4 bed town house for sale

Castle Street, Warwick, Warwickshire CV34

Built in 1897 and occupying a wonderfully discreet position within Warwick's town centre, 4 Castle Street is a distinctive period townhouse combining generous proportions, elegant architectural detail, and exceptional versatility. Arranged across four storeys with an additional cellar, the property provides approximately 4,000 sq. Ft of accommodation and includes four bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms, and three reception rooms.

Sash windows, high ceilings, decorative cornicing, panelled detailing, and feature fireplaces bring warmth and character to the interiors, while contemporary kitchens and bathrooms ensure the house is entirely suited to modern life. Its adaptable arrangement offers particular appeal for families, those working from home or buyers seeking multigenerational accommodation, all in a peaceful yet exceptionally central position opposite Pageant Gardens and moments from Warwick Castle.

Ground Floor

The front door opens into a welcoming entrance hall where the staircase, panelled detailing, and carefully chosen decoration provide an immediate introduction to the character found throughout. Two generous double bedrooms are positioned on either side of the hall, each enjoying sash windows to Castle Street. Their proportions also allow either room to serve equally well as a study, snug, or additional reception space if preferred. A newly fitted shower room is conveniently placed off the hall.

To the rear is an excellent open-plan sitting and dining room, a light and sociable space with a rooflight and broad French doors opening directly onto the secluded courtyard garden. A separate, recently fitted utility and boot room provides extensive storage and practical space away from the main living areas.

This entire level has previously been used as a self-contained apartment for a family member and therefore lends itself particularly well to multigenerational living, a teenage suite, or guest accommodation. Alternatively, the rear reception space could be reconfigured as a substantial kitchen, dining, and family room, subject to any necessary consents.

Lower Ground Floor

Steps descend from the entrance hall to a substantial cellar arranged as three connected areas. Extending beneath the front portion of the house, it offers valuable storage together with scope for wine storage, hobbies, or other ancillary uses, subject to suitability and any necessary consents.

First Floor

The first floor is home to the magnificent drawing room, a beautifully proportioned reception space spanning the full width of the house. Six tall sash windows overlook Pageant Gardens and fill the room with natural light, while the high ceiling, decorative cornicing, panelled walls, and an ornate open fireplace create an elegant environment for entertaining and relaxation.

To the rear, the contemporary kitchen/breakfast room is fitted with sleek cabinetry, granite worktops, a Belfast sink, and a central island with breakfast-bar seating. It connects naturally with the adjoining dining room, and a door from the kitchen opens directly onto the roof terrace, providing a wonderful extension of the entertaining space during warmer months. A cloakroom completes this floor.

The arrangement retains further flexibility should a future owner choose to relocate the kitchen to the ground floor. The kitchen and dining rooms could come together to form an impressive principal bedroom suite with dressing room and en-suite facilities, subject to the necessary consents.

Second Floor

The second floor provides a generous double bedroom with built-in cupboards and a beautifully appointed family bathroom. Finished in a crisp contemporary style, the bathroom includes a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower, and modern vanity storage, creating a luxurious yet practical space.

Third Floor

Occupying the uppermost level, the principal suite is both distinctive and private. The split-level design places the sleeping area on a raised platform beneath an expanse of roof glazing, with a separate seating area below and a Velux balcony opening to views across Warwick's rooftops. Built-in storage and a contemporary en-suite shower room complete this superb retreat.

Outside

The private walled courtyard garden is approached from the ground floor living space and provides a peaceful, secluded setting for outdoor dining and entertaining. A covered patio offers welcome shelter, while an artificial lawn, mature planting, and well-stocked raised borders create colour and interest with minimal maintenance. Gated access from Castle Street leads to the garden through a covered side passage.

The first floor roof terrace is accessed directly from the kitchen and provides a second generous outdoor area. Decking leads to a small artificial lawn and balcony overlooking the courtyard below, with attractive views across the rooftops of Warwick town centre. Together, these two external spaces provide an unusual degree of privacy and versatility for such a central location.

Resident permit parking is available on Castle Street within parking zone W2. Further permits for selected town-centre car parks may be available from Warwick District Council, subject to the council's current terms and charges. The vendor also advises that a complimentary pass to Warwick Castle is available.
