Description

Whitestitch is a detached, two-storey dwelling situated at the end of Whitestitch Lane, accessed via a private drive which is owned by and shared with the Packington Estate. It is surrounded entirely by fields, managed woodland and the Packington Estate grounds thus enjoys some of the best 360 degree countryside views Warwickshire has to offer. It benefits from not being on the flight path in/out of Birmingham Airport and proximity to HS2.



This is an excellent opportunity to purchase a plot, extending to approximately 0.84 acres, with planning permission to create an exceptional family home. Amendments to approved plans (summarised below) to allow for a more personalised approach may be possible (subject to obtaining the necessary consents). Interested parties are advised to rely on their own enquiries in this regards.



Planning

Ref: PAP/2024/0398 granted on 04/11/2024

Summary: Demolition of existing dwelling, garage and outbuildings and construction of a replacement dwelling (modern & sustainable, two-storeys, three bedrooms, c. 3,000 sq ft) and associated works.



Planning permission was previously granted in 2022 for demolition of the existing dwelling, garage and outbuildings and the erection of replacement dwelling, ref. PAP/2021/0602. This approval was for essentially the same development (a replacement dwelling over two-storeys, SIX bedrooms, c. 3,000 sq ft), however both less modern and contemporary.



The ecology (condition of planning) is up to date and the newt fencing remains in place until March 2026. Further information can be found in the legal pack and more information can be found on the North Warwickshire Borough Council Planning Portal.



Services

We have been advised that mains electricity and water are available to the site.
