67 Lillington Road Leamington Spa | Warwickshire | CV32 6LF Seller Insight
Situated on a prime residential street close to the bustling town centre of Leamington Spa is Number 67 Lillington Road, a very handsome family home that boasts an exceptionally large garden. The property was originally built in the early 20th century, but over time it has been sympathetically extended and so now offers a fabulous amount of space throughout. It has been a much-loved family home for the past fifty years, however in terms of the layout and interior, in general, this is a house that has been somewhat frozen in time and therefore presents its new owners with a wonderful opportunity to come in and really put their stamp on the look and feel of the entire property.
This lovely house is set back from the road and sits on a mature plot that extends to just under half an acre – unusually large for a property this close to Leamington Spa town centre. To the front, as well as a large driveway that leads to the detached single garage, there is also a pretty garden that incorporates box hedging and a number of mature shrubs and trees. To the back of the house, the garden is divided into sections that include a little courtyard with low-lying hedges, an area of lawn that has the beginnings of a rather impressive maze and further open lawns that are separated by more low hedges. The garden is already quite structured, but again it has huge potential to be further developed and offers more than enough space for perhaps either a tennis court or even a swimming pool.
The house is situated on the favoured north side of Leamington Spa and so not only enjoys easy access into the town centre but is also just a stone’s throw from the rolling countryside that surrounds it. The transport links are excellent and enable easy access into places such as Birmingham, Coventry and Northampton, and the journey time into central London is only around an hour and twenty minutes by train.
One of the standout rooms within the property is said to be the main living room. It has large windows that overlook the garden, so is wonderfully light and bright, and there is real potential for the new owners to add bi-folding or French doors and create a wonderful connection with the beautiful garden beyond.
The location is, without a doubt, one of the standout features of this property. In one direction you have the wonderful array of shops and amenities that can be found within the town centre, and in the other is mile upon mile of glorious open countryside. In short, it’s a location that offers the very best of both worlds.
The accommodation is currently arranged over two very generous floors, however, the house also boasts a large cellar as well as a substantial outbuilding, both of which have great development potential.
This is a house that without doubt boasts a fantastic amount of potential. The size and sheer character of the house, the wonderfully large garden and the superb location all combine to offer a unique opportunity for the new owners to create a quite exceptional family home.
