Seller Insight

Morningside has been our wonderful family home for many years; the place for our children to grow up in. The spacious and adaptable rooms in the house have met all our needs, and given us so many memorable family and friends gatherings.

Our large gardens open out to an abundance of mature trees and shrubs; over the years we’ve lovingly maintained and developed the plants to look fabulous in all seasons. Backing onto woodland it is visited by an abundance of birds and inquisitive wildlife. We are often entertained by truly amazing birdsong or the antics of muntjac deer. The secure and secluded lawn has provided a wonderful play space for our children with many impromptu games of football, badminton, cricket, and hide and seek.

The entertainment terrace to the rear of the house is great for summer barbeques, or evenings around the fire pit under starlit winter skies. We have created a ‘green room’ for outside dining under the colourful awning linked to the lounge by sliding doors. Our spacious, self-contained annex, with shower room has also been invaluable for quiet study or home working, whilst the front reception room, separate to the lounge, made a funky hangout for teenagers. Simply the best times! Recently we’ve been using this room as an indoor exercise room for yoga and home turbo sessions.

The local amenities which first attracted us to the village have been enjoyed by the whole family including truly excellent schools and sports clubs for rugby, tennis, football, hockey, cycling and cricket. Being situated in the Heart of England, we often visit London or Stratford-upon-Avon for theatre, museums and galleries and frequently use Birmingham Airport for business trips and holidays. Balsall Common, surrounded by a vast network of trails and canal towpaths in protected greenbelt countryside has allowed us to pursue our other passions of walking and cycling. We just love it here!*
