Property Summary

"Just look about you in the place you find yourself in" wrote Thomas Hughes in "Tom Brown's School Days", penned in memory of his time at Rugby School. Arnold Villas, named after the famous head of Rugby School "Thomas Arnold", (who is said to have invented the modern public school system of prefects), is a semi-detached, Victorian "Gothic Revival" Villa which forms one of six houses set within a private mews/walkway between Hillmorton Road and Elsee Rd, accessed via Church Walk. Lovingly restored from the outside in, with the heritage and history of the period firmly in mind, this handsome, five bedroomed property has been a labour of love for the current owners and is one of three privately owned properties in the mews, the others being owned by Rugby School. With period features galore, modern conveniences like luxury bathrooms and en-suites, this Grade 2 listed property is available as something of a rarity. This is an almost one off chance to own a piece of Rugby history. With off road parking via a private driveway to the rear.

About The Area
Rugby's economy is mainly industrial and distribution. It is an engineering centre and has a long history of producing gas and steam turbines at the GEC and at the AEI. The AEI was earlier British Thomson-Houston or BTH. They used to dominate employment in the town. They are now amalgamated to form Alstom. Engineering in Rugby is still the most important sector.

There are three new retail parks, “Elliot’s Field” which is leisure and fashion centric, “Junction One” which has a 9 screen cinema and several shops and fast food outlets. “Technology Drive” is mainly home stores and DIY based. Elliot’s Field has launched a second phase with more big names to compliment the existing retailers.

There are many excellent schools In Rugby including grammar school (Lawrence Sherrif), Girls School, Ashlawn School (OFSTED Top Rated) and of course the world famous Rugby School where the modern game of Rugby was born.

Continued...
Rugby is credited as the town that gave the inspiration for the modern Olympic Games, the invention of the laser, hologram and jet engine and enjoys a growing tourism economy as the council and other partners increase the promotion and marketing of the town which is the fastest growing in the West Midlands.

London is only 54 minutes away by (non-stop) train, and the town is excellently positioned for the M1, M6 and A5 as well as the A45, A46 and DIRFT.
