Seller Insight Situated in a semi-rural location on the outskirts of Coventry and surrounded by stunning countryside, is this spacious family home. It has been a tremendous home for its present owners for the past twenty years, during which time it has been enhanced and extended, now offering a home with a flexible layout for contemporary living, combined with having access to a superb choice of outstanding amenities. Local shops are minutes from the house and the primary school is within walking distance. Schools for older children, both state and independent, are in the bustling city of Coventry, just a few miles away. Bablake Independent Grammar School is just a 10 minute drive away and the owners children attended this school achieving excellent results. There is an excellent public transport service into the city and both road and rail links are exceptional; the journey time into London taking just one hour. The city and surrounding region is rich in culture and heritage, with many events and festivals taking place during the year. Restaurants and other dining facilities in the city are of outstanding quality. It was a house which ticked all the boxes for the owners and they were able to move into their comfortable new home very easily. It had many attractions, not least of which was a large studio on the upper floor. This has been a perfect games room for the children, a store room, but its flexibility provides a space of great functionality. Bathrooms have been replaced and the kitchen has been the subject of a significant extension and total refitting. An incredible home for social gatherings, and which the younger members of the family found to be extremely convenient. The large double aspect reception room is comfortable and welcoming and features large patio doors which open out onto the terrace and garden. On warm summer days when the doors are open wide, the garden becomes part of this special room. Mainly laid to lawn and surrounded by mature shrubs, the garden is a place offering total peace and tranquillity. The large patio provides a space on which to dine al fresco or just to sit and observe the variety of birdlife visiting the garden. The owners gave much thought into the design of their new kitchen/dining room. It is a delight, with windows overlooking the pretty garden and with plenty of space in which to seat many guests around the dining table, or to converse whilst catching up with family news. These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent.



Leading off the sitting room are three good sized bedrooms and family bathroom with bath and separate shower cubicle.




Externally is the beautiful garden with lawned area and mature flowering shrubs. Accessible from both the kitchen and the sitting room, the garden provides access to open fields and a delightful countryside view. Also in the garden is a useful large brick built detached garage. An adjacent one acre countryside plot is also available with this property by separate negotiation.
