Morning Calm House Bourton Lane | Birdingbury | Rugby | Warwickshire | CV23 9QP MORNING CALM HOUSE “We first viewed Morning Calm House around 20 years ago and we were immediately impressed by the superb design across 3 split levels. We still think that it’s a completely unique, one off family home,” say the current owners. Morning Calm House is a superbly appointed detached residence, styled with a mock-Tudor appearance. The property is a complete one-off architect designed triple split-level home, built by the renowned builders “Parker Lake Homes”. Throughout the property careful consideration has been given to provide an individual home with the architect saying “He walked the land before designing this innovative property”. This provides well-proportioned five bed roomed accommodation which has been elegantly appointed throughout with Ash doors and woodwork, decorative coving, dado rails, integrated sound system by AMI and a central Beam vacuum system. From the arched Oak double front doors the scene is set for the first class standard found within. Ground Floor Opening the oak double doors into the reception hall you are immediately impressed by the galleried landing, Amtico tiled flooring, decorative coving and picture rails. From the hall all the main reception rooms are accessed. The main room to the ground floor is undoubtedly the superb hand built German kitchen, with its Granite worktops, bespoke cupboards, built in rangemaster by Britannia and high end appliances. The split level open plan leads to the breakfast room which also has French doors leading to its own private garden area. From the kitchen there are double doors opening into the sitting room which in turn flows immediately into the formal dining room. These three spaces provide a wonderful entertainment area to enjoy with friends and family, with direct access to the garden. The drawing room once again has the decorative coving, twin ceiling roses and a stone carved chimney piece for a main focal point. It also has two French doors leading to the garden with interconnecting doors to the garden room (Orangery) which has three double French doors also leading to the garden. The study benefits from a fitted book shelves which has created a fantastic library area. The utility room has plumbing for washing machine and space for a tumble dyer with workspace over and a stainless steel sink with mixer tap over internal access to the double garage is direct from here. All rooms have been fitted to the highest of standards. Seller Insight We haven’t had to make any changes to the house as it’s been absolutely perfect for us, as has the location. We enjoy walking to our local pub, ‘The Friendly Inn’ in Frankton which lives up to its name and offers good beer and tasty food. There is something for everyone to enjoy in the local area, including peaceful days out spent fishing in the River Leam, as well as some fabulous country walks along the public footpaths through the fields. There is also a wonderful cycle path along the disused railway line around Draycote Water which is roughly a 6-mile round trip and all without having to ride on a public highway. We are ideally positioned to access the great shops and restaurants in Leamington, Kenilworth and Rugby, whilst Rugby rail station is just 15 minutes away from where we can be in Euston in 50 minutes or so. This is very convenient for us as we are members of the RAF club and we often visit London.” “The outside space is very private as the total plot surrounds the house. The main garden is west facing and is a total sun trap. We enjoy relaxing on the patio area when the weather is good or we can retire indoors to eat in the Orangery, so we have different options. It’s very peaceful and quiet with a superb country ambiance, thanks to the sheep and cows in the surrounding fields combined with the sound of the birds singing.” “The house is perfect for entertaining and we often have dinner parties for up to 14 people. We simply open up the dining/morning rooms into the kitchen/ breakfast room to create a huge area.” “We will miss everything about living here but the time is right to downsize and move closer to our family.” * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. It’s impossible to choose just one favourite room as the whole house is interesting with wonderful features, upstairs and down.” First Floor The versatile accommodation continues upstairs to the split-level galleried landing.
