About
St Mary’s Crescent is an exceptional Victorian residence of considerable character and scale, occupying a prominent position within one of south Leamington Spa’s most distinctive residential crescents.
Built in 1871 and situated within a conservation area, the property presents an elegant façade with attractive architectural detailing, a mature front garden and a traditional entrance that immediately reflects the quality found throughout the home.
Extending to approximately 2,363 sq ft and thoughtfully arranged over five levels, the accommodation has been sympathetically improved to meet the demands of modern living while retaining the proportions and architectural interest associated with its period.
High ceilings, deep skirting boards, decorative cornicing, original-style fireplaces, sash windows and stripped timber flooring sit comfortably alongside a superb contemporary kitchen extension and stylish bathroom fittings.
The entrance hall creates an impressive first introduction, with its high ceiling, decorative archway, traditional staircase and carefully considered décor.
To the front is an elegant living room, centred around an attractive period fireplace and enhanced by a deep bay window.
Bespoke fitted cabinetry and shelving provide both character and practical storage. The second reception room is equally inviting and provides an excellent family room, snug or formal dining space.
A further period fireplace forms a natural focal point, while glazed doors open directly onto the rear garden, creating an attractive connection between the reception space and outside.
Beyond is the spectacular kitchen/diner, which forms the contemporary heart of the home. Extending to nearly 23 feet, the space has been designed for both everyday family life and entertaining.
The kitchen incorporates an extensive range of modern cabinetry, generous preparation space, a central island and a substantial range-style cooker. Underfloor heating provides additional comfort.
The dining area sits beneath a series of rooflights, with dramatic black-framed glazed doors opening directly onto the garden.
The combination of roof glazing, clean architectural lines and direct access outside creates an exceptionally bright and sociable living environment.
The lower-ground level provides valuable cellar storage, incorporating a designated laundry area with space and plumbing for appliances.
The cellar has also benefited from insulation improvements and offers excellent practical space for household storage. The upper floors contain four beautifully proportioned bedrooms.
The first-floor bedroom is accompanied by a separate WC, making this level ideal for guests, older children or a private home-working arrangement.
Occupying the second floor is the superb principal bedroom, a generously proportioned room with an attractive bay window, feature fireplace and extensive fitted wardrobes.
The adjoining family bathroom is a particularly luxurious space, featuring a freestanding bath, large walk-in shower and traditional-style sanitaryware.
Two further bedrooms are positioned on the third floor. Both are comfortable double rooms, with the larger bedroom benefitting from its own en-suite shower room.
The property has also benefited from a thoughtful programme of energy-efficiency improvements, including cellar insulation, roof insulation, draught-proofing and glazing works.
Gas central heating was installed in July 2022 and is controlled via Hive. The boiler guarantee is understood to run until 2034.
Outside, the landscaped rear garden provides a secluded and attractive extension of the living space.
Predominantly paved for ease of maintenance, it includes established planting, mature trees, raised borders and original brick walls.
Multiple seating areas provide ample room for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the black-framed kitchen doors and exposed brickwork create a particularly attractive backdrop.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished period home combining architectural character, generous proportions and carefully executed modern improvements, all within walking distance of Leamington Spa town centre and railway station.
