House For Sale Old Warwick Road, Solihull, B94

This interesting piece of amenity land with frontage to Old Warwick Road will be offered for sale by public auction (subject to prior sale, reserve and conditions) at 6:30pm on Tuesday 16th July 2024 at The View, Hill Farm Marina, Stratford Road, Wootton Wawen, Warwickshire, B95 6DE.

Situated just off, but with frontage to, the Old Warwick Road (B4439) in the village of Lapworth, this intriguing parcel of amenity land is roughly ‘L’ shaped and benefits from access via a right of way over adjoining land parallel to the railway line. This opens out to a hardcore/stoned driveway (giving access to two adjoining cottages).

At right angles to and having frontage to The Old Warwick Road, is an area of (probably) former allotment/orchard, which would give purchasers scope for perhaps reactivating the orchard, creating an allotment, using the land for recreational or other use (STPP if required), and possibly some long-term ‘hope’ potential?

Bounded by well-defined fencing to the north, a well-established hedge to the Old Warwick Road and post and wire fencing on the eastern boundary, Although the land would benefit from some work, it is felt there is great scope, the opportunity to purchase such handy blocks of land in this area are rare and the auctioneers commend early inspection.

The land is within easy travelling distance of the Birmingham conurbation (approximately 10 miles), 5 miles south of Solihull and 6 miles north-west of Warwick. The national motorway network is easily accessed via J15 of the M40 and J4 of the M42. The village of Lapworth has a full range of local amenities, village shop, post office, off licence, village school, etc., together with a station with trains to Birmingham (Moor Street and Snowhill) and London (Marylebone). Birmingham International Airport, Railway Station and future HS2 Hub are all within easy driving distance.
