Three Bedroom Detached Property For Sale In Clifton-Upon-Dunsmore, Rugby.

Three Bedroom Detached Property For Sale in Clifton-upon-Dunsmore, Rugby.

This three bedroom detached property for sale in Clifton upon Dunsmore is a little bit special in my opinion.

Built in 1964, it has been a lovely happy home, occupied by the same family for 60 years.

It’s been extended and well cared for, but it’s fair to say that it is now a bit dated and ready for a new family to come and put their mark on it and set down roots of their own.

Why is it special? Well, there are very few detached properties in Clifton now that fall within this kind of price range and offer this kind of opportunity.

There is such a feeling of warmth here, that you can easily look past the fact that it's dated now. Those material things can be changed in time, but the welcoming feeling you get from this home is immediately evident.

It’s already had a ground floor wrap-around extension, so does give a little more room than you’d expect, but there’s further opportunities here, to open it out for more contemporary living, or to extend it further (subject to the usual planning consents of course) and really make it a modern home for the future.

I’m a big fan of this era of property. What they lack in architectural design, they make up for with their big windows and generous, light rooms.

Briefly, the accommodation consists of three bedrooms and a bathroom to the first floor, all leading off a generous landing. There are two good-sized double bedrooms; one with built in furniture, and a smaller single bedroom.

The landing gives access via a pull-down ladder to a good sized loft space, which, in my opinion could well be suitable for conversion, but of course, you would need to make your own enquiries about that to check the feasibility.

The ground floor has also been extended to the front, creating a more generous entrance hall with downstairs cloakroom, and the rest of the rooms lead off from here.

The Lounge has a large window facing the front garden and double doors leading into the separate dining room, which also has a door leading out to the rear garden. It’s a great arrangement if you’re entertaining and want to create a more open space.

“It was always a very busy home over Christmas and Easter, with big meals enjoyed by all the family, grandparents and visiting neighbours.”

The kitchen is a lovely bright space, overlooking the garden with a door leading out to the side of the house. I know, it’s a bit old fashioned now, but it’s perfectly useable until you decide on the changes you want to make. Plus its got a very cute little pantry!

“I remember fondly baking with Mum on a Sunday afternoon, and making the Christmas cake and pudding at Christmas.”

When the rear extension was added, not only did it add extra length to both the kitchen and dining room, but it also created an additional room which has been used most recently as an office. For those working from home it’s an ideal space for that same purpose, but it would equally make a great playroom for the kids, especially if you’d like to close the door and hide away all their paraphernalia!

You’ll see from the floorplan that the kitchen, dining room and office are adjacent to each other. Just image if that could all be opened up to one big room..... Just and idea!
The overall plot is quite generous. You have plenty of parking to the from that leads up to the garage. This too became longer when the rear extension was added, making it about 20’ long now.

To the right of the property there is plenty of space for caravan/ campervan storage behind the gates, or a further opportunity maybe to extend?

There are lovely gardens to both the front and the rear that have been a very much loved part of this home. Full of sunshine when our crazy weather permits it and a peaceful place to relax and unwind.

“Mum loved the garden and enjoyed gardening at all hours of the day and night! She also loved to give lots of cuttings away to friends and family!”

Conjuring up family memories of enjoying afternoon teas with family and friends, playing on the swing as a little girl, sitting with a coffee in the sunshine with Mum, and the granddaughter remembering fondly playing with the water sprinkler in the back garden. This clearly has been a garden enjoyed by generations of this family.

If you’re unfamiliar with the village, Clifton is roughly 2 miles Northeast of Rugby near the Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, and Warwickshire border. It offers excellent road and motorway access having the M6, M1, A5 & A14 nearby and the local railway station allows the commuter to get to Euston in less than 58 minutes.

The village has a safe and friendly community feel to it. A perfect place to raise a family; Being close enough to Rugby for all manner of amenities yet with all the feel of the countryside around you, where you can find some lovely local walks nearby across the fields and along the canal and disused railway line.

The village itself has an excellent village store, a pub, café, church, hairdresser, and beautician as well as a sports physio and Brownie shop. There is also a recreational ground with play area for the little ones and tennis courts accessible from South Road.

Does this feel like the sort of place that you would like to make your next home?
