Property in Warwick: 27 High Street
Date : 25 January 2012
Warwick has long been a Midlands hotspot with its historic buildings, variety of attractive parks and gardens and excellent schools. Local agent, Knight Frank, says that the town’s housing market is thriving, with town houses proving particularly popular.
Richard Symonds, senior negotiator with Knight Frank’s town sales team, says: "Over the past year we’ve seen an 86% increase in cash buyers registered with us looking for a town centre property in Warwick."
"Warwick in particularly is popular with families due to the range of state, private and grammar schools and amenities the town has to offer, while young professions are attracted to the town due to the easy commute to city centres such as Coventry, Birmingham and London."
“Certainly the style of property available, especially the Tudor, Georgian and Victorian houses, has contributed to Warwick’s appeal and those best in class houses on Castle Lane, Bridge End, Mill Street and High Street are proving to be very popular with potential buyers.”
Knight Frank’s Stratford upon Avon office is currently marketing 27 High Street in Warwick.
This historic Grade II listed town house, dating back to the Elizabethan era, but with a Georgian façade, has attractive light and spacious rooms with large windows, period detail and some exquisite plasterwork features.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors and includes a welcoming hall with traditional chequered flagstone floor, open fireplace and wonderful Georgian staircase; traditional dining room with sash windows, dado rail, cornicing and open fireplace; elegant drawing room adorned with a superb Adam style ceiling and French doors leading to the garden room; kitchen/breakfast room with two oven Aga and larder; and cellar with wine cellar.
On the first floor there are three bedrooms, family bathroom and dressing room, which would lend itself for conversion to an en suite bathroom for the master bedroom, subject to the necessary planning consents.
A staircase with original wooden panelling leads to the second floor which has four further bedrooms, two of which have original leaded dormer windows overlooking the High Street. Outside there is a private garden to the rear of the property, outbuildings, a garage and carport with access from Castle Lane.
Symonds adds: “27 High Street would benefit from some modernisation; for modern tastes I would suggest converting some of the bedrooms to bathrooms, but the essentials are there and once completed this would make a fabulous period home.
