Ashow, Kenilworth, CV8

Lewberry Close is a country house originating back to 1929, located in the idyllic village of Ashow, Warwickshire.

Occupying an extensive plot of approximately 1.5 acres, the house is set amongst beautiful landscaped gardens with stunning unrivalled views over the surrounding countryside. With impressive internal accommodation of over 5000 square feet arranged over three storeys, the stand out features include CCTV, alarm system, ground and first floor underfloor heating, Crittall steel double glazed windows throughout, bespoke oak joinery and multiple feature fireplaces with wood burning stoves.
