A highly desirable urban abode with a gated driveway, ample parking and a well-designed and easy-to-maintain garden, the property has been modernised and maintained to a high-standard by the current owners. ‘We had already lived in Leamington for three years when we were on the hunt for a house specifically in this part of town; the tree-lined avenues and proximity to the town centre make it very desirable indeed. The unique features of a gated driveway, parking and a garden are all a rarity in the immediate area, plus the size of the house with its generous bedrooms gave us space for guests to stay as well as a home office. Just a stroll away from a wealth of restaurants, cafes and shops, the town’s three parks and the railway station – from here you can reach London in just over an hour and Birmingham in just under half an hour – the location couldn’t be more convenient. The impressive Regency high street is reached via a number of smaller streets with independent retailers including boutiques, bakeries, fishmongers and butchers giving the immediate area a village feel.’ ‘Wigg House has an abundance of good qualities, from an Ideal location to having plenty of space for hosting social gatherings. The garden is south facing, low-maintenance and secluded – it’s a real oasis in the town centre. We very much enjoy summer days with the two sets of French doors open to the garden and cosy winter evenings in the upstairs family/TV room.’ ‘The neighbours are very friendly and there are often invitations to seasonal get-togethers, even from people we may not know that well. Everyone is always willing to help out or stop for a chat and the area has a real sense of community.’ ‘Schools for all ages are within easy reach of the house, some within walking distance. To make countrywide travel easy, access to the M40, M69, M45 and M1 is good. Leamington has a plethora of places of interest, including the famous Royal Pump Rooms and Baths. The ornamental award-winning Jephson Gardens and The Glass House, a large greenhouse housing rare and tropical plants, are just a short walk away.’ ‘We’ll really miss the convenience, space and sense of community.’* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
