Pytchley Road, Rugby CV22

Situated in the highly-regarded Southfields area of Hillmorton, this distinctive two-bedroom semi-detached property offers a great combination of space, location and opportunity.

The property is already well-equipped for modern family living, with two reception areas, two bedrooms, a private enclosed garden and parking for two cars. It also offers plenty of flexibility for a new owner to update, refresh and develop the property over time, making it a home with both immediate appeal and longer-term possibilities.

The front driveway provides off-road parking for two cars, while a side gate gives convenient access to the rear garden and bin storage area.

The entrance hallway has wood-effect laminate flooring, with the staircase positioned directly ahead.

To the front is a characterful reception room featuring 18mm solid oak flooring and a wood-burning stove set within a wooden surround with a white ceramic tiled hearth. A curved bay window adds character and natural light. Built-in cupboards occupy both chimney breast alcoves, finished in the property's distinctive red and black style, with floating shelves providing additional storage or display space.

At the rear of the property is the impressive open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, created by an extension which also incorporates a Velux window. The additional natural light, generous proportions and direct connection with the garden make this a particularly versatile space for both everyday living and entertaining. Double French doors open onto the patio, allowing the garden to become an extension of the living space during warmer months.

The kitchen is fitted with wall and base units, with a range of deep pan and pull-out drawers providing excellent and practical storage. The distinctive red and black colour scheme is complemented by frosted-glass cabinet panels and contemporary chrome handles. There is an integrated fan oven, induction hob, stainless steel extractor, black enamel sink, sparkly laminate worktop and glass splashback. The washing machine and large American-style fridge freezer are available by separate negotiation.

The room also accommodates a generous living area, with a large sofa included in the sale. A particularly clever feature is the concealed door within the end feature wall, which opens into the under-stairs storage area. This houses the fuse box and electricity meter, together with additional shelving so that vacuum cleaners and ironing boards can be kept out of sight. 

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms, providing plenty of flexibility for family life, guests, working from home or hobbies.

The principal bedroom is a good-sized double at the front of the property, with a large picture window and space for a king-size bed. Built-in, gloss red wardrobes and matching additional free-standing units provide substantial storage.

Bedroom Two is another good-sized double, currently used as a single bedroom. Positioned at the rear, it benefits from built-in storage above the staircase bulkhead, making excellent use of an otherwise redundant area. There is further room for freestanding drawer units and a tall cupboard.

The bathroom is fitted with a jacuzzi-style bath with a shower over, incorporating illuminating air and water jets. There is also a sink with drawers beneath, a heated chrome towel radiator and a WC with integrated bidet attachment. White gloss ceramic floor tiles are complemented by black ash-effect splashback panels.

Moving outside, the rear garden offers an enclosed retreat, with tall hedging and fencing all the way round. A paved patio immediately outside the kitchen provides a convenient area for outdoor dining and entertaining, leading onto the main lawn, which is laid with artificial grass. At the far end is a raised decking area and a large, full-width garden room. Both areas now require repair or replacement, but they demonstrate the generous footprint available and give the next owner plenty of options to consider.

For someone looking to put their own stamp on the property, there is clear opportunity to make the outside space work around their lifestyle – whether that means creating a dedicated home office, entertaining area, workshop or simply opening up more garden.

Location:

The property occupies a particularly popular position within Southfields, Hillmorton, ideally positioned for a combination of everyday convenience and proximity to open countryside. Hillmorton itself offers a good range of amenities including local shops, supermarkets, pubs, a hotel, post office and independent eateries.

The Queen Diamond Jubilee Centre, Rugby town centre and Rugby railway station are also all within easy reach. Rugby station is under three miles away, with trains reaching London in around 54 minutes.

The area is also well-regarded for its schooling, with Paddox Primary School and Ashlawn School Academy Trust both nearby and the property within their stated catchment areas. Other schools in the wider area include Lawrence Sheriff Grammar School, Squirrels Pre-School and Rugby School.

This is a home that offers far more than its current presentation alone. The generous layout, existing extension, two bedrooms, private garden and substantial garden room provide an excellent base, while the property also allows a new owner to gradually modernise and adapt it to their own tastes. For a first-time buyer, it offers the opportunity to acquire a home in a popular location and improve it over time. For a family, there is already plenty of space to enjoy, with flexibility to adapt as circumstances change. For an investor, the combination of location, accommodation and scope for enhancement is equally appealing.

A characterful home in a sought-after part of Hillmorton, offering comfortable accommodation today and exciting possibilities for tomorrow.
