1 The Birches Church Walk Bilton Rugby Warwickshire CV22 7LX

2 THE BIRCHES It was the charmingly individual character of The Birches which first appealed to its current owners, the four bed detached house having an unusual split level layout which perfectly suited the multigenerational needs of their family. This is not your standard house, they say, its quirkiness being the very thing we love about it! Additionally, the layout is such that my parents could live with us yet maintain their independence, with their own living room as well as large bedroom with en suite, separate yet within the same house.

8 Seller Insight It was the charmingly individual character of The Birches which first appealed to its current owners, the four bed detached house having an unusual split level layout which perfectly suited the multigenerational needs of their family. This is not your standard house, they say, its quirkiness being the very thing we love about it! Additionally, the layout is such that my parents could live with us yet maintain their independence, with their own living room as well as large bedroom with en suite, separate yet within the same house. Since moving in, the owners have made various improvements to the property. In terms of décor, we essentially gutted the whole house and began again, they say, lightening up the living accommodation and making our new home feel brighter, more spacious and modern. The house sits amidst easy maintenance gardens with a decking area perfect for al fresco dining and summer barbecues. Set over two levels, the rear garden is mostly laid to lawn, say the owners, so requires minimal work whilst providing a lovely place to relax in the warmer months. In a sought after location on Church Walk in the Warwickshire village of Bilton, The Birches is within easy reach of outstanding schools and local amenities. Bilton itself is full of historic character, the village green having the remains of an ancient cross and stocks, and coming alive with a show stopping spread of crocus each Spring. The village boasts two pubs, two supermarkets, a doctors surgery, chemist, butcher, delicatessen and three churches. Good bus routes and roads offer convenient access to the centre of Rugby and its railway station, just 1.5 miles away, for trains to London Euston in less than 50 minutes. The village is ideally placed for access to the A45, M45, M1 and M6, too. Though the situation of The Birches is wonderfully quiet, the village is well served with every convenience. We shall miss waking up to the peal of the church bells on a Sunday morning. The family living room is spacious and light, with large windows, so feels like an easy, relaxed place to spend time. The garden is ideal for summer entertaining, with a decked area leading from the house and a built in barbecue further down the garden. * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.
