Vendor's Comments:
Royal Leamington Spa has a history that is recorded in the Doomsday Book – its relatively recent history has revolved around its status as a spa town when wealthy visitors would visit to enjoy the benefits of bathing in the spring and ‘take’ the waters. It was at this time that the architectural face of the town became synonymous with the elegance of the Regency style and Georgian Palladian town houses.

Stourton Villa is one such elegant town house built in the late Georgian style. The current owners have restored and renovated this fine house with an intelligent and gentle eye lavishing all the care and attention this home so richly deserved. Original mouldings were sourced and reinstated where necessary, even fine floorboards from the period were installed to continue the accuracy of the narrative throughout.

The renovations are a triumphant melding of period features with modern high standards of restoration, producing a home that is eminently capable of providing a versatile, graceful and spacious residence affording all that today’s contemporary lifestyle demands. Stourton Villa surely is at its absolute best when entertaining – the reception rooms support an incredible flow throughout with the kitchen providing the heart and hub of the household and a place to which family and friends all naturally gather.

Leamington Spa and the surrounding countryside has much to offer with green spaces, common, meadowland and river walks all a short distance away. The M40 takes 10 minutes to reach giving access to other major road links with Birmingham International Airport taking a journey of 25 minutes and Heathrow Airport about 1 hour and 10 minutes. There are local shops and amenities just a 2 minute walk away and one is able to walk to the centre of Leamington in about 15 minutes.

Stourton Villa is an exquisite Georgian property that has been carefully and lovingly restored to the fine family home it is today.

Accommodation Summary
Stourton Villa was purchased in 2002 by the current owners and some two years later they commenced an extensive and complete renovation and refurbishment of the property, which took almost four years. This has created a fabulous family home with spacious and practical accommodation. The entire house was taken back to the bare brick, re-plastered, and painted throughout with Farrow & Ball eggshell. Every tile in the kitchen and bathrooms is from Fired Earth. A new heating system was installed with cast iron burnished antique radiators used, and the cornicing, skirting, and sash windows were restored.

The fabulous hall has the original, restored, flagstones and doors lead to all the principal living rooms.

The drawing room and music room are connected by large sliding doors. Both have exposed floorboards and fireplaces with marble surrounds.

The sitting room has large double windows to the front, a fireplace with marble surround and exposed floorboards.
