Curie Close, Rugby CV21 3PE

Quiet enough to feel tucked away, yet close enough to walk into town for coffee, shopping or dinner – this great three-bedroom link-detached home really does offer the best of both worlds. A part-glazed front door opens into the welcoming hallway, with wood laminate flooring, a radiator and access to the fuse box. The grey-carpeted staircase rises ahead, while to the left is the bright and comfortable living room. Flooded with natural light from the square bay window, the living room has plenty of space for a sofa, two armchairs and a coffee table – an inviting space for settling down at the end of a busy day. A fully working gas coal-effect fire provides a lovely focal point, with a marble hearth, gold surround, marble insert and period wooden mantelpiece adding a touch of traditional character. It's easy to imagine cosy evenings here, curling up on the sofa with the fire lit. From the living room, you move through into the kitchen, which is particularly light thanks to two windows overlooking the rear garden. Pale beech wall and base units are complemented by sleek chrome handles and marble-effect laminate worktops, with an integrated white electric cooker and four-ring gas hob, and a freestanding dishwasher and washer dryer. The regularly serviced Vaillant combi boiler is wall-mounted, and there is a white 1.5-bowl sink with drainer, space for a freestanding fridge freezer and a natural wood dining table and chairs seating four to six people. The dining area gives the kitchen a relaxed, sociable feel – somewhere for breakfast before the day begins, homework after school or a leisurely dinner with friends. An understairs cupboard provides useful additional storage, helping to keep everyday essentials neatly tucked away. An archway leads through to the downstairs WC, which has white sanitaryware, matching laminate flooring and a white marble-effect ceramic tiled splashback with decorative pattern detail. From here there is also access to the large single garage, which has an up-and-over door, power and lighting. Currently used for storage, the garage offers excellent flexibility. It could be used as a workshop, hobby space, home gym or simply somewhere to keep bikes, tools and all those things that are useful to have but don't necessarily need to live inside the house. Three freestanding shelving units and the existing home gym system are included in the sale if required. A glazed rear door leads directly from the kitchen into the garden, allowing plenty of natural light into the room and creating an easy connection between the house and outside space. The directly south-facing rear garden is one of the property's real highlights. It provides a lovely setting for a morning coffee, an afternoon with a book or an evening spent outdoors when the weather is on your side. A paved patio runs immediately outside the kitchen and along the left-hand boundary, finished with attractive textured tessellated stone paving and providing plenty of room for outdoor dining and relaxing. There is space for a table and chairs, a hanging egg chair and additional garden furniture, making this a garden that can easily become another living space during the warmer months. Beyond the patio is a curved inset lawn, giving the garden a softer feel and space for children to play, dogs to roam, or simply somewhere to enjoy a little greenery. Two large metal storage sheds are included in the sale, while an outside tap also adds practicality. The garden is fully enclosed by wooden fencing, providing a secure outdoor space, and an alley down the side of the property gives useful access for storing your bins. Upstairs, the landing has a large airing cupboard with shelving, providing further practical storage. There are three bedrooms, all offering good flexibility depending on how you want to live. Bedroom one is a well-proportioned double bedroom at the front of the property, with space for a double bed and freestanding chest of drawers. A large full-height built-in wardrobe provides excellent hanging and shelving space, while an accent feature wall adds warmth and character. Bedroom two is a particularly versatile, full-depth double bedroom. Dual-aspect windows make this a wonderfully light room, with restricted head height to one side counterbalanced by a dormer window to the front. Currently used as a home office, it demonstrates just how adaptable the accommodation is – whether you need somewhere to work quietly during the week, a guest room, a hobby room or simply another bedroom. There is plenty of room for a double bed, bedside tables and freestanding furniture, with louvre blinds fitted to both windows. Bedroom three is positioned at the rear and is a small double bedroom, with space for a freestanding full-length mirror and wardrobe. Louvre blinds and grey curtains with blackout lining give the room a cosy and practical finish. The family bathroom has a traditional feel, with a bath and chrome shower over, wall-mounted chrome mixer and folding glass shower screen. There is white sanitaryware, a natural pine toilet seat and a heated chrome towel radiator. The room is finished with floor-to-ceiling ceramic tiling, combining grey marble-effect tiles with crackled-glaze white tiles and a decorative blue floral frieze. A mirrored pine medicine cabinet provides useful storage, while chrome poles either side of the basin incorporate frosted glass shelving. The shower also benefits from an in-built water softener. Outside, the generous driveway provides parking for two to three cars, while the large single garage offers valuable additional storage. Several items of furniture are available by separate negotiation, offering the option for the new owner to retain some of the existing furnishings. Location: It's this home's location that really ticks lots of boxes. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac, the property has a peaceful residential feel, yet Rugby town centre is close enough to reach easily on foot. That means you can leave the car at home and stroll into town for a morning coffee, pick up a few things from the shops, meet friends for lunch or enjoy an evening out without having to think about parking. Rugby town centre offers an excellent mix of independent and high street shops, supermarkets, cafés, restaurants, pubs and takeaways, alongside cultural facilities including the public library and churches of several denominations. The area is also well served by schools for all ages, making this a practical choice for families as well as commuters. For those travelling further afield, Rugby train station is within easy walking distance and provides fast rail services to London Euston and Birmingham New Street in under an hour. There is also convenient access to the M1, M6, A5 and A14 road networks, with the property also being ideally positioned for the main bus route into the town centre, and places including Hillmorton, Clifton and Elliott's Field retail park. For the commuter, it means the working day can begin with a short walk to the station rather than a long drive. For those working from home, the second bedroom provides a dedicated space away from the main living areas. And when the working day is done, you can close the laptop, step outside into the garden or simply settle down beside the fire. A peaceful setting, a sunny garden and town living within easy reach – this is a home that gets the balance just right. With three bedrooms, flexible living space, excellent storage and generous parking, it offers plenty of practicality without compromising on comfort. It's rare to find a home that feels this peaceful while remaining this well connected.
