The owners have made significant changes to the property during this time in order to provide excellent living space with plenty of flexibility in so far as you can enjoy this home with five bedrooms, you can have three on the first floor with the potential for two bedrooms on the ground floor. Equally you can use the house with the three first floor bedrooms and then have additional reception rooms on the ground floor.

The location is just ideal several schools are within easy reach as are sporting facilities and open countryside, a nice stroll will lead you into the old High Street, Castle and Abbey Fields.

Sellers comments The appeal of this house when we bought it in '83, was twofold: The exterior appearance, with its twin gables nestling amongst the trees, and, as a designer, the potential to enlarge and redesign the interior to suit our lifestyle aspirations for a young family, to allow entertaining ( including an indoor BBQ), and later a home for our design consultancy. Over the years the house has been transformed into a bright, spacious family home including some unusual features that we have loved living in for over forty years

The house has deep Jaguar roots, including most of the 25 years that I spent at the company, during which I was responsible for several sports car designs (including the XJ220), and with the previous owner being Walter Hassan, the engine developer of the xk, Coventry Climax F1 an Jaguar V12 engines.
