THE GRAYLANDS

The Graylands is a remarkable home, having been built in the 1960s by an esteemed architect who lived in it for many years before offering it for sale in 2014. The property has undergone a complete transformation since then, with an extensive extension and renovation carried out in 2016/17 to bring it up to the highest standards of modern luxury.

Upon arriving at The Graylands, you’ll be greeted by a stunning brick-paved driveway that can accommodate up to 4-5 cars. The property is surrounded by lush, landscaped borders and laurel hedging, which provides screening and privacy. You’ll also find a state-of-the-art dual-port electric vehicle charger, ensuring that you’re ready to hit the road whenever you need to.

WARWICKSHIRE

Highland Road is just off Common Lane next to Kenilworth Common.

Positioned in the heart of England the county is famous for being the birthplace of William Shakespeare. There are no cities in Warwickshire since both Coventry and Birmingham were incorporated into the West Midlands County in 1974 and are now metropolitan authorities in themselves.

Warwickshire hosts several key towns including Leamington Spa Warwick, Stratford upon Avon, Kenilworth, Henley In Arden and Rugby to name a few.

The northern tip of the county is only three miles from the Derbyshire border. An average-sized English county covering an area of almost 2,000 km2, it runs some 60 miles north to south. Equivalently it extends as far north as Shrewsbury in Shropshire and as far south as Banbury in north Oxfordshire.
