KEY FEATURES

Entering under a pillared canopy into the porch you are given access to a generous entrance hall. The entrance hall is light and airy and the space this house provides can be felt immediately, giving access to a large sitting room with bay windows looking out to the front and doors out to the rear garden. To the rear, the property has a lovely dining room and beautifully fitted kitchen, these rooms are divided by a hallway with a single door out to the rear garden terrace. There is great scope here to create a wonderful kitchen/breakfast room with bi-folding doors out to the rear garden if desired. There is a separate utility which provides access to the integral double garage, this could also become extra living space if required as there is also off-road parking for several vehicles. Leading off from the entrance hall, there is a downstairs cloakroom with a toilet and sink, and access to the stairs rising to the first floor.

SELLER INSIGHT We have lived here for 34 years and it was the location and size of the house that first attracted us, as we had two young

sons at the time. The large garden meant that they could play safely with their friends and our daughter completed our family the year after we moved in. We have all enjoyed living in such a lovely, family home,” recall the current owners.

“The garden has had several makeovers and now features a pretty stream and waterfall running into a small pond which attracts a lot of wildlife. We really enjoy watching the birds taking their daily baths! There are several, sunny seating areas in the garden and this space has proved to be fantastic for hosting many family gatherings, christenings, BBQs and bonfire parties along with more than 60 guests. We love the flexibility of the outdoor space and the relaxing atmosphere it provides.”

“We are lucky to live in such a friendly area with great amenities. There is a local surgery, library, Post Office, dentist, chemist, hairdressers, shops, local pubs, fish & chip shop and a takeaway all within walking distance. There are excellent school facilities in the local area which was important to us too. We are about 10 minutes from Leamington railway station which provides a great service to London Marylebone and Birmingham, and there is a regular bus service to surrounding areas, as well as a good retail park just 10 minutes away. Perhaps the icing on the cake though is Leamington & County Golf Club which is just a few minutes’ walk away. The club is over 100 years old and, as well as providing an excellent course, has a thriving social scene.”

“It’s hard to choose just one favourite room as we use them all! We love relaxing in our sitting room which has been the scene of some wonderful parties and celebrations, whilst the dining room is great for more formal gatherings and especially Christmas lunch. The kitchen is the heart of the home and is ideal for everyday dining and the bedrooms provide the perfect place to relax in your own space.”

“We have loved living here as it’s been a wonderful family home. Our children are now all grown up and have their own families, so it is time for us to downsize and let another family enjoy what has been our happy home for so many years,” conclude the current owners.*

LOCAL AREAWhitnash once a village is a small town neighbouring Leamington Spa and a short drive from Warwick.

Located south of Leamington this vibrant town is renowned for its excellent connections to the M40 and easy access to the Leamington spa train station, superb junior and middle schools which in turn provide catchment for the reputable secondary schools. There is a great spirit of community which attracts many people from nearby villages and towns.

Whitnash is well stocked with four public houses, a welcoming sports & social club incorporating tennis courts, bowling green, rugby and football pitches. The town provides three parks with up to date playing equipment and open spaces for all the family to enjoy. There are a number of shops and services including several hair salons, three well-stocked convenience stores, butchers, post office, chemist and various others.

The nearest major town is Royal Leamington Spa renowned for its Victorian painted stucco villas and beautiful Regency houses, much of the charm of nineteenth-century planning can still be found in and around the town which is known as the Bath of the Midlands.

The Famous Parade runs through the middle of Royal Leamington Spa where you will find an array of good shopping, wonderful bars and restaurants and great schooling both state and private. Access to the Midland motorway network including M40 & M42 is close by via junctions 13 & 15. Trains into London Marylebone are from Leamington station and Birmingham International Airport is only ½ an hour away. In 2015 the historic town of Leamington Spa was voted the third best place to live in the UK by the Times national newspaper and in 2017 the paper named Leamington the happiest place to live. In 2018 the Times named the neighbouring County town Warwick the best place to live in the UK, so the area is becoming highly desirable. Many people are drawn to the area by the excellent schooling facilities available, shops, parks and surrounding countryside. After a visit to the town, it was granted a Royal prefix in 1838 by Queen Victoria and was renamed Royal Leamington Spa from Leamington Priors. The town is split by the River Leam which runs east to west through the town. It was on these banks that the Pump Rooms were built for people to bathe in salty spa water to heal their ailments. As a previous Britain in bloom winner, the town has several key parks including Jephson Gardens, Victoria Park, Royal Pump Room Gardens, Mill gardens, The Dell and Newbold Comyn. The town is also known for its excellent schooling facilities. Within easy reach are state, grammar and private schools to suit most requirements including Warwick Prep and Public Schools and Kings High School for Girls. Arnold Lodge School and Kingsley School for Girls in Leamington, The Croft Prep School and grammar schools are in Stratford-upon Avon. Leamington Spa is also just seven miles from the world-famous Warwick University. Warwick Parkway, Leamington Spa and Coventry offer direct rail services to London in just over an hour and Birmingham in twenty-six minutes.
