Wathen Road, Leamington Spa, CV32

Dating back to 1904, this beautifully presented Edwardian home is a wonderful example of period architecture thoughtfully adapted for modern family life. Behind its red-brick façade lies a home rich in original character, where beautifully preserved features sit effortlessly alongside a light-filled contemporary extension, creating spaces that are as practical as they are inviting.

Stepping through the front door, you're immediately welcomed by the striking quarry tiled hallway and an elegant staircase. High ceilings, stained glass detailing and original fireplaces are reminders of the home's Edwardian heritage, while every improvement has been made with genuine respect for its character.

The bay-fronted sitting room is an elegant space to relax, filled with natural light from the large sash windows and centred around a beautiful fireplace. Also off the hallway, the second reception room offers exceptional flexibility and is currently arranged as a study and library, complete with a wood-burning stove. Whether used as a formal dining room, cosy snug, home office or playroom, it provides valuable additional living space to suit every stage of family life.

A practical inner hallway leads to a cloakroom and separate utility room before opening into the heart of the home. The beautifully designed kitchen has been created with both everyday family life and entertaining in mind. Flooded with natural light from overhead Velux roof windows, the space seamlessly connects with the garden through bespoke timber bi-fold doors that can be fully opened, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor feel during the warmer months. Above the sink, a handcrafted sash window has been carefully designed to echo the home's original Edwardian windows, ensuring the contemporary extension sits perfectly alongside the property's period character.

Outside, the enclosed rear garden provides a peaceful setting with a lawn, established borders and patio seating areas. Each year the rear garden comes alive with a magnificent display of roses, where a mature white rambler intertwines with two vibrant red climbing roses to create a spectacular floral backdrop that has been lovingly established over many years.

Beyond the historic rear access lies an unexpected hidden gem, an additional private garden offering a wonderfully secluded escape. Complete with a charming seating area it's the perfect place to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine beneath the mature fruit trees. Both the plum and pear trees produce an abundance of fruit each year, making this a delightful extension of the main garden and a truly unique feature of the home.

The accommodation continues across the upper floors with three generous double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom on the first floor, complete with the added comfort of electric underfloor heating. Occupying the top floor, the impressive loft conversion creates a superb main bedroom, enjoying windows to both elevations, excellent natural light and a contemporary en-suite shower room, which also benefits from electric underfloor heating. The loft bedroom also features excellent built-in storage, including generous eaves cupboards.. A ceiling fan has also been fitted to help circulate air during the warmer months, ensuring comfort throughout the year.
