SELLER INSIGHT Haynes and Sons (Daventry) Limited is a privately-owned, family company established in 1950. We’re passionate about building quality properties in quality locations and we’re very proud of our reputation. When we first saw this site, we immediately knew that it was a super spot just crying out for a good-sized, executive family home and we are really pleased with the finished result,” says Joe. “Braeburn House is a traditionally constructed property which has been carefully planned in accordance with the surrounding area. Our architects designed a home reminiscent of the arts and crafts influence that is very easy to maintain and our team couldn’t wait to get started on such a cracking property.” “Situated on a no through lane with no passing traffic, Braeburn House is perfectly located to reap the benefits of country living combined with easy access to local amenities. It’s just a short walk to Draycote Water which is ideal for walking, cycling, sailing and windsurfing, whilst Dunchurch is a great village with some lovely shops and restaurants, as well as a good choice of clubs and activities. Transport links are impressive too with excellent road and rail networks, as well as Birmingham International Airport.” “The house and garden are perfect for day-to-day family life and entertaining. The spacious garden has a level lawn, mature trees and an Indian stone patio that is ideal for al fresco dining and BBQs. The kitchen is out of this world and offers the opportunity to spend time together dining and relaxing on a comfortable sofa in the sitting area. Bifold doors lead out to the garden to create a fabulous entertaining space where guests can easily mingle inside and out.” “We’ve enjoyed designing and building Braeburn House. It has a traditional feel that works well alongside modern conveniences such as underfloor heating and CCTV which gives an added sense of security and peace of mind. It also benefits from a picturesque outlook over paddocks, fields and Grade II listed buildings. If I had to choose my favourite design feature, I wouldn’t be able to decide between the kitchen, amazing en suite to the master bedroom or the oak staircase that leads to the gallery landing. It will look superb with an impressive chandelier and chaise longue to just finish it off,” concludes Joe.* * These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property.

LOCAL AREA The property is located on the edge of the picturesque village of Dunchurch just 3 miles south of Rugby. It was once a popular coaching post on the road from London to Holyhead for people going to Ireland over 40 coaches a day used to pass through here. Due to its popularity as a coaching village many famous people are known to have passed through - including Princess Victoria (later to be Queen) and the highwayman Dick Turpin. The village is also known as ‘the gunpowder plot’ village - as it was here that on the 5th of November 1605 the Gunpowder plot conspirators met at the Old Red Lion Inn to await the news of Guy Fawkes attempt to blow up parliament. Today it has essential shops for everyday needs including a pharmacy, post office and hairdresser. There is also a doctor’s surgery, dentist, library and plenty of pubs and eateries. The village has a primary school and local Montessori Nursery in the grounds of Bilton Grange. Bilton Grange - one of the UK’s top boarding and day prep schools for children aged 4 to 13 – can be accessed in a 5-minute walk from Miles End down a leafy back lane. Within a 3-mile radius there is also a selection of state schools, two grammar schools and Rugby Public School. The property is 26 miles away from Solihull (about 40 minutes by car). Rugby train station (just 4 miles away) can get you into London in under 50 minutes. The M45, M1, M6 and M40 are all readily accessible with Birmingham, Stratford-On- Avon, Coventry, Northampton, Leicester and Warwick all within commuting distance. Just a 30-minute drive away and you are also in the Cotswolds. Birmingham International is the nearest airport about 22 miles away. There is no shortage of local attractions. In the next village, Thurlaston, there is an 18-hole golf course. Also, on the doorstep is Draycote Water and country park - a 650-acre reservoir used for sailing, windsurfing, fly fishing and bird watching. It is popular with walkers and cyclists. Toft Alpacas is based on the banks of the reservoir and the animals can be seen from the road surrounding Draycote.
