FLOOR LAYOUT PLAN THIS PLAN IS FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY
It is not to scale and is intended to show the approximate relationship of one room to another, with an indication of the main fixtures and fittings Lapworth is a most delightful unspoilt village in which to reside, enjoying a rural environment, yet being only a few minutes drive from the larger villages of Knowle and Dorridge, whilst Solihull town centre is some five miles distant. Lapworth village contains local shops, excellent local inns, rail commuter service from Lapworth Station, village hall, St Mary the Virgin Parish Church, plus a junior and infant school in Station Lane. Surrounding Lapworth is lovely greenbelt countryside with many rural, canalside walks and bridle paths. There are two National Trust properties close to Lapworth, the historic houses of Baddesley Clinton and Packwood House. Stratford-upon Avon is some 14 miles away and Warwick approximately 9 miles. Furthermore, the N.E.C., Birmingham Airport and Railway Station the M.42 and M.40 motorway links are all within very easy reach . Valley Farm is located at the head of a quiet no through road, in an idyllic locality, set amidst some 16.4 acres of gardens and pastureland. The property dates from the turn of the century and offers accommodation on three floors, plus an extensive range of brick and tile outbuildings, all with tremendous scope.
Valley Farm therefore offers enormous potential for re-development and/or enlargement and in this respect, Marson Rathbone and Taylor, LLP MRT Architects, of Stratford upon Avon, have carried out a feasibility study and drawn up a detailed Planning Strategy document outlining various proposals for re-development of the site.
These proposals include:-
1) Permitted development and planning permission for extension and remodelling of the main dwelling to provide 6 bedrooms with excellent reception rooms linked to a leisure building with swimming pool, plus detached garage and implement storage building.
2) A replacement dwelling, to provide a five bedroom detached house with linked leisure complex, plus garage block, with the possibility of further later permissions for a basement suite of rooms and attic bedrooms.
This detailed planning strategy document and associated drawings are available for inspection through the Agents' Hockley Heath office and are obviously all subject to the appropriate planning consents being obtained from the Local Authority.
. The present owners have already carried out certain refurbishment works to the property, including many replacement windows, plus an attractive oak floor to the lounge, with a deep bay to the front and doors at the rear, which combine to provide a light and airy room and offer superb views. To the rear of Valley Farm is a laundry, utility area and office all of which would be ideal for conversion into one large kitchen/breakfast and living room.
The four bedrooms are at first and second floor level, the principal bedroom having a dressing area with en suite leading off and open country views are enjoyed from these rooms.
There are extensive outbuildings to Valley Farm which include a two storey barn with part flagstone floor and open roof trusses, range of four brick stables, workshop and two double garages, all of which offer potential for conversion and are included in the Planning Strategy document.
The situation of Valley Farm is second to none and occupies a totally unspoilt locality approached down a long road, which culminates in a duck pond on the left hand side and a five bar gated entrance giving access to the driveway and outbuildings.
This property therefore presents a wonderful opportunity to create an outstanding home in one of the most attractive parts of Lapworth.
