All the staff members, particularly Will and Laura, were helpful, considerate and very experienced they couldn’t be more helpful and straightforward I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.
Whether buying or renting, it’s always important to know what you’re looking for, so you can refine your search criteria below. But, if we don’t currently have any properties that suit your taste, we can always add you to our mailing list.
From the moment you arrive, the kerb appeal is undeniable. The crisp white render gives the exterior a striking, modern elegance, setting the tone for what lies within. Step through the front door, and the welcoming hallway draws you in. A glass balustrade lines the staircase, reflecting light and creating a contemporary feel, while giving you a glimpse of the quality and attention to detail that flows throughout the home.
To your right, the lounge beckons with its soft ambience and tasteful décor. A beautiful bay window allows natural light to pour in, while the plush carpet underfoot adds to the sense of luxury. The log burner takes centre stage, promising cosy winter evenings curled up by the fire or long, lazy Sunday afternoons with a film. This is a room that feels both comforting and elegant, a true retreat.
Wander further, and the heart of the home unfolds. The vast ground floor extension has created a breathtaking open-plan kitchen, dining, and family room, a true showpiece. The dining area sits invitingly as you enter, perfect for family meals or entertaining guests. Beyond, the kitchen is designed to impress. A centralised island stands proudly beneath a roof lantern, where daylight pours in from above, filling the space with warmth and brightness. Sleek quartz worktops and clean cabinetry provide elegance and function, while integrated appliances including a dishwasher, ceramic hob, oven, microwave oven and extractor fan offer seamless practicality. Inset spotlights complete the look, creating a kitchen that feels both modern and timeless.
The family area flows naturally from here. It is a generous, open space with room for substantial sofas, laughter, and relaxation. Expansive bi-fold doors stretch across the rear, opening the house to the garden and merging indoors with outdoors in one effortless movement. With underfloor heating extending throughout the ground floor excluding the lounge, comfort and style go hand in hand in every season.
A separate utility room ensures day-to-day life is neatly tucked away, while a sleek ground-floor shower room adds convenience for both guests and busy families.
Upstairs, the home continues to shine. The family bathroom is a showpiece in itself, an indulgent retreat with a freestanding bathtub perfect for long soaks, complemented by a separate walk-in shower for everyday ease. The vaulted A-framed roof creates a sense of light and openness, elevating the experience of the room. All three bedrooms are beautifully finished with soft carpet underfoot, offering comfort and calm. Bedroom one boasts a built-in wardrobe with sliding doors, combining style with storage, while the other two rooms are versatile and welcoming, ideal for children, guests, or a home office.
The rear garden is every bit as enchanting as the interior. Step out from the bi-fold doors onto a raised decked area, perfect for morning coffees or summer dining. Beyond lies a lush green lawn, edged with gravel borders and dotted with planters filled with shrubs. At the rear, a majestic tree provides shade and a beautiful focal point, creating a sense of privacy and tranquillity. It is a garden that feels established yet full of possibility, equally suited to family play or peaceful retreat.
Balliol Road itself is a quiet, no-through street, offering a serene setting yet keeping every amenity close at hand. Families will love the proximity to Wyken Croft Primary and Caludon Castle Secondary schools, while professionals will appreciate being just a short distance from University Hospital Coventry and Warwickshire. Everyday essentials are nearby, and the excellent road links provide quick access to the M6, A46 and surrounding network. Coventry city centre, with its shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions, is only a short journey away.

Don't Just Take Our Word For It
All the staff members, particularly Will and Laura, were helpful, considerate and very experienced they couldn’t be more helpful and straightforward I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to sell their home.
Having recently gone through the sale process with Shortland Horne I would firstly like to thank you for a truly professional job from the moment I asked you to take over from Purple Bricks to completion. It was a bad decision thinking that the house would just sell without it being marketed properly and that’s what happened the house was just sat there on the internet being clicked at but no viewings. Once Will and the team got involved we had viewings booked in and sold immediately cracking job and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.
What a roller coaster of emotions house moving brings. With the Shortland Horne team supporting you every step of the way, the journey is made smoother. They are an outstanding team. Proactive, knowledgeable and with excellent communications, their professionalism shines through. We have the home of our dreams now. We highly recommend the fantastic team.
First class professional service from all concerned with letting my property. From the marketing to the swift letting of my property. We were initially attracted to how Shortland Horne market properties and they did not disappoint! The marketing was a cut above the rest and they took time in showing off the unique features our property has. I would highly recommend Shortland Horne to any Landlord.
I’ve been working with Aaron and Shortland Horne for around 6 months now. Letting various residential properties for us. We have listed 6 properties in this time and all went in a matter of weeks at the prices Aaron recommended. I find the team to be professional and work in a timely manner and happy to go the extra yard on things for you. Most importantly they don’t cut corners which gives me peace of mind.
Shortland Horne dealt with the recent letting of an unusual property for us with minimum hassle. They set out a super marketing achieving an overall good result.
I would highly recommend Shortland Horne to any landlords looking for a top class smooth and efficient service.
O’Flanagan Homes have used Shortland Horne for over 20 years to market & sell our developments in Coventry & Warwickshire. The whole team led by Will and Laura are experts in their field, who also demonstrate that they genuinely care. We appreciate your dedication and professionalism in the hard work you have put in to support us over the years. We hope to work with Shortland Horne for many more years to come.
