SELLER INSIGHT

The peaceful, extremely friendly and compact, village of Easenhall is just four miles from Rugby. Along this quiet lane, containing an eclectic mix of interesting family homes, is the delightful location for Highfield Cottage which has been the home for its present owners for the past four years.

The owners had always been fond of the village and, on their house hunting search, were delighted to discover this spacious cottage for sale. A brilliant setting within the lane, alongside its stunning rear garden, providing an amazing backdrop of views across open meadowland. Built in the 1950s, its potential to expand and enhance into the fabulous family home that it is today was obvious. Many practical, and often unseen, tasks, were undertaken including replacement of the balcony – an amazing feature from which to enjoy the outlook. Internally, accommodation has been ‘tweaked’ updated and considerably enhanced to provide a family home full of comforts and luxuries, but one which is stylish and highly versatile/. There are several quite special areas, one being the refurbished conservatory, now a splendid, fully insulated, summer room which overlooks the garden, and which easily doubles up as a large dining room.

The glorious, spacious, garden is further enriched with its setting, and certainly one in which to totally switch off, enjoy sociable al fresco dining on one of the patios, or maybe sit on the raised bench by the pond. The garden also has a ‘bespoke’ greenhouse and raised beds for vegetable growing. Both the garden and the house become the idyllic venue for entertaining and some special ‘milestone’ birthdays have been held here.

Everything required is close at hand and transport is provided from the village to schools and colleges. Several social events take place in the village hall, with the Golden Lion pub being a sociable gathering spot. The annual horticultural fete is a very popular event. There is also an active cricket club and walking in the area is a delight. Main shopping area is Rugby and Coventry, but there is a splendid farm shop minutes away from the house. Transport links whether by road, rail or air are very convenient to access.

The owners have been so content living here and will take away just joyful memories of their time here and the many friends they have made and know that, whoever decides to live here, will be very happy and content.”*
