When we first viewed the property 25 years ago, we were immediately impressed by the amount of space. It has large windows that let in lots of light and it was much bigger than the other properties we had looked at in the same price range. We knew it had the potential to become a fabulous family home,” say the current owners.

“We have made a number of changes over the years, including the addition of the en suites, as well as another bedroom. We extended the kitchen to create a breakfast area and big utility room that enabled us to run our own Bed & Breakfast business for a couple of years. Perhaps my favourite change has been the creation of my studio in what was the garage. The skylight allows the beautiful northern light to flood the room and I love to spend time in there.”

“The location has been perfect for us as there is a good primary and secondary school within walking distance and I also enjoy easy access to the shopping and leisure facilities of Leamington, Solihull and Stratford. There are two National Trust properties nearby, as well as a good choice of restaurants and theatres. My husband enjoys walking and has made full use of the many footpaths leading through the fields and on to Hampton and Berkswell. The village itself has all of the day to day amenities we need, including a butcher, bakery and a choice of supermarkets.”

“Outside, the sunny, low maintenance garden is south facing, and we have hosted plenty of family gatherings over the years, including our daughter’s wedding reception and parties where we have enjoyed games of bowls and golf. I have fond memories of our children and their friends camping in tents in the garden when they were young, it was great fun!”

“This is a house for all seasons. The rooms facing the garden are always light and sunny, whilst the rooms at the front of the house provide respite from the heat of summer. I do enjoy sitting in the sunshine in the lounge at the back of the house as I am sewing.” “However the attic is Tony’s favourite place in the house, and with light from the windows, insulation in the rafters and headroom to walk the length of it, gives massive amounts of storage space.”

“Set on the edge of the village and surrounded by countryside, we have enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the easy access to railway links, motorways and local amenities.”

“The rooms open up into each other and create a fabulous flow which is ideal when we are entertaining. We’ve hosted so many birthday and Christmas parties over the years and I even considered holding a Barn Dance in the hall!”

“I will really miss my studio and the beautiful light, but the house is now too big for us and we are leaving to pursue other interests.”
