2 Seller Insight This five bedroom, extended semi detached property at 8 Old Road provides the ideal family home, with all the charm and convenience of Southam market town on the doorstep. We immediately saw potential in the original three bedroom house, say the current owners, and have since transformed it into our five bedroom home. In doing so, we unleashed the property s full potential, and have never looked back! Beautifully light and spacious, the house has been thoughtfully extended to create an easy flow between the living spaces. Luxury touches such as underfloor heating in the snug and master bedroom provide the ultimate in comfortable family living, the Avanti kitchen and breakfast area serving as the hub of the home. The master bedroom is such a wonderful place to hide away and have some privacy, say the owners, while the family room is exactly that - a great place to be together and relax. The open plan dining and living spaces provide the perfect place for relaxed entertaining, leading through patio doors to a large courtyard garden which extends the home in the summer months for barbecues and al fresco dining. In addition, a double garage and sweeping driveway provide ample parking space for several cars, ideal for when family and friends come to visit. The property is beautifully situated close to the historic centre of market town Southam, which enjoys both a rural sense of community and the convenience of a town. The location was in fact the biggest draw of the property, say the owners, as the infrastructure within Southam makes life easy for a growing family. The commuter links, both public transport and motorway, make it ideal for work and pleasure. A range of shops includes a local grocery store, pharmacy, hairdressers, hardware store, newly built library, and larger supermarkets. Every Tuesday morning there is a weekly market, with a farmers market selling local produce taking place monthly. The town also boasts a post office, banks, doctor s surgeries, dentist, pubs, restaurants and cafes. There are three primary schools in Southam, as well as Southam College secondary school, which is rated outstanding by Ofsted. Princethorpe, Leamington Spa, Rugby and Warwick also offer excellent schooling opportunities in both the state and independent sectors. Our children having all grown up together here, the neighbourhood will be greatly missed by the whole family, say the owners. Southam is conveniently located between Coventry and Banbury on the A423, and is easily connected to the historic centres of Royal Leamington Spa, Warwick and Stratford-upon-Avon. Rugby is accessible too, with mainline railway links to Birmingham and London. Major road networks including the M40, M6, M69 and M1 are easily joined, too. We will struggle to find another property that has so much living space and storage. From a practical point of view, the amount of off street parking has always been a great asset and will be greatly missed. The most used room and the most communal space in the home has to be the kitchen, the design of which has never gone out of fashion. With so much living space, the property is ideal for entertaining, particularly in the summertime when you can throw open the patio doors and let guests spill out into the garden. A covered veranda and timber built summerhouse enable us to enjoy the outdoor space come rain or shine. The town has an active social calendar, with activities and groups including Guides and Cubs as well as various sports clubs, and the property is within catchment of well regarded local schools. * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
