Kenilworth Road, Coventry
Full Details
42 Kenilworth Road
Constructed in 1914, 42 Kenilworth Road is one of the earliest houses on this prestigious tree-lined avenue. Originally part of the historic Stivichall Estate, the property occupies a generous plot, reflecting the early 20th-century trend of affluent families seeking space and status beyond Coventry’s city centre. While the house has not been fully maintained in recent years, it presents a fabulous opportunity for refurbishment or redevelopment, allowing a buyer to restore its Edwardian charm and create a stunning contemporary family home set within mature gardens.
