Set within the historic Abbey development, this two-bedroom ground-floor apartment combines Victorian character with practical modern living. Tall ceilings, large sash windows and a dual-aspect layout deliver abundant natural light and a spacious feel despite a compact footprint. One allocated off-street parking space adds convenience in this town-centre location.
The flat is arranged with separated living and sleeping areas, a contemporary kitchen and a single bathroom — ready to occupy or let. Share of freehold tenure, circa 145 years remaining on the lease and no ground rent provide long-term security. Service charge is approximately £2,400 per year (£200 pcm), covering communal maintenance costs.
Location is a strong asset: a short walk to Kenilworth town centre, Abbey Fields and Kenilworth station, with good connections to Coventry, Leamington Spa and Birmingham. Close proximity to Warwick University and quality local schools supports both first-time buyers and buy-to-let demand.
Notable considerations: the apartment has no private garden and internal space is modest for a two-bedroom flat, so it suits a single occupant, couple or small family. Crime statistics in the area are above average; buyers should satisfy themselves on local security measures. Broadband speeds are average despite excellent mobile signal. Some owners may wish to modernise or reconfigure interiors to create open-plan living, which would be an added cost but could enhance rental return or resale value.
