Vendors Comments This five bedroom Victorian villa is a grand home indeed but also the perfect location for a young family. There is so much space at our home, says David. We expanded the house when we first bought it, to create a comfortable series of living spaces. The top floor has its own kitchen and provided an ideal space for our daughters when they were growing up. The property really does benefit from its spacious layout. As well as an upstairs annexe in the main house, there is also an external office attached to the garage, says Corinne. You can work in the office and have wonderful views of the garden. It is a lovely environment for work or hobbies.

There is so much we will miss about this home, continues Corinne. Its grandeur and its convenient location provide a perfect combination in our eyes. It is a family home through and through, both the house and location lend to this. The local facilities surrounding the house are suitable for those looking for commuter links to either London or Milton Keynes. David adds The train station is roughly a mile away, with Euston typically less than an hours travel. You could even walk to the train station if you wanted and the town is only a short distance away. Everything is so accessible; we have a bus stop directly outside our home which will take you straight into Coventry. We are also within easy reach of the M1, M6, A14 and A5, providing great links to London and surrounding airports. Continued.. The home has maintained many of its original features. This home was a gentlemans mansion divided into two substantial properties. The house still has working servants bells throughout. We have also maintained the original Victorian fireplaces. Explains Corinne. The dining room is also a fantastic feature room and is the centre of our home, it lends itself to entertaining guests and we will really miss the ambience created there.

As well as the dining room, the couple are especially fond of the grounds surrounding the house. The garden is our passion. The home has a stunning lawn and pathway leading up to it. It makes for a beautiful sight.

With so much space both internally and externally, we believe this home would suit a family looking to be close to both excellent schools (Rugby School is located nearby) and commuter links, conclude David and Corinne.
