Seller Insight

Thinking back to our initial impressions of the property, we can easily recall the warm and welcoming feeling that was immediately apparent from when we first stepped into the spacious hallway. It had such a good feeling about it that got better and better as we went through the house, and it was this, combined with the size and layout which is what first attracted us,” say the owners.

“Set in a quiet cul-de-sac on the edge of the village of Fillongley, it is very rural but we’ve enjoyed being part of a small, friendly community of neighbours, so we’ve never felt isolated. The best thing about living here is that we can step out of the front door and be walking in the countryside in a matter of minutes and we also enjoy going to nearby Kingsbury Water Park with our dog as it’s a beautiful place to walk. There is a fabulous 18th century pub / restaurant within walking distance and we can easily head into Coventry or Nuneaton for a wider range of shops, restaurants, and leisure facilities.”

“The garden was just laid to lawn when we moved in and we have since landscaped it to create a peaceful space that’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining. We added decking which overhangs the pond and it’s the perfect spot to sit quietly and watch the various wildlife that find it irresistible, such as birds, dragonflies, tadpoles, and frogs. We also see hedgehogs, rabbits, partridges, and even a polecat on one occasion! The established shrubbery and bushes provide a sense of privacy and there are different areas to sit with a cup of tea or to enjoy a BBQ with friends and family.”

“My favourite place to spend time is, without a doubt, in the garden but the upstairs snug is a close second as it’s a lovely room where I can relax on the comfortable sofa with a good book. We tend to spend most of our day time in the kitchen / diner as it has a breakfast bar, tv, and small sofa where we can sit and chat whilst cooking. It’s modern, bright, and airy with clean white lines and top-quality appliances, including our big American fridge freezer. I enjoy sitting in there at the weekend with breakfast whilst reading the newspapers.”*
