Seller Insight

Occupying an enviable location just three miles from Coventry city centre is this lovely five-bedroom family home that was beautifully designed and built by the current owners. “When I was young, I grew up in a house that had a beautiful orchard right at the very end of the garden, and I have really fond memories of the time I spent playing in it,” says the owner. “It was an idyllic place to grow up, and it was a childhood that I wanted my own children to experience. So when back in 1996 the opportunity arose to buy this superb plot of land on which we could build our own home, I jumped at the chance to ow n it.”

“We’re just three miles from the city centre, but our immediate surroundings have a woodland feel so our outlook is wonderfully leafy and green and it’s incredibly peaceful here. The house is set well away from the road and is approached vial a long driveway that cuts through a deep spinney so the property is completely hidden from view, affording us a wonderful degree of privacy. But what we’ve relished most is the fact the children could step out of the front door and have this vast expanse of woodland to explore, build camps in and generally have a good time without having to venture too far from home and without us having to live out in the sticks.”

“In terms of the house itself, I wanted people to come inside and feel as if they are going on a journey. In other words, I didn’t want to create a generic, boring home, I wanted it to be exciting. With that in mind I’ve added features such as yacht fittings for lights, doors with portholes, and in both the dining room and living room we have fully sprung Junkers beech dance floors because I wanted the youngsters to be able to jump up and down. It’s a house to have fun in, but it’s also a superb family home with plenty of space and all mod cons – we’ve kept everything up to date, including fixtures, fittings and appliances so it’s in e xcellent condition.”

“The garden is another lovely feature, and in the huge kitchen/diner we have almost an entire wall of windows that stretch right up to the apex of the roof, as well as bi-fold doors that open out onto the patio, so we can bring the outside in, whatever the weather. The outside space has definitely been designed with ease of maintenance in mind so it’s really easy to keep looking nice, which has given us more time to sit out and enjoy spending time in it.”

“The large kitchen/diner is our favourite. It’s a really sociable space, great for family time and superb for entertaining.”

“This is definitely a place where we’ve been able to enjoy the best of both worlds. We can head off through the spinney, which leads to beautiful walks to Warwick University campus, the lakes and Tocil Woods nature reserve. We can also hop in the car and be shopping in the city centre in under ten minutes or catch a train into London, a journey that can be done in only fifty-six minutes!”

“The house is absolutely lovely as it is, but there’s definitely potential to do more. The parking area to the right could be used for an extension or annex – subject to planning, of course – and there are two sheds, both of which have power and wifi so we’ve always thought they could be replaced with a big garden room. The possibilities are endless.”

“It’s the utter peace and privacy that these gorgeous surroundings have afforded us that I think we’ll miss most,” says the owner. “The house has been an amazing home, but it’s the location that really sets it apart.”*
