A Note from the Owners
“This house has been a much-loved family home filled with wonderful memories, and we will be sad to see it go, but it has now beautifully outlived its purpose for us. We have recently redecorated throughout and upgraded the entire perimeter with high-specification, insurance-compliant security locks for total peace of mind.
The property is incredibly convenient. Having the War Memorial Park right on your doorstep offers beautiful daily walks, and for golfers, two of Coventry’s premier private members clubs—Finham and Hearsall—are within easy reach. The location perfectly balances the tranquility of the outskirts with the connectivity of the city, offering rapid access to Leamington Spa, Stratford-upon-Avon, and major motorway networks. It truly does have it all.”
