Set within approximately 7.5 acres of parkland and woodland, this superb estate offers a beautifully refurbished chain-free Victorian Manor House (not listed) offering over 7,700 sq. ft. of living space, a vacant high-specification office building offering approximately 14,000 sq. ft, a vacant detached three bedroom lodge and another Lodge offering 2,670 sq. ft of office space let at £51,000PA rising on a lease with an unexpired term of four years.

The Manor House Cranford which was built in 1899 to an exceptional standard for the Spencer family was converted back to residential use by the sellers in 2015 and now provides five large reception rooms, a kitchen breakfast room measuring 46 feet (in length) by 16 feet, with cloakroom, utility room and cellar and six bedrooms and four bathrooms above accessed from a double height oak panelled reception hall with a wide sweeping oak staircase (an additional secondary staircase connects the rear accommodation and first floor hallway).

Kenilworth Road, Blackdown is a highly sought-after area of north Leamington Spa within walking distance or a short drive from the town centre.

Today there is a great choice of high street and boutique shops, restaurants, cafes and bars, offering a unique shopping, dining and cultural experience. The river Leam runs through the town, and with its stunning architecture, tree-lined avenues, squares, parks and gardens, it is a very popular place to live transport links are excellent with the station about a 20-minute walk and the M40 just ten minutes away.
