. “I love coming home on a rainy night, closing the electric gates behind me, pulling up into my carport and walking under shelter to the house without getting wet. An escape from the outside world.�

There is also space for your white goods in this room and space for an American style fridge freezer.

Vendor Insight Surrounded by mature greenery, this secluded, private property has been the happy family home of the current owners, Mr. and Mrs. Squires, for 15 years. “Anybody would want to live here, its fantastic. The property is convenient for Kenilworth and Coventry whilst being set in a very nice corner of Warwickshire. The location is just superb, the surrounding fields and being right off the road make the home private and secluded. The home is also situated on the site of an ancient moat, Bockendon grange.” With many opportunities for outdoor and indoor entertaining, guests can enjoy relaxing on the spacious patio and the sizeable lawn provides ample space for a marquee if required. “One of the first things we did when moving here was to have the patio extended with York stone, so we could enjoy parties and barbeques.” The whole of the rear living areas of the house are naturally lit, with the principle rooms benefiting enormously from being south facing. Mr. Squires mentions, “the south facing part of the house is bathed in sun, with the large windows the whole house receive a great amount of daylight.” “In a nutshell, the best feature of the property is the wildlife,” comments Mr. Squires. With surrounding fields and a tranquil setting, it is the perfect environment for nature to thrive. “The home truly is a haven away from the hustle and bustle of town, it’s so peaceful. We have twice daily visits from wild ducks and a variety of birds are constantly making appearances. I’ve seen blue & grey tits and even the occasional stoat pops up from time to time. We are lucky enough to see monk jac and roe deer in the opposite field too.” “We will miss the memories of the house, but we hope the next family will enjoy the home as much as us.” Mr. & Mrs. Squires. Owners, The Moat.
The 1.5 Acre plot surrounds the entire property which in turn is surrounded by fields. The garden has been landscaped and even provides an entire vegetable patch. The garden is fantastic to walk around and provides complete privacy from the outside world.

Coventry motor companies have contributed significantly to the British motor industry.The city has two Universities, the city centre-based Coventry University and The University of Warwick on the southern outskirts.
