Lifestyle Interview
Nestled on the edge of Lilbourne village, The Old Rectory has been a lovely home having a timeless charm and full of character. The first thing that caught my parents eye was its distinctive arts and crafts style chimneys, hinting at the enchanting blend of historical elegance and modern comfort within. One of my favourite spaces is the garden room. Bathed in sunlight from morning till evening, it offers a 360-degree view of the beautiful garden, seamlessly merging indoors and outdoors. It's my tranquil haven, perfect for unwinding while observing the local wildlife like goldfinches, woodpeckers, and even the occasional buzzard.

The layout of The Old Rectory enhances both social gatherings and daily routines. The adjoining dining and drawing rooms make entertaining effortless. The cosy drawing room, with its striking marble fireplace and log burner, promises warmth and comfort during the winter months. While I love the current traditional layout, there's potential to create an open-plan space by merging the kitchen and dining room, offering flexibility for future owners.

As I step into the house, the oak parquet-floored entrance hall greets me warmly, with unique arts and crafts decorative surrounds on several doors adding to its charm. Upstairs, the master bedroom offers a front-row seat to breath-taking sunrises, while the guest and third bedrooms bask in the soft, golden reflections from the nearby church. The drawing room, capturing both the morning sun and the winter sunset, serves as a cool retreat in summer and a cosy nook in winter, especially with the log burner alight.

Outdoors, the garden is a delightful space with an array of mature plants ensuring year-round interest. I particularly enjoy the vibrant displays of alliums, bearded irises, and red hot pokers. There's also a secluded, shady section dedicated to ferns and hellebores, offering a cool retreat on hot days. The patio area, extending from the side to the front of the property, is my go-to spot for enjoying a meal or a glass of wine while watching the sunset.
I have had some memorable moments here. For my 50th, we hosted a large marquee on the lawn, and since then, we've lost an apple tree, so the lawn could now accommodate an even larger marquee. The garden would be perfect for hosting big family events, parties, or weddings.

In terms of upgrades and renovations, there have been several improvements over the years. We installed a new utility room in 2016 and added the log burner around the same time. In 2019, we replaced the oil tank, and in 2023, we upgraded the sewage plant. Roof repairs and new leading were done in 2018, and more recently, guttering and funnels were replaced.

For commuters, The Old Rectory is conveniently located near major routes like the M1, M6, and A5, and it's just a short drive from Rugby station, where trains to London take less than an hour. The local community is close-knit, centred around the Head of Steam pub, the village hall, and the church, fostering a warm and friendly atmosphere. Nearby, the David Lloyd leisure centre and Rugby LTC offer excellent facilities for fitness and recreation.
As for memorable experiences, having lived in The Old Rectory for 24 years, there are too many to list. However, I can confidently say that the house has been a beautiful backdrop to every special occasion, creating cherished memories that will last a lifetime.
