4 bed detached house for sale

Castle Hill, Kenilworth, Warwickshire CV8

Pavilions is in a prestigious and sought-after location, overlooking Abbey Fields to the rear and opposite Kenilworth Castle and Castle Green. This bungalow was built in a prominent, elevated position in 1928. The current owner has extensively renovated and extended the property to a high standard. Steps rise to the front door from the driveway to a pretty veranda, and the front of the property is dressed with shutters. The front door opens into a beautiful open-plan kitchen/dining room with a vaulted ceiling and stone flooring. The kitchen features air-conditioning, a window seat, and a central island with part Corian worktops and part oak worktop on the breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a Neff oven, combi-oven, induction hob, and dishwasher, and there is space for a freestanding American fridge/freezer. There is space for a large dining table, and a small snug is off the dining area. Steps lead down to a magnificent drawing room with windows on all sides, including a pretty picture window, wood flooring, electric fireplace, air conditioning, and French doors that open to the garden.

A door from the kitchen leads to a utility area and steps down to the tandem garage and cellar. The cellar is a useful storage area with good ceiling height, a WC, and a small storage cupboard, and it is tanked. (tbc)

Steps lead from the kitchen to the principal bedroom suite, which occupies the first floor. A study area with a Velux window and fitted desk is on the landing. From the first-floor landing, steps rise to a small galleried mezzanine which overlooks the kitchen. The principal suite has a dual aspect, pitched ceiling, fitted dressing table, and several built-in wardrobes. The views across to Kenilworth Castle from the bedroom are lovely. An en suite bathroom always works as a Jack-and-Jill bathroom, with additional access from the landing. The bathroom is fully tiled with a walk-in shower, WC, bidet, dual basin with a vanity unit below, and a freestanding bath.

The remaining accommodation is located a few steps below the ground floor. There is a guest bedroom with French doors to the garden, a fitted wardrobe and en suite bathroom. Bedroom three has a rear aspect overlooking the garden, and a further double bedroom has built-in storage and could be used as an office or snug if all of the bedrooms were not required. The accommodation on this floor is extremely flexible. The two double bedrooms share the family shower room.

Outside, the south-facing rear garden is a beautiful feature of the property and extremely private, with views over Kenilworth Castle. The garden is partly walled and mainly laid to lawn, with a large patio ideal for entertaining and an additional seating area under a gazebo.

To the front, there is parking on the driveway for several cars and a tandem garage with an electric up-and-over door.
