Kelsey Lane, Balsall Common, Coventry

A rare find: nearly 2,000 sq ft of flexible family living, a self-contained garden entertaining space and room to grow, all behind gates.

Behind a gated entrance on Kelsey Lane, this four-bedroom detached home is built for the way families actually live. It offers around 1,991 sq ft over three floors, with space to spread out, host and work from home.

Downstairs

The ground floor flows through a generous family living room, a separate dining room and a cosy snug. Use them as distinct spaces or open them up for a sociable, open-plan feel. A ground floor shower room is a practical bonus for busy households and overnight guests. The well-proportioned kitchen has a separate utility room, so the everyday chaos stays out of sight.

Upstairs

The first floor has three generous bedrooms and a stylish family bathroom with both a walk-in shower and a separate bath. The landing is unusually spacious, with room for a reading nook or a quiet spot to sit. The top floor is a private retreat: a fourth bedroom with its own en-suite bathroom, ideal for a guest suite, teenager or main bedroom.

Outside

The rear garden is fully enclosed and entered through gates, with plenty of secure parking, so it works for children, pets and parties alike. The standout feature is the garden room with its own bar, along with a covered outdoor seating area for year-round entertaining, whatever the British weather decides to do.

A single garage has a versatile room above it, perfect as a home office, gym or hobby space. The garage also offers development potential (subject to the necessary consents).
