Kenilworth Road, Coventry

Constructed in 1914, this handsome detached house is offered for sale with no onward chain and via informal tender. Set on a stunning 1-acre plot behind the mature copse lining Kenilworth Road, the property combines privacy with an impressive position.
The house offers approximately 4,700 sq ft of accommodation across three floors, complemented by an in/out driveway and a double garage. While the property requires modernisation, it provides excellent scope for improvement or redevelopment, allowing the next owner to restore or transform it into a spectacular family home.
The gardens, though currently overgrown, reveal hints of their original formal layout, adding further charm and potential. Gas central heating is installed throughout, providing the framework for a comfortable, contemporary living environment.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial Edwardian home in a prime location with immense potential.
