SELLER INSIGHT Located on the south side of the historic Warwickshire town of Rugby, this modern Arts & Crafts influenced family home occupies a secluded spot in a quiet, tucked away private drive. Detached, and with a layout which wastes no space, the accommodation is generous with a great flow. Built in 2005, the property has been updated and redecorated throughout, including landscaping to the front and rear. A home which offers a peaceful, but convenient lifestyle, a warm welcome and a wealth of space, it is the ideal place to enjoy family life and home entertaining. ‘The layout of the house is most definitely one of its best features; all rooms are generous and the flow downstairs between the two main reception rooms and the large family kitchen is excellent. Inside-to-outside living is made easy by two sets of French doors which open out onto a 100-square-metre patio, an arrangement which lends itself perfectly to entertaining. Romney Place is pleasantly tucked away, yet is only moments away from the town centre and all its excellent amenities. Being built on the former gardens of ‘Shepherds Hay’ means it is surrounded by mature trees, something which has always given a feel of permanence and peacefulness. It’s a delightfully quiet enclave which has been a real joy to live in with our family over the past 16 years.’ ‘Favourite rooms are the study for its cosy ambience and the kitchen which is bright, well laid out and a dream to cook in. Whether you are home alone or have a house full of family and guests, we’ve always found the house to have a warm and welcoming feel.’ ‘Neighbours within Romney Place change very infrequently, and whilst good friendships have been made over the years everyone’s privacy is respected.’ ‘The convenience of living here is excellent, especially as so much can be reached on foot, be it local shops, schools, restaurants and bars, or good country walks and village pubs.’ ‘We’ve greatly enjoyed the outdoor space and have hosted some fabulous events; one year we held a wonderful summer birthday garden party for 50 people with a small band playing and private catering. Many dinner parties have been enjoyed too, both in the dining room during the colder months and al-fresco in the summer. The patio gets full-sun all-day-long, so there is lots of outdoor living to be enjoyed at number 3!’* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
