House For Sale £1,500,000
A stunning and historic 4100 sq. ft. grand five-bedroom townhouse located in the heart of Warwick, which has been meticulously renovated to create a unique family home...
This stunning historic five-bedroom Grade II listed residential townhouse which was originally “The Warwick dispensary for the sick and poor” in 1826 and from 1871 was run as a small hospital. The dispensary ceased to function in 1948 on the introduction of the National Health Service and then used for general practice right up until about 12 years ago when the current owners took over and converted it to a private residential dwelling. They have with great care and respect for its historical significance sympathetically renovated and transformed the property back to its former glory! The property retains many of the original period features including elegant timber sash windows, open fireplaces, cast iron radiators, exquisite enduring beauty of wooden panelling and elm/oak floorboards and staircase. The property must be seen to appreciate its traditional and historic heritage.
Step inside
Ground Floor
Enter the property through an original solid oak door with brass furnishings into the porch vestibule area, then proceed through the glass doors to the welcoming entrance hall. Here, black and white Fired Earth ceramic tiled flooring sets a stylish tone, complemented by the feature historical original elm and oak staircase. The hall opens into the sitting room, drawing room, cloakroom, boiler room, kitchen/breakfast room, and cellar. The cellar, thought to date back to medieval times, consists of an upper and lower cavern for storage and functions as a wine cellar. The kitchen/breakfast room boasts high ceilings, exposed timber beams, and original pine parquet flooring. A beautiful south-facing double-glazed timber window overlooks the garden, bathing the room in natural light. Equipped with a Stoves 5-ring gas cooker and electric oven, built-in Bosch dishwasher, Fired Earth double sink, and Bastide freestanding cabinets with an original oak dresser top, this space seamlessly flows into the rear hall. The rear hall features a double-glazed atrium, lantern, and doors leading to the garden and formal dining room. The dining room is adorned with an original marble and timber open fireplace and an original sash window overlooking the rear garden. The drawing room, once the doctor's waiting room, exudes elegance with its fully panelled walls, original marble and timber open fireplace, and timber sash windows.

Ascending to the first floor, you'll find the principal bedroom boasting high ceilings, original beams, and a feature fireplace. The spacious en suite bathroom features original elm floorboards, an impressive roll-top bath, separate shower, and a traditional combined radiator with towel rail.
