New Street, Kenilworth, CV8

Homes like this are becoming increasingly difficult to find.Not because they don't exist, but because very few offer this much space, this much character and this much potential in the very heart of Kenilworth old town.

Dating back to the 1840’s, this substantial townhouse extends to over 2,800 sq.ft. and has been lovingly owned by the same family for more than 25 years. During that time, it underwent an extensive programme of renovation, taking what was once a derelict building and transforming it into the impressive home it is today. Much of the structural work has already been done, preserving the property's period character, and adding some back in with beautiful reclaimed items, whilst modernising the important elements beneath the surface.

Today, it offers a rare opportunity; the house is ready to be enjoyed from day one, but there is also clear scope for a new owner to update the kitchen, décor etc over time, adding their own style without having to take on a major restoration project.

The accommodation is arranged over five floors and is remarkably generous. The living room is over 30 feet long, with high ceilings and period features including a fabulous Georgian fireplace and  traditional deep plaster coving creating a wonderful sense of space, whilst the kitchen stretches almost 25 feet at the rear of the house and comfortably accommodates both cooking and dining. A useful cellar provides excellent storage beneath.

Across the upper floors are lots of excellent large double bedrooms which could also be used for dressing rooms, a cinema room, hobby rooms, playrooms and more! There are three bathrooms in this home, all of which are spacious and one with a lovely roll top bath, making the layout ideal for growing families, those working from home or buyers simply looking for space that can adapt with them.

Outside, the pretty enclosed courtyard garden is private, sunny, established and surprisingly peaceful for such a central location, providing a lovely spot to relax without demanding hours of maintenance. Freshly painted walls and terracotta tiles, mature planting, including an olive tree, climbing hydrangea and pear tree, gives the garden a settled feel that complements the age of the property.

Positioned on New Street, you're only a short walk from Kenilworth's shops, cafés, restaurants, Abbey Fields and excellent schools, making this one of the town's most convenient locations. Not many people can simply walk over the road to a Michelin star restaurant one way, or the other way to acres of open green space and a brand new swimming pool complex, or excellent schools!

There are plenty of period homes in Kenilworth. Very few offer this combination of scale, character and future potential. If you're looking for a home you can move straight into whilst gradually making your own, this is exactly that. Give us a call to receive your bespoke brochure or to book a viewing…
