting but rolling farmland for as far as the eye can see.”

“The bungalow was built in the 1950s and it sits on a double plot so there’s a tremendous feeling of space both inside and out. Over time my parents made improvements here and there, which included replacing windows as well as the addition of a small extension, but other than that it didn’t need any major alterations as it’s a very comfortable family home, very roomy and it has a layout that flows very well. It suited us as a family and later just my parents very well, but I’d say it has huge potential to be further enhanced so the new owners could come in and either enjoy it as it is or really put their stamp on it.”

“One of the standout features has to be the garden, which is very large and edged with an assortment of mature trees which create a wonderful degree of privacy. The space is mainly laid to lawn, but there’s also a nice patio area where you can sit out and enjoy a really lovely view of the garden. Because the bungalow is set well back from the road there’s a large driveway to the front, and at the rear of the garden is another good-size parking area – with separate access – as well as a garage so parking has never been an issue.”

“The hub of the home has always been the kitchen/diner; everything from meals to get-togethers with family and friends happens in there. I also love the fact that it flows into the conservatory so you get this gorgeous view of the garden, and when the weather is warm the doors can be opened up to create a really nice feeling of connection between inside and out.”

“For those wanting the convenience of living close to town but without the feeling of being right in the hustle and bustle of things, the location of this property really couldn’t be better. There are shops and amenities within walking distance, excellent local transport links, an array of good schools close by and there’s also mile upon mile of open countryside practically on the doorstep.”

“As well as the garage at the end of the garden there’s also a good-size brick-built shed so there’s plenty of extra storage space.”

“It’s the convenience of the setting and the privacy within the lovely big garden that I think we’ll all miss when the property is sold,” says Jed. “It’s a lovely place to live and I’d say there’s endless potential for the new owners to further enhance the property as a whole and really make it their own.”*
