Description
Occupying a wonderfully private position within a peaceful cul-de-sac in highly sought-after Cawston, this exceptional five-bedroom detached residence offers approximately 2,411 sq ft of beautifully proportioned accommodation across two floors. Set on one of the more generous plots within the development, this is a substantial family home where space, versatility and an impressive sense of scale come together effortlessly.
A welcoming entrance porch opens into a wonderfully light and spacious reception hallway, immediately setting the tone for the accommodation beyond. The ground floor offers an excellent collection of living spaces, including a generous principal sitting room, an elegant separate dining room and an additional study which lends itself equally well to a home office, playroom or snug. At the heart of the home sits the contemporary kitchen and breakfast room, creating a sociable setting for everyday family life, complemented by a separate utility room and guest cloakroom. The generous proportions and thoughtful arrangement of the ground floor make the home equally suited to relaxed day-to-day living and larger-scale entertaining.
The sense of space continues upstairs, where a broad landing leads to five genuinely generous double bedrooms. The impressive principal suite features built-in wardrobes together with its own en-suite bathroom, while the second bedroom also benefits from a private en-suite shower room. Three further double bedrooms are served by the beautifully appointed family bathroom, providing excellent accommodation for children, guests or those requiring additional work-from-home space. A dedicated dressing area and extensive boarded loft provide further practicality and storage.
Outside, the private landscaped rear garden provides a wonderful extension of the living space, with established lawn and patio areas creating an inviting backdrop for summer entertaining, alfresco dining and family life. To the front, a generous driveway provides ample off-road parking and leads to a detached double garage, offering further parking, storage or potential for alternative use subject to the relevant permissions.
Cawston remains one of Rugby’s most desirable residential locations, particularly popular with families for its well-regarded schooling, attractive green spaces and strong sense of community. Rugby town centre and railway station are within easy reach, while excellent connections to the A45, M45, M6 and M1 make the location particularly convenient for those commuting towards Coventry, Birmingham or London.

Seller's Story
This has been a great home to us since 2001. We bought it as it was the highest square footage in the whole of the Cawston development and private, to allow for the kids to grow up happily.
We moved in due to easy access to local highly sought after primary school, excellent secondary schools and being close to my GP practice, where I worked for 20 years.
Also, easy access to motorways and trains for travel.
My family and I have enjoyed the peace and quiet, security, friendly neighbours and relaxed environment.
There are excellent parks, playgrounds and pubs within a few minutes walk.
Our favourite room is the lounge with a big screen TV where we've had many great times watching big football and cricket matches, while entertaining.
Also, the large double garage, half of which I've used as a gym for 20 years.
A memorable moment we had in this home was the day we moved in and it was my 30th birthday.
We had a big family BBQ in the private garden, in midsummer.. We have all had many memorable events over the years.
My family and I have enjoyed most the choice of rooms to be in depending on what I wanted to do, having friends around, playing with the kids in the garden when they were young, cooking in our kitchen with a couple of drinks, the peaceful environment.
We are said to say goodbye and we will miss the local facilities, the Bear pub and being close to the town centre social life.
We're selling as the kids have grown up , I'm cutting down on work and want to move on to the next chapter of life.
