Three Bedroom Detached Bungalow For Sale in Clifton upon Dunsmore, Rugby

Okay. Let me be clear from the outset. This is no ordinary bungalow!

In fact, somebody described it to me recently as �Clifton�s best kept secret!�

For behind the scenes of what appears to be a perfectly pleasant, well-kept bungalow, in a respectable and sought after village location, can only be described as a �House of Fun!�  

It�s the gift that keeps on giving, jaw dropping and it�s got to be seen to be believed.

Am I over doing it?

No � not really.

This place will exceed all your expectations and leave you with a big smile on your face, reaching for your cheque book, or heading off to buy your next lottery ticket.

The current owners have been here for about 18 years and have remodelled and updated the property and its gardens extensively during their time here. It has a very �high-end� feel to it.

The workmanship and the finish is excellent and the property has been upgraded to a very high standard with an excellent spec. of quality appliances and fittings throughout.

Despite this, the property is quite modest and unassuming from the outside and that�s exactly the appearance they wanted to retain. However, the mix of both traditional and contemporary features as you move throughout the property, blend and complement one another beautifully.

The original part of the property, which was built we believe in the 1950�s, still retains the three double bedrooms, an entrance hall that doubles as a study area and a beautiful sitting room with stunning fireplace. This could be used as a fourth bedroom if required. The original parquet flooring runs through these areas and is a beautiful feature.

There are two bathrooms; one with a Victorian style suite including a high level WC, and free-standing, claw-footed slipper bath with complimentary metro-style tiling. The other is a more slick and contemporary shower room with large walk-in shower cubicle and 'rainforest' shower, with a 'nifty' button to pre-set the water temperature. There�s also underfloor heating.

The kitchen is gorgeous! Very sleek with clear surfaces and plenty of storage cupboards, drawers and display shelving as well as a hidden pantry cupboard. There is a myriad of built-in appliances here including a coffee maker, fridge freezer and dishwasher as well as all the usual cooking appliances. There is beautiful tiling, mood lighting and even the tap provides hot, cold, boiling or filtered options. The dining area is perfect for all year round with a fire to keep you cosy in the winter, and French doors to enjoy views and access to the garden in the warmer months.

But it doesn�t end there.....

Continue on through the kitchen and it will lead you to a jaw-dropping family room with skylights, full height glazing and spectacular views of the garden. The sun floods into here!

This room has a more 'retro' feel to it largely due to the furnishings and is currently used as a large living area with sofas, the TV and zoned-seating areas to enjoy the view. It benefits from both underfloor heating as well as air-conditioning and is a great room to hold a party or large gathering.

Now, in addition to the kitchen, there is also an amazing utility room, which is probably the size of most people�s kitchens. I�d call it a garden kitchen really as it has easy access to the patio area and it is really well equipped with a fridge freezer and wine fridge as well as a sink and lots of storage.

The private rear garden is incredible. We often refer to a garden being used as another room of the house. Well, with well thought out hard and soft landscaping the owners have created another four or five additional seating areas to enjoy different aspects and views of the garden. There is a large patio immediately behind the property with a pathway winding its way through the lawn to the bottom of the garden and the rear patio and decking areas overlooking the fields behind and the distant views.

Now this is a very sociable home owned by a very sociable couple, so what else would the discerning 'party animal' need? � yep, you guessed it�.. a garden bar! But not just any old bar. The Pavilion Bar is an extremely well-equipped, insulated timber structure that looks like a cricket pavilion, with a bar, mezzanine floor and a surrounding veranda which is a charming place to sit and enjoy a quiet drink. But trust me, it�s a great place for a party, or even just to escape to watch the cricket.

 

Further down the garden there is a further wooden structure divided into two storage rooms also containing and outside toilet with composting 'loo.' Very handy whilst out in the garden or having friends over in the bar.

To the front of the property there is a retaining wall with electric gates. The garden is pretty with traditional planting and the driveway provides access to the garage (which is currently used as a gym) and provides parking for several cars.

The exterior is beautifully presented, and the property has plenty of kerb appeal, but as mentioned before, it gives little away as to what lies behind the fa�ade.  

If you�re unfamiliar with it, Clifton is roughly 2 miles Northeast of Rugby near the Northamptonshire, Leicestershire, and Warwickshire border. It offers excellent road and motorway access having the M6, M1, A5 & A14 nearby and the local railway station allows the commuter to get to Euston in less than 58 minutes.

Clifton has a safe and friendly community feel to it. A perfect place to raise a family; Being close enough to Rugby for all manner of amenities yet with all the feel of the countryside around you, where you can find some lovely local walks nearby across the fields and along the canal and disused railway line.

The village itself has an excellent village store, a pub, caf�, church, hairdressing and beauty salon, as well as a sports physio and Brownie shop. There is also a recreational ground with play area for the little ones and tennis courts accessible from South Road.

This property further benefits from gas fired central heating, partial underfloor heating, double glazing, CCTV and an alarm system. A pull-down ladder provides access to the loft space which houses the gas fired combination boiler, provides lots of storage space, and, I believe, subject to the appropriate planning permission offers a further opportunity to convert to additional living space.

I'm very excited about showing you this amazing property with all its fun and appealing features, so if you would like more information or would like to arrange a viewing, please call the friendly team at Campbells who will be happy to help you further.
