Homes in Warwick
Warwick is a historic county town dominated by its castle. After the Great Fire of 1694, much of the centre was rebuilt in brick and stone, so the town has fine Georgian and Queen Anne buildings alongside surviving medieval timber-framed houses such as those near the Lord Leycester Hospital. Many buildings in the centre are listed, and the town has extensive conservation areas.
Victorian and Edwardian homes surround the centre in Emscote and Myton, and the town has grown with post-war estates and large modern developments at Warwick Gates, Chase Meadow and Heathcote. Woodloes Park was built in the 1970s and 1980s. The River Avon flows past the castle, and low-lying areas are at risk of flooding. Warwick is popular with commuters to Birmingham, Coventry and London, and demand for period homes is strong.
Areas we cover include Warwick Gates, Chase Meadow, Woodloes Park, Emscote, Myton, Heathcote.
