SELLER INSIGHT What immediately struck us about this property was how different it was to any others we had seen,” say the current owners of this superb six bedroom detached Edwardian residence at 6 Moultrie Road. “Occupying a prominent

corner position set back from the road, it is a very elegant house. The fact that it lies at the heart of the Rugby School conservation area, within walking distance of Rugby town centre, was a large part of the attraction for us, too.”

Built in 1905, this substantial family home has been extended and sympathetically restored by the current owners to create a spacious, versatile family home, stretching over 6200 square feet. “Whilst aiming to make our home as comfortable and contemporary as possible, we have also taken care to retain many of the original period features which lend the house its unique character,” say the owners. “We have refitted the kitchen, replaced the windows, converted the loft space into additional living accommodation, and built a bright, airy orangery, where we now spend much of our time.”

The orangery provides a connection between the house itself and the picturesque yet low maintenance garden. “We have a simple garden with mature fruit trees, borders, and a relaxing patio area,” say the owners, “as well as a vegetable plot, tucked away at the bottom of the lawn. The garden is planted with seasonal flowers to provide colour all year round, come Winter, Summer or Spring.”

The location of the property has much to offer, too. “Having moved to Rugby from the small Scottish city of St. Andrew’s, we appreciated our new home’s small town feel,” say the owners, “and it was important to us that our son could walk to school. Our elderly parents lived in Leicester, while work was in Warwick, so Rugby was the perfect base from which to access these places. Our parents have now moved to Rugby too, and we all love the convenience of being able to walk to the shops, library, and railway station within just a few minutes. The motorway is just 5 minutes away too, making for an easy commute.”

“We basically live in the orangery, which flows from the kitchen and dining room out onto the garden. It is a wonderfully sunny, bright space, and the warmest in the house.”

“This is such a lovely road to live on, with only a handful of houses and a fantastic community of friendly neighbours. Being set back from the road, it is so beautifully private and quiet here, our own country haven in the middle of town!”

“We shall miss so many things about this happy family home, not least the fact that the living area faces the garden to provide a feeling of tranquillity and space. Even the utility room enjoys a pretty view!”

“The property is perfect for parties, one of its main attractions for us being the space it provides for welcoming family and friends. We have hosted everything from work functions for colleagues to our son’s engagement party here, with a marquee in the garden. The orangery and dining room open out onto the garden, creating the perfect indoor-outdoor entertaining space.”*

LOCAL AREARugby has grown to become Warwickshire’s second largest market town, boasting a variety of designer and high street shops, restaurants and pubs. Famed for its public school, the birth of rugby football and the Frank Whittle jet engine, Rugby is also home to the green open spaces of Caldecott Park, Coombe Abbey Country Park, Brownsover Hall and Draycote Water. With a range of excellent schools, Rugby is ideally placed for a well-rounded education. Equally so for transport too, thanks to its convenient motorway links and speedy rail services to Birmingham, Leicester and London Euston in around 50 minutes. Situated on the northern edge of Rugby, this location combines the relaxation of a semi-rural retreat by the River Avon, with plenty of amenities close by including a new retail park at hand and the Warwickshire countryside beyond.

Positioned in the heart of England the county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands County in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves. Warwickshire hosts several key towns including Leamington Spa Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Kenilworth, Henley In Arden and Rugby to name a few. The northern tip of the county is only three miles from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 60 miles north to south. Equivalently it extends as far north as Shrewsbury in Shropshire and as far south as Banbury in north Oxfordshire.
