Avenue Road, Leamington Spa

Tucked within the historic surroundings of The Manor House, this distinctive ground-floor apartment forms part of an elegant conversion completed by Charles Church in 2004, and now offers contemporary living in a hugely convenient location. The property enjoys its own private front door entrance, offering the feel and independence of a house while benefiting from the prestige and setting of this notable building.

The accommodation begins with a welcoming hallway, where there is a convenient separate WC and a useful store cupboard. The hallway opens through to a superb open-plan kitchen and living space designed for modern living and entertaining. The kitchen is well appointed with integrated appliances including a Smeg oven and hob, fridge/freezer and dishwasher, complemented by stylish stone worktops and a central island/breakfast bar. The living and kitchen areas are flooded with natural light from large front-facing sash windows which overlook the attractive streetscape of Leamington Spa’s renowned Regency-style homes. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, enhancing comfort and creating a clean, uncluttered aesthetic.

A modern staircase rises from the living space to the first floor, where a mezzanine landing leads to two bedrooms and the main bathroom. The bathroom is finished to a contemporary standard and features a spacious walk-in shower. The principal bedroom benefits from generous built-in wardrobes and additional storage concealed behind sliding doors, while the second bedroom provides a versatile space ideal as a guest room, home office or study.

Externally, the property benefits from an allocated parking space positioned to the front of the apartment. The development itself is approached via a gated entrance, with the main Manor House building set well back from the road, creating a sense of privacy and exclusivity within landscaped surroundings.

Location - The location places the apartment within easy reach of everything that makes Royal Leamington Spa so desirable. The elegant town centre, including the vibrant shopping boulevard of The Parade, is within comfortable walking distance and offers an excellent selection of cafés, restaurants, boutiques and independent retailers.

For commuters, Leamington Spa railway station lies approximately a mile away, providing regular rail services to London Marylebone, Birmingham and beyond.

History - The Manor House itself is steeped in fascinating local history. Built around 1740 as the home of the Wise family in Queen Anne style, the property originally featured a handsome Chippendale staircase and two dovecotes set within a three-acre garden. Over the years, the house underwent numerous alterations before becoming a hotel in 1847. It remained a prominent hospitality venue for almost a century and a half, later serving as offices for the Ministry of Transport during the Second World War. The hotel’s most remarkable claim to fame occurred in 1872, when England’s first recorded game of lawn tennis was played on its lawns by Major T. H. Gem and Mr J. B. A. Pereira, a Spanish wine merchant living nearby in Avenue Road! Following the hotel’s closure, the building was thoughtfully redeveloped into luxury apartments in 2005, preserving its historic character while introducing high-quality modern living.
