Leam Terrace, Leamington Spa

An opportunity to buy a large early Victorian townhouse set over four floors and situated in a trendy and sought-after area, within easy walking distance to the train station, town centre and beautiful parks. The character home measures 1285 sqft. It comprises an entrance hall and through lounge dining with beautifully crafted character French oak wide floorboards. There is a modern kitchen fitted with granite flooring, a useful conservatory with utility plumbing and a two-chamber ‘good head height’ cellar ripe for conversion. The staircases and upper floors have been crafted with pine floorboards. There are two double bedrooms and a family bathroom on the first floor together with a loft conversion with two Velux windows on the top floor - with lots of fitted storage. There is a landscaped southwest-facing garden.

'Sellers Comments'
The Leam Terrace community is charming and welcoming. It is anchored by The New Inn, a well-known pub with locals, that serves Sunday roasts with the best gravy in town. They also organise the annual ‘Leam Terrace street party’ to raise money for local charities and it has been a firm favourite of ours. In our time here, we have benefitted from the convenience of walking into town to enjoy the shops, cafes, parks and green spaces that Leamington has to offer. The proximity to the train station has allowed us to pop into London at short notice to enjoy city life and visit friends. We have also soaked in the tranquillity of our garden and adjoining orchard often with a drink whilst watching the sunset.
