History

Kenilworth Court was built as rented family accommodation.

In a series of transactions between the mid-1950s and early 1970s, residents were able to acquire individual leases and eventually, as a body, the residents secured the freehold of the overall property. Since that time, Kenilworth Court has been run by the controlling company, Kenilworth Court Co-ownership Housing Association Ltd (or KCCHA). This company is wholly owned by leaseholders.

The current garden contained a tennis court prior to World War II, and was used for growing vegetables during the war.
