This beautifully presented home is situated in a peaceful cul de sac position within the charming and sought after village of Long Itchington having excellent local schools, thriving public houses and great links to local towns and cities.
Upon entering the home you are greeted by an open porch which leads seamlessly into the dining room and the formal lounge to the right. The lounge offers fantastic proportions and a front aspect views. the dining room which was formerly the garage is a great multi purpose room for dining or living. To the rear you have the recently renovated kitchen offering shaker style units, built in appliances and quartz work surfaces. The kitchen has a rear outlook to the garden and plenty of natural light through the well placed velux windows. A bathroom is also located on the ground floor and offers beautiful aesthetics as well as practicality.

The three further bedrooms are also well proportioned whilst bedroom three is currently being sued as a laundry room.

To the front the home offers off street parking and direct access to the garage which is used for storage.
Sellers Story - We purchased the property as we were looking for a project and it was an original 70's house that desperately needed modernizing/upgrading. The main reason it caught our eye was the location and seeing the potential to turn it into a lovely family home to be enjoyed.
We have had many good times here, nice friendly neighbours (one even mows our front verge for us!), plenty of parking and in a cute village with great amenities including a well-stocked Co-op just around the corner, lots of places to eat out, and a lots of walking/cycling trails nearby.
We love the light & airy kitchen with its high vaulted ceiling and skylights. Nothing beats a sunny evening with the bi-fold window open, music playing through the ceiling speakers, cooking our favourite meal together. We also love the downstairs bathroom with it's gorgeous feature wall and quirky taps that everybody admires! The laundry/dressing room is also a really handy space that we use a lot... and the best part is that it's all removable if a future owner wants to turn it back into a bedroom.
Starting our married life together in a gorgeously styled house where everything is new and fresh. We also enjoy the village fireworks show from a prime viewing spot in the laundry room!
We have enjoyed entertaining friends and family as the living space is so practical. We also appreciate daily how quiet and safe the village is, especially since the road isn't a through road so there's not very many vehicles that go past.
We will miss everything being new and high quality; the house was meant to be a forever home, so everything has been done to a very high standard; unfortunately sometimes life has plans of its own, and we didn't foresee moving away quite so soon. We have lovely neighbours that look out for us, and we love the atmosphere in the village. We will also miss the nice private garden with its frequent friendly visitors including robins and blue tits, and the plant surprises we discover as the seasons change such as the quince and peonies.
Between 2020 & 2022, we completely renovated the interior of the property, including all fixtures and fittings.
During renovations, the downstairs floorplan was changed extensively to make it more practical and better use of space. The rear part of the garage was opened up into the house to make a new dining room. We added a second bathroom and also created a laundry/dressing room upstairs.
The property has a large new combi-boiler and new electrics and plumbing throughout. All the ground floor rooms have new ceilings and insulation. New modern radiators have been installed on the ground floor and heated towel rails in bathrooms. New carpets and flooring throughout the house. Ceiling speakers for ambient sound have been installed in most rooms in the house, with a control panel under the stairs for easy access. There is a new Mitsubishi air conditioning unit in the master bedroom, with capacity to add another unit to the living or bedroom spaces in the future. The loft has been mostly lined and carpeted, with the addition of lighting and a new fire-rated loft hatch making a superb storage space.
A new Wren kitchen was installed at the end of 2021 with all new mid-to-high-end integral appliances (fridge/freezer, dishwasher, double oven, bar fridge), plinth vacuum, Carrara Quartz worktops, concealed under-counter lighting, induction hob, integrated/hidden rangehood, soft close cupboards and drawers, pull-out pantry units, cabinet to house the microwave, touch activated mixer tap with spray function, and oversized sink with insinkerator. A pocket fire door leads from the kitchen into the lounge which has a new electric fire and inbuilt feature shelves.
A new bathroom was created on the ground floor that features a bespoke Graham & Green mural, large freestanding bath with feature tap, a separate rain-head shower with marble tiling, toilet, and large vanity storage unit with feature taps.
The first floor also has a new shower room with stunning herringbone marble tiles and a wet-room style rain-head shower. The landing features a bespoke Graham & Green mural. Bedroom 2 has a large walk-in closet with built-in shelving that extends over the stairs. Bedroom 4 has been converted into a useful laundry/dressing room with removable storage units meaning it can be converted easily back into a bedroom if needed.
There is plenty of room under the stairs for inbuilt storage, dog digs, or another feature of choice for the new owners.
We have also tidied up the exterior of the property by removing ivy invasion, creating a new driveway, edgings, fencing and hedging. The gates have a duct running between them ready for cables to make them automatic, and the hedge has a built-in irrigation system. The garage features a new electric roller door. The house has a Ring security system installed, including a doorbell on the front door and cameras/floodlights covering both the front and back gardens. We had the roofing redone on the rear extension and installed 3 Velux Skylights and a bi-fold window that opens onto the garden. The external walls have recently been rendered with a Johnstone's silicone render.
Location - Situated on the banks of the River Itchen and the Grand Union Canal, Long Itchington is an ancient village in the Stratford-on-Avon district that was 20 times bigger than Birmingham when the Domesday Book was written.
Despite the idyllic rural setting, the popular village is conveniently located on the A423 for commuting into Rugby, Coventry, Banbury, Daventry, Leamington Spa and Warwick. This means residents can enjoy the peace and quiet of village life, while still having easy access to all the amenities and attractions of the city. Travel links are excellent, with easy access to the M40, M1, M6 and M69 as well as rail links from Leamington Spa, Coventry, Rugby and Banbury into London and Birmingham and reliable local bus services.
Long Itchington has a thriving social and community spirit and offers excellent amenities including a Co-op supermarket, hairdresser, seven country pubs, a diner, the Holy Trinity Church, congregational chapel, community centre, allotments, numerous playgrounds and a park with skate ramp, as well as a number of local interest groups and sport clubs. There is pre-school and primary education within the village, and nearby Southam offers secondary schooling and sports and leisure facilities.
