Keresley House, Tamworth Road, Keresley, Coventry, CV7 8JG

Believed to date from the late 18th Century, the property displays elegant Georgian proportions complemented by later Victorian additions, creating a captivating blend of architectural styles. Its original brickwork, tall sash windows and ornate cornicing speak to the grandeur of its past, while the courtyard layout and outbuildings add both charm and versatility.

Set within approx three acres of grounds, the main house extends to around 8,265 sq ft across three floors and a basement, providing five reception rooms and five bathrooms, along with a large dressing room. The fabric of the building retains a wealth of period detail, including decorative plasterwork, ceiling roses and fine sash windows, a testament to its enduring presence within the Keresley landscape.

Beyond its historical significance, Keresley House offers remarkable scope for transformation. Its substantial scale, architectural character and generous grounds create an exceptional opportunity to restore and reimagine the property as a grand family home or to redevelop it for alternative purposes (subject to the necessary consents). Potential future uses might include conversion into luxury apartments, a boutique care home or distinctive commercial premises, making the most of its impressive proportions and prestigious setting.
