Property description

Originally converted in 1995 from what was the old Clifton Dairy, this two-bedroom property is full of character and holds a special place in my heart as it was the first house that I bought after leaving home. I was so pleased when the current owners asked me back to help them sell it .

It’s located in the very popular village of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore, roughly 2 miles northeast of Rugby near the Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and Warwickshire border and only 20 minutes’ drive from Daventry.

It offers excellent motorway access with the M6, M1 and A14 all nearby and the local railway station allows the commuter to get to Euston in 58 minutes. Clifton has a very safe and friendly community feel to it.

The property has changed quite a bit over time; a conservatory has been added and the current owners had the kitchen professionally redesigned to their own specification, introducing an array of built-in appliances.

They have also updated the bathroom and converted it into a very stylish tiled shower room with walk-in double shower cubicle, WC and sink unit inset into a white, gloss vanity unit.

The two double bedrooms, positioned to the front and rear of the property, both have built-in wardrobes.

The lounge is a bright, sunny room with a feature fireplace housing a real-effect gas fire. Due to the thickness of the old dairy walls, “It’s a room that stays warm in the winter but nice and cool in the summer - it's cosy and warm on those dark winter nights.“

The conservatory is a great addition and is where the current owners spend most of their indoor time.  Facing south over the garden it has double doors leading to a low-maintenance, walled outside area.

Accessible via a pull-down ladder from the first-floor landing, the loft space is boarded and offers a surprising amount of storage. It would also make a great hobbies area.  The head height is good and would lend itself to being converted to a further bedroom, subject to the necessary planning, of course.  In fact, one of the neighbouring properties has already done this.

The private south facing garden and has an attractive curved wall with roses adorning it.  It's designed to be a maintenance friendly area, so no grass cutting here!  Just sit back and relax on the patio, get the barbeque lit and let your mind drift away to sunnier climes whilst you listen to the trickling of the water feature.

A side pedestrian gate takes you into the cul-de-sac and around to the driveway and garage that belongs to this property.  Inside the garage there is power and lighting connected with further storage available to the eaves space.

Clifton has a safe and friendly community feel.  It has its own Primary School which boasts “outstanding” Ofsted results. This is within easy walking distance and has an on-site playgroup.

Further amenities include The Bull Inn public house, St Mary's Church, the Clifton general store, a beauticians, hairdressers, florists and the Townsend Memorial village hall which hosts many activities including mother and baby groups, fitness activities, bridge and one of my favourites, ‘Tuesday Teas‘ where many of the villagers get together for a chat and a very acceptable piece of cake! 

There's a playing field, tennis club with three courts and a park for the little ones. There are plenty of country walks on your doorstep including the towpath walks along the Oxford Canal.
