An immaculately presented and extended detached home situated on an elevated plot with views across Rugby.

KEY FEATURES

245 Bilton Road has been improved dramatically by our present owners who have created a stunning family home with high quality fittings, a wonderful kitchen/ breakfast room, refitted bathroom, refitted ensuite, and refitted cloakroom. The house sits in an elevated position on an established road just outside of Bilton village. The house was originally constructed in the 1920s but has undergone a huge modernisation program in recent years. There is a welcoming entrance hall and modern hardwood flooring that leads to a refitted cloakroom with high-quality tiling and a cupboard that houses the central heating boiler. There is a spacious sitting room with double glazed windows to the rear and side aspects, including French doors that lead to the rear terrace. The room has an attractive fireplace, contemporary style radiators and fine views of the garden. The kitchen/dining room is beautifully presented with some high quality units, quartz work surfaces and splashbacks. There is large island unit with sink and a range of built-in appliances including a built-in dishwasher, fridge and freezer and a range with extractor hood above and large anthracite sliding patio doors for taking in views of the garden and terrace. Part of this room has been extended previously, and there are Velux roof windows and plenty of glazing for providing ample natural light.

SELLER INSIGHT

This lovely four-bedroom detached family home, which has been beautifully remodelled and refurbished by the current owners, enjoys a superb location on the edge of Bilton village and just short drive from the historic town centre of Rugby.

“We’d actually just been let down on another house, and my wife was looking on Rightmove when this one popped up,” says the owner. “It was a bit of an ugly duckling, but it was immediately obvious that it had bags of potential so we decided to take a look. The first thing that struck us as soon as we walked through the front door was the light; it was flooding into all the rooms. We then spotted the view out across the garden and the valley beyond, and that was it, we were totally sold.”

“Over the course of the past few years we’ve done absolutely everything to the house and transformed it into a really beautiful family home, both inside and out. The layout has been tweaked to make it more conducive to modern living, the bathrooms have been stylishly remodelled using top-of-the-range fixtures and fittings, including gorgeous Porcelanosa tiles, we’ve created a stunning kitchen/diner with a wall of sliding doors that open straight out onto the garden… the list goes on and on. It was already a very large house so we worked with what we had, making more use of each space, and it’s now a really attractive and comfortable home.”

“Outside, the building has been rendered, which also allowed us to up the insulation, and we had the front garden relandscaped so the house now has real curb appeal. The back garden, which is a great size, didn’t need any attention as the previous owner had looked after it beautifully. It’s mainly laid to lawn and edged with an assortment of hedging, shrubs and trees, which gives a wonderful sense of privacy, but at the same time is at a level that allows us to enjoy the gorgeous view.”

“The kitchen is definitely the hub of the home. It’s been reconfigured to make it ideal for cooking, eating, relaxing and entertaining, and when the sun is shining the doors can be pushed back to create a really nice sense of connection between inside and out.”

“The location is incredibly convenient; we can access everything in a matter of minutes. We’re just down the road from Bilton village, it takes around twenty minutes to walk into Rugby town centre, and from the station it takes under an hour to travel into London.”

“While carrying out the renovations we also added solar panels so the property is very energy efficient. During the summer months our bills drop dramatically and we also get a yearly payment back from the National Grid.”

“It’s the house itself and everything we’ve done to it that I’ll miss most,” says the owner. “It’s a very comfortable and cosy family home, really light and bright, and it’s perfect for both family life and entertaining. It’s also absolutely stunning throughout and so ready for the new owners to simply move in and enjoy.”*

LOCATION

Rugby has grown to become Warwickshire’s second largest market town, boasting a variety of designer and high street shops, restaurants and pubs. Famed for its public school, the birth of rugby football and the Frank Whittle jet engine, Rugby is also home to the green open spaces of Caldecott Park, Coombe Abbey Country Park, Brownsover Hall and Draycote Water. It has a range of excellent schools. It has excellent motorway links and speedy rail services to Birmingham, Leicester, and to London Euston in around 50 minutes.

Positioned in the heart of England the county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands County in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves. Warwickshire hosts several key towns including Leamington Spa, Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Kenilworth, Henley-in-Arden and Rugby to name a few. The northern tip of the county is only 3 miles from the Derbyshire border, an average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 60 miles north to south. Equivalently it extends as far north as Shrewsbury in Shropshire and as far south as Banbury in North Oxfordshire.
