Montford House is a substantial Grade II listed Georgian townhouse occupying a prestigious High Street position opposite Abbey Fields and close to Kenilworth Castle. The property extends to over 5,000 sq ft, offering five bedrooms, four reception rooms, and extensive entertaining space including a vaulted garden room and a large west-facing terrace. Period features — high ceilings, bay windows, exposed beams and original floorboards — combine with high-spec kitchen appliances and modern environmental systems such as a heat pump and solar mat for the pool.
The grounds are unusually private for a town centre house and include a heated outdoor swimming pool with a separate pump and changing/shower room, a secret walled garden with greenhouse, and a triple garage plus private parking behind electric gates. Practical extras include two kitchens, two cellars (one as a wine cellar), utility/boot room and multiple WC/bathroom suites, making the layout highly flexible for family life or multi-generational living.
Important practical points: the Grade II listing and location in a conservation area will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or refurbishment. The house is large and will require ongoing maintenance and running costs (including quite expensive council tax and pool upkeep). On the positive side, modern heating and pool systems reduce energy demand, and the property's location offers excellent schools, rail links and local amenities within easy reach.
This house suits a spacious-family buyer seeking character, entertaining space and a central Kenilworth location who accepts conservation constraints and higher running costs. For buyers wanting extensive accommodation, potential for small-scale reconfiguration exists (previously two houses combined), but any structural or external changes will need listed-building consent.
