This distinctive Grade II listed house dates from the 16th century and offers exceptional character: original sandstone and brickwork, exposed beams, multiple fireplaces and seven internal staircases. The property balances history with functional living, featuring a generous kitchen/breakfast room, utility, refitted bathrooms, cellar storage and a spacious lounge with log burner and bar area overlooking Abbey Fields.
Practical benefits include driveway parking for several vehicles and a private, low-maintenance courtyard garden with an illuminated historic well under glass. The house’s six bedrooms and multiple reception spaces suit a large family, multi-generational living or a conversion into specialist accommodation (subject to consents).
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building — any alterations will require listed-building consent and can restrict modernisation. The property is EPC exempt due to its historic status. The plot is relatively small and council tax is described as quite expensive; only two full bathrooms serve six bedrooms, which may need addressing for some buyers.
A viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, original features and layout. The house offers rare historic presence in Kenilworth but suits purchasers comfortable with listed-property ownership and potential conservation-led maintenance.
