Description
Pools Cottages comprises 4 cottages, 9 flats and 1 studio extending to approximately 11,270 sq. ft., together with communal grounds including a tennis court, gardens and parking on a site area in excess of an acre.

What was previously the main residence, set back from Crackley Lane behind a high brick wall with electronically operated security gates, has been converted to provide four self-contained flats over ground and first floors.

The units to the rear are approached by a separate driveway, leading to a hard tennis court and paddock area to the east. What was previously the swimming pool has been converted to provide two flats.

The thatched roof has been part replaced with a tiled roof.

To the front is a private enclosed lawned garden and to the north end of the garden is a small plantation of mixed conifer and broad leaf trees.

The property may be suitable for further development, change of use or reconfiguration back to a single family dwelling, together with ancillary accommodation (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). We are advised that the existing accommodation does not benefit from planning, with planning being for a single house, thus offers significant asset management opportunities to curate an income stream and/or add value through development. Interested parties are to rely on their own enquires with Warwick District Council[use Contact Agent Button] / ).

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on March 4, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services

    Energy Performance data and Internal floor area: obtained on July 20, 2011 from The Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 or the Home Report if in relation to a residential property in Scotland.
