Four double bedrooms in main house, multiple reception rooms
A substantial detached family home on Kenilworth Road set well back behind mature planting and a wide circular driveway. The house offers four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a large garage, sitting on a very large plot that delivers privacy and scope for outdoor living. There is no upward chain, making it ready for a straightforward sale.
Significant planning permission has been granted (PL/2023/0002482/FUL) for a separate four-bedroom dwelling accessed from The Shrubberies, and additional consent to replace the detached pool building with a second four-bedroom house. These approvals create clear development upside for multi-generational use, rental income or resale value, subject to following the approved plans and building regulations.
The property retains many original mid-20th-century features but will need updating in places. EPC rated E and the solid-brick walls are assumed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for energy-efficiency improvements and possible modernisation of heating, electrics and internal finishes. The plot and planning potential are the key value drivers for buyers willing to invest.
Location is a strength: south Coventry close to Kenilworth, the University of Warwick and good local schools (including Finham Park and King Henry VIII). Broadband speeds are fast and road links (A46/M40) are accessible. Note: the local recorded crime level is high, which some buyers will want to investigate further.
