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).

Cranford House the adjoining building was until recently used by ABRDN as offices and although still fitted to a high specification as offices (including daylight lighting and air conditioning) benefits from permitted development rights to convert to residential use (subject to following the prior notification and approval procedure with the local planning authority).

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.

Both properties are accessed by a private estate road which runs for about 300 metres from the gated entrance from the A452 Kenilworth Road through the grounds.

Cranford House itself is being advertised with 86 car parking spaces to let at a rent of over £280,000 pa (on a full repairing and insuring basis) representing a net rent of £22 psf.
The Manor House has additional parking for a further 20 vehicles in the courtyard area or the gravelled parking area to the rear.

Both properties are currently being offered with full vacant possession at completion and offer the opportunity to create probably the biggest private residence in the area, to repurpose for an institutional, headquarters office or educational use or to occupy part and re-let Cranford House to provide a substantial rental income.

Outside
The Estate also includes a fenced paddock and other potential development land totalling about three acres (subject to any necessary consents) and the land, and buildings offer the opportunity for redevelopment or change of use in the future with a view to adding further value, set in around two acres.
There are extensive gardens and grounds and two further lodges with land and a carpark occupying a further two acres available by separate negotiation.

    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

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    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
