Property Focus: Take a look at this project Warwick Victorian villa appearing on the market for first time in nearly 50 years

Known as Clevedon Villa in Coten End, the seven-bed property has been listed with a guide price of £1,000,000 with Godfrey-Payton.

Godfrey-Payton said the property “provides a wonderful restoration opportunity to its new custodians” adding that “there is scope to create a beautiful family home, steeped in local history.”

The history

The land where Clevedon Villa stands was originally sold by the Henry VIII Charity in March 1867 to Thomas Bellamy Dale, a warehouseman from Nottingham, who then went on to build the property.

The house changed hands several times until 1945, when it was sold to Warwickshire County Council to serve as living accommodation for local nurses.

In May 1979, Clevedon Villa was sold to its current owners and was restored into a family home.

The property

The home is set across four levels, with the lower ground floor featuring two reception rooms, a toilet and storage areas.

On the ground floor, there are a further two reception rooms, a study, a shower room and a kitchen which leads to a dining area.

The first floor features three of the bedrooms – one with an ensuite – as well as another shower room.

On the second floor, there are four more bedrooms and another shower room.

Outside, there is a landscaped and walled garden with a lawn, a patio seating area, a raised water feature which feeds into a pond, a rose garden, herb garden, and composting area.

There are also outbuildings in the former stables.
