Leam Terrace, Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, CV31

Arbor Villa is a beautifully presented five-bedroom semi-detached period townhouse, combining elegant original features with thoughtfully updated interiors, an impressive extended kitchen and a landscaped rear garden. Situated on Leam Terrace, within easy reach of Leamington Spa’s town centre and riverside gardens, the property offers generously proportioned accommodation arranged over three floors, together with a useful cellar and the valuable addition of parking to the rear.

The handsome frontage introduces the character found throughout the house, with tall sash windows, decorative architectural detailing and steps rising to the entrance. A patterned tiled approach sits behind iron railings, while the entrance vestibule opens into a welcoming hallway with wood flooring, decorative arches and a traditional staircase.

To the front, the principal reception room is an elegant space with a large bay window, fitted shutters, ornate cornicing and a feature fireplace. Bespoke-style shelving provides extensive space for books and display, complementing the room’s proportions and period character. A second reception room offers further flexibility as a sitting room or formal dining room, with another attractive fireplace and tall glazed doors opening onto steps down to the side courtyard.

The extended kitchen/dining/family room is a particular highlight. A long section of sloping roof glazing draws natural light across the room, while a full-height window and wide bi-fold doors connect the interior with the rear terrace and garden. Deep green cabinetry is paired with pale worktops and brass-toned handles, with two built-in AEG ovens, a hob with integrated extraction and an undermounted sink and walk in corner larder. There is ample space for a dining table and a relaxed seating area, creating a sociable setting for both everyday family life and entertaining. A separate glazed door provides access to the side courtyard, and a cloakroom serves this part of the house.

The bedroom accommodation is equally versatile. Four bedrooms occupy the first floor and its rear split-level section, including a particularly spacious front bedroom with a bay window, a further generous double with a period fireplace, a rear double bedroom with ensuite shower room and fitted storage and a narrower fifth bedroom currently arranged as a study. The updated family bathroom features a freestanding bath and a separate walk-in shower.

On the second floor, the principal bedroom forms an inviting retreat beneath the roofline. Dormer windows, fitted wardrobes and shelving make good use of the space, with additional eaves storage and an adjoining en-suite shower room.

The cellar provides substantial ancillary storage with potential to further enhance the property and is currently used in part to accommodate exercise equipment. Its exposed brickwork and accessible layout also make it a useful practical addition to the accommodation or development subject to planning.

Outside, the rear garden has been carefully arranged to provide attractive areas for sitting, dining and entertaining. A generous paved terrace with a decorative tiled inset leads onto a central lawn, framed by established planting, Portuguese laurel trees providing hedged year round greenery and brick boundary walls. A mature Japanese wisteria and established Virginia creeper adds particular seasonal character and colour to the rear elevation. Parking is situated beyond the garden; a neighbouring property benefits from a right of way across this area.
