Church Street, Warwick, Warwickshire, CV34

Situated in the heart of Warwick's prestigious conservation area, 5 Church Street is an immaculately presented Georgian townhouse that blends timeless elegance with modern comfort. This beautifully appointed Grade II listed period property has an enviable location within the historic town centre, offering refined living in a setting steeped in charm and character. A unique feature of this exquisite home is a gated side passageway that leads to a delightful self-contained, period, two bedroom cottage, perfect for guests, extended family, or additional income potential.

The property has many original period features throughout, including sash windows, a staircase with ornate balustrades, stone flooring, exposed floorboards, fireplaces and picture and dado rails.

The property can be accessed via a formal front door, which opens from Church Street, or through a side door accessed via a gated private passageway, which opens into a rear hallway. The sitting room has a front aspect, a newly fitted traditional fixed sash window, original wooden flooring and an open fireplace. Double doors open into the inner hallway with an elegant staircase rising to the first floor and descending to the lower ground accommodation. The living space on the lower ground floor continues with a study, guest cloakroom, cinema room and a useful utility with a washing machine, dryer and GFCH boiler and cylinder.

A beautiful kitchen/dining room has a large sash window and double doors opening on to the garden. There is a dining table in-situ, an exposed brick wall, tiled flooring and the kitchen features wooden worktops, tiled backsplash, a double Belfast sink and a range cooker. Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted to extend the kitchen, see separate heading.

On the first floor, the formal drawing room offers a versatile space and can easily function as a bedroom if needed. The principal bedroom benefits from a rear-facing aspect and includes a generous en suite bathroom complete with a separate walk-in shower.

On the second floor, there are two good-sized double bedrooms, each with fitted wardrobes and their own en suite shower rooms. The rear double bedroom features a small, restricted-height storage area—ideal as a play space if used as a children's bedroom.

The period, two bedroom self-contained cottage offers versatility and could be used as a home office, ancillary accommodation, or a holiday let. While it feels like a natural extension of the main residence, it also benefits from its own separate access via the passageway, allowing it to function as a fully self-contained unit if desired. The ground floor features a well-appointed kitchen/breakfast room and a cosy sitting room, complemented by a separate storage room. Upstairs there are two comfortable bedrooms, a spacious landing, and a modern shower room. The larger bedroom presents an adaptable space — ideal as a bright and airy studio or home office, yet easily adaptable as a main bedroom if preferred.

The recently landscaped rear garden offers a tranquil retreat in the heart of the town. A spacious sun terrace with a south-west facing aspect provides the perfect setting for al fresco dining and entertaining guests. Two useful garden stores provide additional storage.

On-street parking is permitted (W2 zone), and additional permits can be obtained from the local council for use of town centre car parks.

Planning permission and listed building consent have been granted for a single-storey rear extension to provide kitchen/living space and a utility room.
