Wathen Road, Leamington Spa

The appeal of a characterful Victorian home in Leamington Spa never recedes and here is a fine example of that. Situated within an extremely popular and convenient North Leamington no-through road, this substantial double-bayed home dates to the late Victorian era during the early years of the 20th Century. The house still retains much of its original charm and character, incorporating gas fired central heating and with many of the principal windows having been replaced with double glazed reproduction sashes. Still retaining its original two separate reception rooms, one of the most appealing features of the ground floor is the enlarged kitchen/breakfast room, with the breakfast area featuring a large Velux double glazed roof light and doors onto the attractively re-designed garden patio. To the first floor there are three comfortable bedrooms together with a family bathroom. The real surprise with this property, however, are the two rear gardens, both of which are delightfully presented and separated by a shared rear communal access. This lends the house considerable appeal to family purchasers.

We understand that mains water, gas, electricity and drainage are connected to the property. We have not carried out any form of testing of appliances, central heating or other services and prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves as to their condition and efficiency.
