Detached house for sale in Blackdown Leamington Spa, Warwickshire CV32

A unique opportunity to acquire two buildings totalling almost 22,000 sq ft (gia) in five acres of private grounds located in a prime position in Leamington Spa.

The Manor House Cranford which was built in 1899 to an exceptional standard for the Spencer family was converted back to residential use by the sellers in 2015 and now provides five large reception rooms, a kitchen breakfast room measuring 46 feet (in length) by 16 feet, with cloakroom, utility room and cellar and six bedrooms and four bathrooms above accessed from a double height oak panelled reception hall with a wide sweeping oak staircase (an additional secondary staircase connects the rear accommodation and first floor hallway).

Offered with vacant possession for the first time in 25 years, the whole site offers a buyer the opportunity to use as either residential or office space with the benefit of probably the largest private grounds in the Leamington area.
