THE FIRS

Nestled within the embrace of nature’s serenity, The Firs stands as an embodiment of refined luxury. A symphony of elegance and space, this executive detached home reigns supreme within its vast 1-acre realm of meticulously curated gardens and open land. A tranquil village setting, a mere breath away from the thriving market town of Leamington Spa, completes this picture of idyllic perfection.

SPECIFICATION

Step into a realm of culinary artistry in the stunning rear-facing kitchen breakfast area, where the boundary between indoors and out dissolves into a seamless panorama of nature’s beauty. Meanwhile, the dining room, also gracing the rear, provides a sumptuous backdrop for moments of shared culinary delight, overlooking the flourishing garden.

The architecture of connectivity allows the lounge and dining room to coalesce into a grand space for soirées that linger into the night, an enchanting haven where laughter dances through the air. And yet, with a touch of exclusivity, the lounge can be transformed into a haven of tranquillity, offering solace and calm away from the world’s hustle.

The modern essentials are effortlessly woven into this opulent tapestry. An indispensable home office awaits, an embodiment of contemporary work-life balance. A utility room stands ready to cater to the practicalities of daily life, while a cloakroom adds an element of convenience.

Ascending the staircase reveals a collection of bedrooms, each a testament to the harmonious marriage of space and comfort. The principal bedroom exudes splendour, adorned with a four-piece en suite, where twin sinks become an artful statement.

Outdoors, a realm of enchantment unfolds. An expansive tiled-terrace across the full width of the property becomes a stage for gatherings, a canvas for memories yet to be painted. Meandering paths invite exploration through the carefully designed tapestry of plants, trees, and flowers, each step an immersion into nature’s embrace, where creative lighting on the key seating areas and trees provides a magical backdrop, extending the time spent throughout the year in this outdoor haven

The Pavilion, a sanctuary of leisure and fun, invites you to unwind and enjoy downtime with friends and family. Adjacent, the Nissen offers versatility – a canvas for storage, or perhaps an indoor sanctuary for culinary artistry over a crackling indoor barbecue. The land unfolds into a meticulously manicured lawn, inviting the spirited to engage in games of tennis, badminton, or football, a testament to the marriage of leisure and vitality.

As you journey towards the garden’s end, a breathtaking vista unfolds – panoramic views over the undulating countryside, a reminder that The Firs is not merely a residence, but a gateway to a life curated with panoramic grace. Welcome to a realm where luxury, nature, and modernity intertwine, where The Firs stands as an invitation to experience life’s splendours in their fullest bloom.

SELLER INSIGHT

When the present owner, Sue, was searching for a new home there were two key criteria that the property had to meet. It should have a large plot, in a peaceful and private location and be close to motorways and an airport for easy commuting. The Firs, a detached house standing in one and a half acres of land, within a short drive to the M1 and Birmingham airport, ticked those boxes. It was also conveniently on the edge of desirable Marton village.

Sue explains that the house was quite small but is now doubled in size, with an extra bedroom and en suite and an extended dining room and kitchen. It is a spacious, most comfortable, and elegant home. The rooms are flooded with natural light and the patio doors in the kitchen, lounge and dining room extend across the rear of the house, with stunning views to the fabulous garden. You can open the back of the house to intertwine house and garden, creating a charming inside outside feel, for summer alfresco living.

The well equipped kitchen is perfect for the keen cook, and you can choose to enjoy a coffee seated at the central island or a chatty breakfast round the table. The lounge and dining area is a much used space, where the lounge offers an elegant but comfortable area for family downtime and a cosy section where you can watch TV or just chill out. Sue explains that during the pandemic she worked from home and created an efficient business office that is also a peaceful sanctuary, where you can look onto a lovely garden aspect, through the large bay window.

The one and a half acres of garden is the shining jewel of The Firs and is a glorious combination of different areas where you can savour the beauty and the tranquillity around you. There is a sunken sun filled patio, perfect for entertaining: and then the garden unfolds before you with colourful borders, a pond with a seating area, a vegetable patch, and a section of ornamental grasses. A summerhouse with fridge which the children use as a hidey hole and playing table tennis. A side path leads into an enchanting woodland garden, where a Nissen hut provides a base for winter barbecues and bonfires. The garden becomes a magical night time haven with the up lights twinkling away.

The field is the final treat in this amazing garden and Sue recalls the parties for a hundred when a marquee was erected, football games, cricket matches and also how she loves to sit in the second bedroom and watch the sunrise across the garden and look beyond to the morning mist hanging over the river and the countryside stretching into the distance. It is a wonderful setting.

Marton is a community minded village which offers various clubs and activities including a Friday film night. It is just over seven miles from Leamington Spa and Rugby’s retail park is nine miles. Rugby station is easily accessible with a good service into London Euston, and there are excellent schools in the area including Rugby School. Sue says she is going to sorely miss the tranquillity, the amazing wild life in the garden and will treasure the memory of taking a picnic blanket into the field and lying down to gaze up at a canopy of stars. The Firs is a serene and very special property and Sue is sure the next owners will love it as she has.*

LOCATION

Nestled within the picturesque village of Marton, the property is a true gem in the heart of Warwickshire. This charming haven offers an enviable lifestyle, perfectly situated at the crossroads of Leamington (7 miles), Rugby (8 Miles), and Coventry (9 miles). The allure doesn’t stop at location; Marton’s educational landscape is a parent’s dream, with an array of esteemed schools including Arnold Lodge, Rugby School, and Warwick School. Even the neighbouring towns of Princethorpe and Rugby boast renowned institutions like Lawrence Sheriff and Rugby High School. For those seeking a more idyllic setting, the outstanding Knightlow Primary School in nearby Stretton On Dunsmore is a prime choice, with its impressive OFSTED report drawing in eager families. As a cherry on top, the village itself is a hub of community spirit, with a lively cricket club and a calendar brimming with social gatherings at the village hall and church. Notably, in 2010, Marton clinched the coveted title of ‘Best Village in Warwickshire’, a testament to its captivating essence. Access is a breeze, thanks to its proximity to major highways like M69, M45, M6, and M40. And for those who appreciate the convenience of city connections, the train service from Rugby to Euston, under 50 minutes away, offers a seamless bridge to urban excitement. In every sense, this property is an embodiment of the harmonious blend between tranquillity and accessibility, making it a truly lovely place to call home.
