4 bedroom detached house

The Water Tower is a most exciting and engaging opportunity to acquire an authentic piece of history. Originally a windmill in the mid-18th century, this property was converted to a water tower in 1885. Eventually, it became the incredible residence we see today. Given the origins of this amazing building, it will come as no surprise that the accommodation spans over six floors.

The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, a delightful drawing room with sliding doors opening to the patio area, a home office/dining room and a bespoke kitchen/breakfast room. The kitchen has a range of units, a granite worktop, and a central island. The first floor is home to the principal bedroom suite, which has an en suite shower room and a door opening to a private terrace. As we continue up the tower, three bedrooms and a family bathroom are spread over the four remaining floors.

Outside, the property has a driveway, providing parking for several cars and giving access to the double garage. The gardens are a delight, surrounding The Water Tower in its entirety with a range of mature trees ensuring privacy, herbaceous borders, terraces and larger lawned areas.

The Water Tower is situated on Tainters Hill in the heart of Kenilworth. Kenilworth is a market town in the heart of Warwickshire, known for its historic castle, which dates back to Norman times. The town offers a wide range of shops, including a Waitrose, restaurants, public houses, sports facilities and general amenities to suit a variety of tastes. The property is well placed for the motorway and rail networks and Birmingham Airport.

The area is well served by a range of state, grammar and private schools, including All Saints CofE in Leek Wootton, Crackley Hall in Kenilworth, King Henry VIII and Bablake in Coventry, Warwick School for Boys and King's High School for Girls in Warwick, Kingsley School for Girls and Arnold Lodge School in Leamington Spa.
