Swanswell Gate Studio - Coventry

Converted 1440 gate tower apartment in central Coventry

History

Swanswell Gate Studio is a converted 1440 gate tower in central Coventry, one of the city's original medieval gates. The property sits within Lady Herbert's Garden, a historic garden that links to Cook Street Gate. Guests sleep in a three-floor apartment that retains the original turret and a special circular window designed to show the top of the tower.

Location

The studio is 400 metres from Coventry University and a 5-minute stroll from Coventry Cathedral. FarGo Village, a creative quarter with independent shops and food stalls, is a 14-minute walk away. SkyDome Arena is 1 km from the apartment, and the Coventry Building Society Arena is 5 km away.

Rooms

The deluxe apartment is spread across three floors with a kitchen on the ground level, a lounge on the middle floor, and a bedroom on the top floor. The bathroom is on the bedroom floor, and the property includes floating stairs and a spiral wooden staircase. The rooms are soundproofed and have 10 heaters, though often only one is needed because heat rises.

Amenities

The apartment has a fully equipped kitchen with an oven, microwave, and coffee machine. A work desk and a dining area are provided on the middle floor. Free WiFi is available, and the property is non-smoking throughout with soundproof rooms and heating.
