Seller Insight

As a builder myself, this property presented the perfect development opportunity,” says the current owner of this stunningly refurbished detached house at 20 Daventry Road. “We have since extended the living accommodation to the front, side and rear, as well as installing contemporary comforts such as underfloor heating and app controlled lighting, heating, security and water systems. Everything has been completed to the highest of specifications, with exquisite finishing and attention to detail throughout. One wouldn’t believe this is the same house that we bought a few years ago!”

“The property is ideal for everyday life and entertaining alike,” continue the owners, “with plenty of space both inside and out. Bi fold doors open out onto the patio, creating an easy flow between the indoor and outdoor spaces. Steps leading up to the lawn add interest to the long private garden, not overlooked by neighbours from any direction. The garden is enclosed by trimmed conifer bushes and fencing, so is the ideal place for children to run around and play.”

The location of the property also has much to offer, being set within the sought after village of Kilsby, just five miles south east of Rugby. “We have easy access to the M1 and M6 and excellent public transport links for commuting or travel,” say the owners, “while Rugby station provides rail services to London Euston in just 48 minutes. Kilsby has two pubs and a village shop, with Rugby town centre close by for a wider range of shops and amenities. Daventry is also nearby, and there is an excellent preschool and primary school in the village itself. This is the ideal location, close to everything that we need, but far enough out of town to enjoy the best of village life.”

“Our favourite space in the house is the spacious open plan kitchen diner, where we spend most of our time as a family or when entertaining friends.”

“We shall miss the space this property affords us, and it’s bright, airy feeling. We spend much of our time at the back of the house with natural light streaming in, and my wife has decorated the rooms with a modern scheme which makes it feel even more spacious.”

“The house and garden are perfect for entertaining large groups of people. We hosted 50 guests for a charity event last year, and could easily have accommodated 50 more!”

“The garden is impressively large and very private, making it ideal for al fresco entertaining and everyday family life, with plenty of space for children to enjoy being outdoors.”*
