Sellers Story

Having lived in four different properties in this area, we unreservedly love Earlsdon, with its many shops and cafes, restaurants and pubs.

We walk in the Memorial Park every day, as its fabulous to be so close, and Canley Ford and Wainbody Wood are also easily accessible on foot.

Coventry station is less than a mile – meaning London is an hour away and Birmingham 20 minutes.

Having a real fire in the front room is wonderful, especially at Christmas, when we like to toast marshmallows!

But our favourite room has to be the master bedroom, because when we open the curtains, a view of woodland trees fills the entire window. It’s like living in a forest glade. A fabulous view to wake up to.

And it’s certainly a unique panorama that we are unlikely to enjoy again, once we move, so this is an aspect that we will genuinely miss.

Indeed, our house enjoys an ideal location, set as it is on the ‘quiet side’ of Stoneleigh Avenue, right next to Hearsall Golf Club. The tall trees to the rear make you feel like you’re in a forest, and wildlife abounds.

We frequently watch hedge-sparrows, woodpigeons, blue tits, jays, the occasional green-headed woodpecker, and even a heron flying overhead.

Squirrels, hedgehogs and foxes too enjoy spending time in our garden.

There have been many memorable events celebrated here at No. 8, over the 15 years that we have lived here.

Our 100-ft secure, private garden has played host to many anniversaries, birthdays, children’s parties, overnight camping, and scores of summer barbeques.

The well-stocked, mature garden has also been home, over the changing years, to slides and swings, tree houses and see-saws, for our daughter, as well producing a multitude of plants, bushes and trees that bloom every year. (Including delicious apples for home-made apple wine!)

We love our large sitting room which opens out onto a private patio and lawn, and have enjoyed many parties here, accommodating as many as 20 friends round the table for dinner. And it’s great to be detached as you never have to worry about noise!

Extras

We bought the property in 2008 and put solid oak flooring throughout the downstairs, off-set by red quarry tiles in the kitchen.

More recently (2019) we added Karndean limed-oak flooring to unify the rooms upstairs.

At the time of purchase too, 2008, the electrics were renewed and upgraded and double-glazing added throughout.
