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

The Spinney

The Spinney was built in 1906 and is constructed of brickwork with rough cast elevations beneath a well pitched and gabled roof with later extensions and additions. The property is approached from Rising Lane along a sweeping tarmacadam driveway with well tended gardens leading to a parking area with natural pond with waterfall. The property also has the advantage of a detached garage block for 4 cars with two bedroom accommodation above.
The property has the superb benefit of an additional pillared and potentially gated access off Packwood Lane, in close proximity to Packwood House which is a delightful tree lined access leading to the stable block and rear of the property.
The property benefits from two accesses one off Rising Lane with a further potential gated access off Packwood Lane leading to the rear of the property all set within 5 acres of superb land.

Planning Permission

The property benefits from a planning permission granted in June 2011 reference W/11/0302 for the replacement of the existing dwelling house with the new property being set behind the existing buildings and whilst the new property is being constructed it is possible to remain in the original house but this would have to be demolished once the new development is completed.
The property also benefits from a further planning permission granted in December 2011, reference W/11/0938 for proposed replacement stables of brick and tile construction located approximately half way along the extensive plot.
