Seller Insight When we first viewed the property, we were immediately taken by the sense of privacy, as well as the unique layout inside. It opens up to give a completely unexpected feeling of space and the high ceilings ensure that the rooms are always airy and light,” say the current owners. “We’ve lived here for nearly 8 years and have made a number of enhancements to the property, including the additions of the en suite bathrooms and downstairs cloakroom but I think the biggest change has taken place in the kitchen. It’s now ideal for a modern lifestyle and our guests tend to gravitate to this room when we are entertaining.” “The location has been perfect. Grandborough is a lovely village with a good sense of community. Everybody is so friendly, and we’ve been made to feel most welcome from the moment we moved here. The village hall is very active, and you can do as much or as little as you like. There are plenty of lovely walks and horse-riding opportunities to enjoy in the area, especially alongside the canal and nearby Draycote Water which is perfect for a scenic stroll followed by a cup of tea or coffee.” “We’ve loved landscaping the large, south facing garden and it’s ideal for relaxing and entertaining. Double doors open from the house onto the patio area which gives a sense of being in the Mediterranean with the sound of water and plants. The garden is full of interest and colour and the roses are particularly beautiful. We enjoy dining outside on a summer evening and, as the garden is fully enclosed and not overlooked, it’s always very private and quiet.” “We like to spend time in the large sitting room where we have hosted many family gatherings with ease.” “Grandborough is a lovely village in a wonderful area.” “The house and garden are perfect for entertaining. The downstairs rooms flow perfectly, and we open the double doors out to the patio to create a seamless indoors / outdoors space in the summer.” “We will miss the friendship of the entire village, but we are retiring to be next to the seaside. It will be hard to find another community and village like this.”* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
