It sits on a generous wide plot at a prominent position opposite Warwick Castle rear entrance at the corner of Mill Street and Banbury Road; near St Nicholas park and the River Avon; with ready access in and out of town for the M40 motorway and Fosse Way;

Extensive refurbishment in the 1990's upon acquisition by the current vendors for their professional offices; included re-wiring with extensive double sockets wall lights and uprights; and installation of gas central heating with radiator provision;
