Seller Insight A stunning red brick family home in a semi-rural location, Honiley House has hosted the current owners through many happy times. Elegant and modern, the house has a contemporary feel whilst retaining a sense of stately simplicity in keeping with its countryside surroundings. Bright and spacious, the house offers plenty of room for a family to grow. Built only a decade ago, all modern conveniences are integrated and the rooms are generously sized. A modern kitchen and large dining area are highlights of the ground floor, while a beautiful wooden staircase leads to a galleried landing and five bedrooms on the upper floor. A long driveway leading to an angular canopied porch offers plentiful parking, establishing the property as the perfect venue for hosting gatherings with family and friends. “It’s not one particular room which stands out for me, but the size of all the rooms” says Michele. “It’s unusual in such a modern house to have so much space.” A neatly landscaped south facing garden, with mature trees to provide privacy and shelter, is a favourite place for Michele. A large patio with garden furniture offers the perfect space for barbecues and al-fresco dining, while pretty flowers and hedges form a picturesque view. Though Honiley House is surrounded by lovely countryside, it is in close proximity to various local primary and secondary schools in both Warwickshire and Solihull boroughs. “My daughter loved the local primary school and attends St. Peter’s secondary school in Solihull” says Michele. The house is also in the catchment area for the esteemed St. Martins private school. Dentist, hairdresser, pub, doctors’ surgery and supermarket are also to be found close by. The property offers excellent access to motorway and train networks. The property sits at the heart of a friendly neighbourhood, where Michele has made many close friends. “It’s a very sociable place” she says. On a private lane with only four houses, it is a safe place for children, with no main roads to worry about when they go out to play. “My family have enjoyed living here and we will definitely miss it” says Michele. “We have many happy memories here.” These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
