This historically rich property, dating back to the late 18th century, showcases an appealing mix of Georgian and Victorian architectural features. Its striking brick exterior, grand sash windows, and intricate cornicing reflect its past elegance, while the thoughtfully designed courtyard and ancillary structures enhance its charm and adaptability. Nestled within over two acres of landscaped grounds, this expansive residence encompasses approximately 8,265 square feet across three levels and a basement, including five reception rooms and five bedrooms alongside a spacious dressing room. The interior boasts numerous period elements such as beautiful plasterwork and ceiling roses which speak to its storied history in Keresley.
What truly sets this property apart is its remarkable potential for renovation or redevelopment. With substantial space and unique character, there is ample opportunity to restore it as a luxurious family home or consider alternative uses like luxury apartments or boutique commercial spaces (subject to necessary permissions).
The ground floor welcomes you with a grand entrance hall featuring Victorian geometric floor tiles and a stunning curved staircase leading to the upper levels. Here, five elegant reception rooms await; among them are two impressive front rooms characterized by their Regency proportions and near full-height bay windows. The kitchen area is complemented by a pantry, laundry room, and guest cloakroom for practical living.
Moving to the first floor, you'll find three sizeable bedrooms (one boasting an en-suite), alongside two bathrooms and separate WC facilities. The second floor offers further accommodation with three additional large bedrooms and a handy self-contained two-bedroom apartment with private access for guests or rental income.
The extensive basement holds arched chambers ripe for conversion into storage or other uses. Outdoors, the grounds designed by Sir Joseph Paxton invite exploration with their manicured lawns, mature plant life, grottoes, and artistic rockeries. A traditional courtyard leads to former coach houses with separate gated access—ideal candidates for sympathetic redevelopment into unique living spaces or studios.
Keresley’s location is another asset; it combines peaceful semi-rural surroundings with excellent connectivity to urban conveniences in Coventry. Residents benefit from community spirit along with proximity to outdoor recreational areas like Coundon Wedge Park. Daily amenities including shops and schools are within easy reach while the major roadways connect swiftly to Birmingham and beyond.
