How long have you worked at Boothroyd:
Since April 2022. I finished my A-levels in 2021, which wasn’t easy especially during COVID, and I then had some time off playing football, going on holiday and working at Sainsburys to fill the rest of my time. I was not sure what my plans were and what I wanted to do. I was told about an opportunity at Boothroyd’s and a year later I’m really enjoying it and learning so much every day.

What is your favourite period of property:

It has to be Victorian houses, the tall ceilings, bay windows, decorative brick work, and feature fireplaces. I would be biased as we have a Victorian house and discovering historic items when renovating was very exciting dating back to the war. I love a house with some history and character.

The New Forest as we have a holiday home there and every time we visit the New Forest it feels very like Kenilworth with lovely shops, restaurants and friendly people.

What is your favourite period of property:

1950’s era tends to offer a decent plot size, with excellent scope to extend/alter and put your own stamp on a house but still retaining a decent size garden in most instances even when extended.

If you could live anywhere (except Kenilworth) where would it be:

Loire Valley Region in France is a favourite of mine. The weather is generally very good, its picturesque and not too commercial.  With my wife and three children we tend to visit the same area every year during the school holidays.

What is your favourite property you have ever dealt with:

There have been so many interesting properties over the last 23 years all have different reasons and stories behind the sale and personalities involved.  However, St Johns View on the Warwick Road was real eye opener when I first started.  It was in a terrible state of disrepair, a deceased estate. The lady had occupied one room with a gas lamp for light and no heating.

Where is your favourite place for a day out in Warwickshire:
I’ll bend the borders of Warwickshire a little to say Villa Park…. Nothing better than a Saturday 3pm full house and a home win!

Possibly too early to tell  However my grandparents have moved to Kenilworth through Boothroyd & Co after living in Lyme Regis for over 30 years.  I’m glad they moved house through the estate agency that I am a part of because it meant that we could make the process as smooth as possible for them as we try to do for all our clients.

A place right on my door step – the Millenium Trail walk around Kenilworth Castle.

I like the sense of community. To put it into words, you really notice it when it snows and the whole of Kenilworth heads for Abbey Fields. You sense a real togetherness in the town on those odd days.

What is your favourite period of property:
It has to be The Arts and Craft era which started in the 1880’s. Being a keen gardener this was an era when gardens became almost extensions of the house with “outside rooms” created with hedging.

What is your favourite property you have ever dealt with:
My favourite property has to have been a Victorian House sold in the grounds of St Johns Church in Bromsgrove. The most memorable thing were the bricks. You could see children’s hand prints from when the moulds were patted before going into the kiln. The house was sold to the ‘Richard and Judy’ show and formed part of their daytime show as it was refurbished and eventually given away, along with its contents in a competition.

Where is your favourite place for a day out in Warwickshire:
Charlecote Park. On an autumnal day, it was simply stunning…and getting away from everything commercial, heaven.

I sing with Kenilworth Pop Voices Choir and absolutely love it ! We, about 40 of us , rehearse once a week and perform at many local events . We can be seen soon performing  at the local  Christmas Market , Warwick Castle Lights Switch on and at St Davids Cathedral Pembrokeshire.

Once a year we perform at Birmingham Town Hall with all 300 of us from Pop Voices locally , this year we sang a range of 20 songs such as Proud , Bridge Over Trouble Water , Show Must Go On , Viva La Vida & Mr Blue Sky  to name but a few !  A highlight for me this year was singing in New York , Carnigue Hall with choirs from around the world. As a lover of musicals , choir is such a great way to enjoy singing , make new friends  , have fun and an easy way to forget the stresses and troubles in the world . I thoroughly recommend it !
