A home in a historic Warwick building has been put on the market.

A two-bedroom apartment in East Gate on Jury Street has been made available for £700,000.

Described as a "truly remarkable historical building" the grade I listed home is on the market with Hawkesford in Warwick.

Recently used as a holiday property, the home also has ramparts which act as a balcony.

The brochure says: "The East Gate and St Peter's Chapel is a Grade I listed property having an extremely interesting history dating back many centuries with St Peter's Chapel believed to have been constructed above the gate in around 1426. 

"The gate itself was constructed in the 12th century at the same time as the castle and wall were erected.

"The building has had many uses, but was initially built as a chapel for the local community. 

"Since 1700 it was used as an educational building right up to fairly recent times. The original Kings High School leased the property from 1916 until 2009.

"The current owners purchased the property in 2010 and undertook significant repairs and modernised this property into the outstanding living accommodation that we find today. 

"This iconic building has had a new roof, repairs to much of the stonework, repairs to the clock as well as having mains drainage, water, electricity and gas connected to it in order that this high specification property can function very well as a private dwelling. 

"The property is situated in the heart of Warwick with fantastic elevated views not only from the living accommodation but also the ramparts that run around three of it sides. 

"The property has, up until recently been used for a holiday property, let out to many people from all corners of the world and gives any potential new custodian either an amazing private home or a potential business opportunity."
