Rowan House Pages.indd 3 15/09/2016 15:53 Rowan House Pages.indd 4 15/09/2016 15:53 Ground Floor The property has an entrance porch with a double glazed entrance door and a further leaded glazed door preceding an entrance hall with a staircase leading to the first floor and doors that lead to the dining room, study, kitchen and cloakroom. Under the stairs there is a large cellar beneath the sitting room that provides a significant amount of useful storage. The cloakroom has a pedestal wash hand basin, a low level WC and a built in cupboard housing the electrical consumer unit which ‘doubles up’ as a useful pantry. The formal dining room has a dual aspect with double glazed doors leading to all of the rear terraces and a double glazed leaded window to the side aspect. The study is situated at the front of the house and has double glazed window to the front, timber floor, telephone and TV point; this could also be used as an additional snug or games room. The kitchen is situated at the front of the house with views across the frontage and foregardens via a double glazed leaded window. There is a variety of matching base and wall mounted units, electric halogen hob with extractor hood and built in Zanussi oven, a one and a half bowl sink and drainer and built in fridge freezer. There is also space and plumbing for a dishwasher. There is a door to the side and another door that leads to the utility room which has a letterbox window to the rear, space and plumbing for a washing machine, a sink and drainer with mixer tap, adjoining work surface and matching base and wall mounted units. There is a floor based oil fired combination boiler and flagstone floor that matches the kitchen. Steps from the hall, lead up to the sitting room which has an impressive vaulted ceiling andtwo double glazed windows to the side and a double glazed patio door that leads to the side terrace. There is a variety of exposed ceiling beams and a floor to ceiling contemporary style radiator. Further steps lead to the extension which was added by the present owners; at present this is used as a large music/hobby room with a semi-sprung timber floor - with very little imagination it could provide a potential purchaser with a larger kitchen/breakfast room. There are three Velux roof windows which provide ample natural light and double glazed patio doors that lead to the rear whilst three further double glazed windows and a double glazed door provide an impressive bay to the right hand side; again leading to the rear garden.

Rowan House Pages.indd 5 15/09/2016 15:53 Seller Insight Rowan House is a large and attractive family home that enjoys a superb location right in the heart of the sought after village of Flecknoe. “Before we happened upon Rowan House in 2001, we had been searching the length and breadth of Warwickshire for a new home, but it was proving incredibly difficult to find the right house in the right location,” says Alice, “and then we noticed an advert in the paper for this property. We decided to travel up to take a look, and fell for it straight away.” “It was built by a local contractor in 2000, but although it was brand new when we purchased it, it was still in need of a few finishing touches. We added all the fixtures and fittings and decorated throughout, but the biggest change came with the addition of the dance studio. It’s a lovely big light and bright room with a sprung floor and mirrored wall, and over the years has been well used for all of our creative activities. The rest of the house is spacious and bright and has a really welcoming feel throughout; it’s been a beautiful house to live in.” “What I particularly love is the fact that both the house and garden are incredibly peaceful and private, and yet we feel very much a part of a very vibrant village community,” says Alice. “There are all sorts of clubs and societies to join, a cricket team, an active church and a lovely pub that serves food. And a number of the school busses pass through the village, so it’s a beautiful place to bring up a family.” “The dance studio has become the real hub of our home,” says Alice. “We do all of our arts and crafts in there, it’s where we play our musical instruments and it also doubles as a yoga studio. It has doors that open onto the garden that can be flung open when the weather is warm, and it also has a little stove, which creates a cosy atmosphere in winter.” “I’ve enjoyed the lifestyle that the location has afforded us,” says Alice. “I love being a part of village life, but I also like the fact that I can hop in the car and be in Daventry in ten minutes or Leamington Spa in under half an hour. It’s a fantastic place to live.” “We have a double garage above which is an incredibly useful space,” says Alice. “We used it as a home gym, but it could also be used as an office, a games room… there are endless possibilities.”* Rowan House Pages.indd 6 15/09/2016 15:53 Rowan House Pages.indd 7 15/09/2016 15:53 What will I miss? Everything about this house; I love it. It’s spacious, bright and airy and just has a really nice feel to it. It’s stunning as it is, but it also has so much potential to be enhanced further.
