SELLER INSIGHT

What was it that attracted us to the property initially? That’s an easy one! It was, without a doubt, the stunning far-reaching views over the valley spanning from Flecknoe all the way up to Dunchurch. We were hooked before we even set foot inside but our minds were fully made up when we saw the primary bedroom. It’s the biggest one we’ve ever had with an amazing dressing room and ensuite, as well as a working fireplace for cosy nights,” say the owners.

“Flecknoe is a sociable village with a vibrant and welcoming community. There are a wide range of events taking place over the year, including the annual produce show, summer BBQs, and Burns Night Suppers, but there’s never any pressure to take part and you can join in whenever you want. The village is well located for easy access to road and rail links, as well as shopping and leisure facilities in Daventry, Rugby, Southam, Milton Keynes, Banbury, and beautiful Leamington Spa. We enjoy walking our dogs along the canal before stopping off in our local village pub for refreshments on the way home. The village hall has recently been refurbished and is available to hire out for events and we (the village) have purchased the cricket and recreational field that is in the process of being improved and is now home to a brand new pond and ducks.”

“Our garden has recently been restructured and new patio areas laid, so it’s now perfect for relaxing and entertaining. We hosted our son’s wedding reception at the house where we celebrated with 100 guests in a marquee in the field behind us . We’ve also enjoyed smaller get-togethers here including family events, village BBQs, and Scottish Brunches that invariably last well into the late evening! It’s a great space for socialising.”

This well designed room has quality floor and wall tiles with Roca ‘his & hers’ wash hand basin, low-level flush WC and two windows.

The second bedroom also has a rear window providing probably the best views from the house and has a re-fitted en-suite shower room with a shower cubicle and contemporary tiles and an opaque double glazed window to the rear.
