14 THE GRANGE MEWSNumber 14 The Grange Mews is a beautifully appointed family home that forms part of a 19th century manor house originally built in 1846 by the Duke of Northumberland. “We purchased the property just over three years ago, and there were a variety of factors that drew us to it,” says the owner. “The sheer sense of history of the building, the wonderfully high Victorian ceilings and generous sized living room and master bedroom, and the fact that it enjoys this fabulous setting within walking distance of Leamington town centre all proved to be very attractive.”

Seller Insight “The house was habitable when we moved here, but required an awful lot of updating, however, we could see that it had a great deal of potential and that there was real scope for us to be able to blend contemporary

interior design with the gorgeous original features. So during our time here we have made significant changes to the house. We refurbished the single-glazed wooden sash windows with wooden double-glazed units, completely replaced the plumbing and heating system, installed a beautiful new kitchen complete with Neff appliances and two new bathrooms with Villeroy and Boch sanitaryware, converted the damp basement into a clean and dry utility room with plenty of storage and a wine cooler… the list of improvements literally goes on and on. It was always our intention to stay in this house, so we made changes that would make us more comfortable. The work was done to the highest standards and we’ve injected a sense of design flair that really appeals to us. The house is now a stunning home.”

“The garden is a relatively small paved courtyard garden, but it’s the perfect space for sitting out and relaxing and a lovely little spot for entertaining. The rear French windows open onto steps that lead into the garden, which is edged with various shrubs and plants that provide colour and interest all year round. Planning permission was obtained to turn half of the garage into either a garden room or an orangery to create more entertaining space. We didn’t proceed with these plans, but it could be an exciting project for the new owners.”

“The living room with its high ceiling, mid-century style wood burning stove, 60’s-style brass sputnik light and vibrant curtains is a wonderful space to entertain or relax in front of the television.”

“The Grange Mews is a quiet development with a real community spirit. The approach along Beverley Road is lovely with its wide tree-lined street. We have ample parking but the town is only a fifteen-minute walk away, so there’s no need to drive to the shops or the station,” says the owner. “We also have two good schools within a five-minute walk, and within a ten-minute walk you can be at the Saxon Mill fields with a lovely walk across to The Saxon Mill pub by the River Avon.”

“The completely renovated basement has a guest toilet with amusing wallpaper depicting a theatre scene, Queen Anne bust and blue ceiling which is an unexpected and fun surprise,” says the owner.

“As we mentioned before, we never intended to move, however when a new job arose in Leeds, it was too good an opportunity to turn down, hence our move. There is so much that we both shall miss about this beautiful home,” says the owner. “The friendliness and support of our neighbours, the great selection of independent shops nearby, the feelings of space within the house, the sound of the nearby church bells… We will be very sad to leave.”
