Wonderful 4 bedroomed family home ready to make a mountain of memories !
If you are looking for a fantastic family home in a wonderful semi-rural location, hot wired for the busiest home worker and with the space to meet the needs of a growing family, then this could be for you. This character-full property, is quietly situated overlooking the wonderful woodland of Kenilworth Common Nature Park, just a short stroll to the historic high street of the market town of Kenilworth
This sought after location is regarded by many as an aspirational place to live, thanks to the array of incredible independent businesses, fantastic transport links, accessibility to some of the best regarded schools many wonderful green spaces with great cycle paths that pass right by the property to Balsall Common or to nearby Warwick University.
The current owners were attracted to this fabulous home after searching across the south Warwickshire area for a semi-rural location and characterful property that would meet all their needs - a garage for the vintage sports car, a living area for a great AV experience, great outdoor space for entertaining and the space for a growing family. The owners have fully lived-in and loved this property, with memories across the ages - walking though the wooded common to school, playing and fishing in Finham Brook, evening strolls around the local pubs and of the wonderful, safe and nurturing environment the house and area offered their family to grow.
The property itself is quite unique in its architectural style, with a lovely character-full façade and reflections of the shapes and contours of the façade in the brickwork. However, don’t be fooled, whilst the house looks quite cottagey from the outside with its pretty and striking eyebrow dormer, once you step inside, it opens up into quite a space !
The front door leads us to a second interior door, with matching glass paneling and into the spacious hallway and off to the guest cloakroom, kitchen and reception rooms, where the incredible living space extends across the entire length of the property, with living and dining separated with bi-folding doors, which in turn leads to the conservatory and on to the wonderful gardens.
The current owners have changed the use of the rooms over the course of their family growing up, but what is sure is that the sitting area is where the main AV experience takes place - for home workers who need to be sure of a solid fixed connection this house has its own ‘Cat5e’ network with fixed network points in most rooms, this means you don’t need to rely on a Wi-Fi signal. These versatile rooms could serve a range of uses to suit the new homeowners, playroom, family room, dining/ living space.
The family kitchen accessed both via the hallway and the dining room is a lovely space to gather and share stories of the day with a newly fitted Pavilion Milan Granite vinyl floor.
Off the kitchen is a really superb and very useful utility room, with run of work surfaces, fabulous drying rails and storage in the ceiling height and plumbing to cope with multiple washing machines, and dryers !
The house has been newly carpeted throughout and the walls are Ammonite Grey, which seems to change according to the light in each room. As well as the four fabulous bedrooms there is a huge attic space accessed from the hallway with easy fold down ladder, fully boarded and insulated and with electricity. It is here that the internet cables drop down into the rooms and from where you can access the water services, you can even sit up here and have a chat as I did !
Now this house is hiding a very big surprise in the garden which will delight teenagers and adults alike. And what I was introduced to by the current owner as ‘The Garden Shed’ ! But what is actually a fully equipped, double-glazed, solid wood Lillevilla 220 Three room log cabin !
Now this is really a massive plus in today's home-working world, a totally independent and completely fitted out with enough tech to put many offices in the shade, with independent hard-wired secure network with 3 fixed network sockets and BT phone socket, high tech lighting, heating, shower, WC and kitchen with fixed ladder to a mezzanine level for extra storage or an additional space. Used by its current owners as a music studio and office this could service almost any purpose from office to it, design, studio, music or maybe a garden retreat. Outside there is ambiance lighting fixed to the chalet and exterior speakers that tell of many a karaoke night - Now there are definitely some stories to be told here !
The terraces are laid with Stone Market, Honey Gold Millstone Flag Paving with Sun Ray Central feature with seven paved steps leading up to a garden area with a small pond and water feature, children’s play equipment and a ‘real’ garden shed, this one’s for the mower!
The single garage with raised ceiling height offers another fabulous storage area and is accessed via a driveway with newly laid moonstone chippings and with a beautiful wisteria climbing across the front.
Over the years, the current owners of this home have raised a family, raised glasses and created priceless memories in this special property. The home is now offered to the market for the next family to come along and create a new story, in what will undoubtedly be a very special family home for years to come.
The property is offered to the market with no onward chain and is now available for showings. Please contact me on the telephone number provided quoting reference JL0210 to further discuss this property.
