At approximately 397 sq ft (36.88 sq m), it also offers a manageable commercial space for a small or growing business, with the additional benefit of its own kitchen and WC facilities.

For investors, the property may also provide an opportunity to acquire a freehold commercial asset in a sought-after Kenilworth town-centre location, with potential to let the ground-floor premises to a retail, office or service-based occupier, subject to the relevant consents and the terms of the auction legal pack.
