Kenilworth, Warwickshire

Spacious and airy three-bed house with two lounges and a large garden. In leafy Kenilworth. We’ve just finished a total upgrade of this classic 1920s semi in a quiet corner of Warwickshire. There are two separate lounges, front and back; a large open-plan kitchen and dining area; two double bedrooms; a spacious study and a single bedroom. The master bedroom has an en-suite, air-conditioning and lovely views over the back garden and trees beyond. There’s a full-size roll-top bath with a shower in the main bathroom. Downstairs, there’s also a separate WC and cloakroom. The massive 35m-long garden is east-west facing and a quite a sun-trap. It`s secure, private and dog-friendly with tall trees all around and a massive oak at the far end, brimming with wildlife. The wide patio has outdoor dining chairs, table and sofa, plus smaller seating areas around and about. Facing the house from the back is a raised timber Scandi-style summerhouse with decking, plus a woodland garden behind with further seating. The whole house has been reconfigured, replastered and redecorated in the past two years. The original doors have been stripped and waxed and all the mod cons (fittings, fixtures, carpeting, gas central heating, plumbing, electrics) are new. There`s wooden flooring in the kitchen/dining area. The front lounge has the larger tv, with a smaller tv in the cosy garden room at the rear. Also downstairs is large pantry with washer/dryer, breadmaker and storage space. Parking is available on the drive as well as on the street - ample spaces for two cars. It’s a peaceful location, with many attractions within easy reach. Although relatively new to the Guardian house exchange, we’ve completed around 15 house swaps in the UK and overseas with another company. Despite everything last year, we managed two fantastic UK exchanges and we’re ready to roll. We’re interested in all offers – long or short.

About the location

Kenilworth is a delightful small town in Warwickshire with easy access to Leamington Spa, Warwick (10 minutes` drive), Stratford-on-Avon (15 minutes) and the Cotswolds (30-40 minutes). Although relatively small, it is well supplied with supermarkets, craft shops, cafés, restaurants, pubs and cocktail bars. The town centre is about 15 minutes’ walk from our house and there’s a post office and vet just down the road. Literally. Our most famous landmark is Kenilworth Castle, a huge romantic ruin in glorious red sandstone (five minutes’ drive). At the centre is Abbey Fields, a large wooded park with a lake, and there are many nature reserves in the town as well as surrounding areas – ideal for dog walks. Many stately homes are dotted about Warwickshire, including Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. A quarter of an hour to the north is the historic city of Coventry its two cathedrals, transport museum and Herbert Art Gallery. The University of Warwick, with all its amenities, is just four miles away. Dog owners, garden lovers, golfers, fans of food, history and architecture are all spoilt for choice. We’ll leave you a list of all the highlights, along with all our favourite places and maps of walks in the area.
