Sellers Story

9 Morningside has been our family home for over 50 years. Our experience of living here has been nothing short of fantastic. It offers a quiet and peaceful haven in the heart of Earlsdon, with easy access to the bustle of Coventry city centre (10-minute walk). With three beautiful local parks just a few minutes’ walk away, as well Coventry City Train Station (5-minute walk) and an excellent choice of local schools on the doorstep it provided us with a perfect location for a family home. As a closed road street (cul-de-sac) it offers a quiet and safe place for children to play with very little traffic and a strong sense of community.

We have loved its proximity to areas such as the Cotswolds, just a stone’s throw away from Coventry: It is like having a perpetual invitation to a symphony of natural beauty and endless adventure. Within 45 minutes you are in rolling hills, quaint villages, and lush landscapes. As outdoor enthusiasts, we have loved activities from leisurely walks with our dogs along the Cotswold Way, cycling through picturesque trails, great farm-to-table dining and local markets.

The location of our home also provides a fantastic stepping stone to other local gems including Stratford Upon Avon (particularly for the theatre), Leamington Spa (shopping), Birmingham (concerts and night life) Warwick (the famous castle) and a bit further afield Cannock Chase (excellent mountain biking and walking) and the Malvern Hills – an area of outstanding natural beauty overlooking the River Severn valley.

Our favourite room would have to be a choice between the conservatory (beautifully warm when the sun is out, all year round) and with views of the garden, alongside the home office / library which is very peaceful to work from, or the loft extension which offers a whole other floor to the house. If I had to pick one, it would be the loft extension thanks to its views and the fact you have a whole floor to yourself!

We hosted many events here from dinner parties to family birthdays and they were all memorable. I think the ones we hosted in the summer where we opened up the dining room and conservatory to host some 20 guests was a feat in itself, but thanks to generously apportioned rooms we could do so with ease and friends and relatives had plenty of space to be comfortable as well as easy access to the garden.

We have loved the fact that we can access so many fantastic places from Coventry. On a practical level, the proximity to the local school (King Henry VIII) was probably one of the most attractive features of the location as it is literally on the doorstep and made the ‘school run’ very straightforward.

There is a strong sense of community in the neighbourhood and some families have been here for 2 generations (which underscores the attractiveness of the area) and as such really look out for each other. We have made lifelong friends here who have been there for us when we needed them most and this is not something would you easily find in other big cities. Professional circumstances require us to sell, otherwise we would very happily stay!

The house dates from the 1920s and we extended both the kitchen and 1st floor garden facing bedroom out as well as putting in a conservatory and loft extension, with ensuite bathroom in the early 1990s. The house was completely refurbished and rewired in 2009, and in 2020 we replaced the conservatory with a brand new one with better insulated windows and electronic vents. A new combi-boiler was installed in 2023.
