Five Bedroom Detached Property For Sale in Dunchurch, Rugby.
‘Oakside’ is a five bedroom detached property for sale in Dunchurch, set within a great position just outside the village centre and within easy walking distance of all the amenities that this popular and vibrant village has to offer.
It’s fair to say that this property looks quite modest from the outside, and when originally built, it probably started out being just that, but don’t be fooled! There’s a surprising amount of space behind this front door that isn’t apparent at first glance.
So firstly, the good news is that this substantially extended property is VACANT and there will be NO UPPER CHAIN.
Whilst it isn’t compulsory, steps have been taken, using our ‘Express Sale Method’ to allow a quick exchange and completion to happen should the successful buyer be in a position to proceed quickly.
The sale pack is ready with the sellers' solicitors, with searches on file already (costs to be reimbursed by the purchaser on completion) and can be sent straight to your solicitor just as soon as your offer is accepted.
This isn’t a reflection on the property…just a method that we have now been successfully using for a while to help buyers and sellers move more quickly.
To help you with the process, we also have a team who will be on hand to help make this happen for you and we will be happy to explain how an express sale can benefit you as a buyer as well, so if you need any help with mortgage advice, solicitors or general buying advice then please, just ask.
Okay, so back to the property….
Since moving here 25 years ago, the current owner substantially extended both the accommodation and the garden size of this property, by adding a large double storey extension and conservatory and by acquiring additional garden space from a neighbouring property.
This has created a very pleasing and adaptable family home, where the rooms have been used and enjoyed in many different ways to accommodate the needs of a growing family.
A perfect example of this, is upon entering the property from the porch and hallway, the first room you come to is ‘the snug’. It would have originally been the dining room prior to the extension but has also been used by the family as a playroom and office too! Now it’s a lovely sunny room to relax and read a book or do a bit of work if needs be!
The lounge is in the middle of the house and has a fireplace as its focal point. Lovely glazed double doors between here and the kitchen have parliament hinges, allowing the doors to fold right back and for the two spaces to open up beautifully with one another.
The kitchen - well what can I say...its huge!
Occupying the full footprint of the double storey extension that was added in 2010, this amazing space really is the hub of the house. It’s a great entertaining space and a lot of fun has been had by all here over the years.
"This has been such a wonderful space for entertaining. There have been lots of fun times here having our friends over to stay. Often there would be three couples and eight girls between us all laughing and being silly together, followed by breakfast the following morning where we would all pile around two large tables in the kitchen, whilst cooking the breakfast outside on the BBQ - really fun times made easy by the great space and layout of this house."
Of course, you may choose to update the units if you’re looking for something a little more contemporary, but the kitchen has been built to a high standard and has clearly been very well cared for and remains in great condition, complete with integrated appliances. It’s a fantastic space with plenty of potential to tailor and style over time, should you wish to put your own stamp on it.
Bi-fold doors lead into an additional conservatory which, again, can be fully pushed back to open up the space to the kitchen, extending the space even further! You’ve got a great view of the garden from here and double doors to lead you out to the patio area.
In addition to all of this, to the ground floor you also have a downstairs cloakroom/wc and a utility room to the rear of the garage, easily accessible from the kitchen.
To the first floor you have five bedrooms. Four of which are doubles, the fifth is a single, which I have been reliably informed that despite appearing to be small, the ‘L’ shape can accommodate a single bed in either direction. It’s a lovely sunny room facing the front of the house which also benefits from a good-sized storage cupboard. If you didn’t need all five to be bedrooms, I think it would make a lovely office.
Two double bedrooms and the family bathroom occupy the original part of the house, then two further bedrooms, including the main bedroom with ensuite shower room are located in the extended part to the rear of the property, overlooking the garden.
There’s plenty of storage here too. Particularly in the main bedroom where behind the sliding wardrobe doors there is an amazing amount of storage that occupies the eaves space too.
The family bathroom has both a bath and separate corner shower cubicle, whilst the ensuite shower room has a double shower tray with a rainforest style shower.
The property is in good condition and has recently benefitted from a fresh lick of paint, so you can move straight in and start enjoying it just as it is, yet it still offers great potential to adapt and modify further to your own requirements if you wish.
Outside to the front, there is parking for two to three cars as well as access to an extra long garage with an electric roller door. Double doors at the rear lead into the utility room that is positioned behind, whilst patio doors then lead from here to the garden, allowing for larger objects to be easily transported from the drive to the rear garden.
The garden is in excess of 90 feet long and is mainly made up of a patio and a long lawned area with mature beds.
There are various timber outbuildings but the ‘Garden Bar’ at the bottom of the garden is where all the fun is to be had!
This has been used as a very sociable entertaining space. The glitter ball is a hint to all that!! There are double doors, power and lighting and a great view of the garden. Of course, you could also use it as a gym or a place to work from home. What would you use it for?
Dunchurch itself is a village approximately three miles southwest of Rugby and is notably famous for its connections with Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot. The thriving village centre, which has been declared as a conservation area, due to its many buildings of historical interest, offers a great selection of local amenities including shops, cafes, restaurants and traditional pubs, as well as a doctor’s surgery and post office, all within easy walking distance.
For families, there are well-regarded schools in the vicinity including Dunchurch Boughton Infant and Junior Academies as well as Bilton Grange Preparatory School.
The location also benefits from good transport links providing access to major road networks including the M45, M1, M6 and M40, and Rugby railway station offering fast mainline services to London Euston.
All in all, this makes for an excellent family home. If you would like any further information or would like to come and view the property for yourself, please give the friendly team at Campbells a call and we’ll be happy to help you further.
