6 bedroom house for sale

A GRADE II LISTED CLASSIC ‘ARTS & CRAFTS’ HOUSE in the old part of Kenilworth, close to the Castle, with grounds of some Two-Thirds of an Acre abutting Abbey Fields at the rear, a famed 68 acre public open space forming the green heart of this historic town, ideally located for many centres of commerce in the Midlands region, with Birmingham International Airport, the M40, M42, M6/M69 Motorways all being within 10 miles, whilst there are main-line rail services to London Marylebone from both Royal Leamington Spa and Warwick Parkway (5 miles).

Designed by the renowned Herbert Tudor Buckland and built in 1901, this previously grand residence has fallen into a state of semi-disrepair owing to a lack of investment for over half its life and now presents an opportunity for reinstatement of the house and grounds to their former grandeur.

Typifying the Arts and Crafts style, the property has largely roughcast rendered elevations, steep tiled roof lines with sheltered eaves, tall battered roughcast stacks and the hallmark detail of stone mullion and wooden windows having leaded panes – other points of interest include decorated rainwater-heads and a carved stone corbel with interlaced monogram.

The principal accommodation is arranged over two storeys with, in addition, attic and an extensive basement to briefly comprise wide arched integral porch, vestibule entrance, reception hall with fine oak staircase, drawing room and morning room, both having southerly aspects over the grounds, recessed verandah with tiled canopy, dining room, breakfast kitchen, out-offices, basement rooms, 6/7 bedrooms, 2/3 bathrooms, upper floor attic rooms and roof space.

Driveway with gated entrance, dovecote building and garden grounds, tiered at the rear, which have suffered from neglect over the years.
