Vendors Comments
"We have all lived very happily here for 10 years now, " says Jeff. "It is a wonderful house and a great family home." "Actually we liked it from the moment we saw it, " adds Linda "the house sits virtually in the middle of the gardens and it makes everything look so open and spacious."


"I think the space is one of the things we shall miss most about living here, " adds Jeff. "We have space for four cars in the garage, let alone the number of cars you can accommodate in the driveway. The house itself provides a large and comfortable family home - and again with large reception and bedrooms. Every room is spacious enough to allow you to be together or to find a quiet room to be alone if you need to work." "Or, for teenagers to play loud music or guitars without disturbing the household!" laughs Linda. "It really is a perfect house for entertaining. We've had some lovely Christmases here with family and friends gathered around and, in the summer time, we have enjoyed some great days in the garden, with the odd Barbecue party - of course."

"We really do feel we have the best of both worlds, " says Jeff. "Here we are in this lovely country village setting and yet we are within easy reach of just about everything you could need. Balsall Common is just 1 miles from the house, with shops, library and the other usual amenities. It's only a mile to the nearest schools and, of course, you have Warwick University, Warwick Science Park, Kenilworth and Coventry just a short drive away. The major motorway links are also easy to reach as are the airports and main line rail links of Coventry and Birmingham."


"I will particularly miss the gardens, " says Linda. "They is surrounded by mature trees and it makes everything feel so relaxed and private. We planted the garden quite carefully so it provides colour all year round. This has been such a wonderful place for our family to live, it is going to be difficult to leave this behind. We have all been so happy here and have such great memories. Silver Birches has a warm and welcoming feel and I just know the new owners will be as contented here as we have been."
