Build your dream home in one of Warwickshire's most picturesque self-build plots.

Planning was granted in March 2022 for a substantial five-bedroom detached family home boasting more than 3,000 sq ft of accommodation. Set at the end of a private road off Whitestitch Lane, Meriden, the plot is circa 0.85 acres and is surrounded entirely by fields, managed woodland and the Packington Estate grounds thus enjoying 360 degree countryside views.

We believe this is an exciting and unique opportunity, one that rarely presents itself to the market. Whether it is the superb rural location of Meriden, or the peaceful and endless mature grounds of Pakington Estate that surround it, or the expansive and well thought out design that is ready go, this stunning self-build project is truly a one of a kind.


The plot is offered with no upward chain.

Location - Whitestitch Lane is surrounded by beautiful countryside approximately one mile away from Meriden village centre. Meriden is a village and civil parish which was historically part of Warwickshire and lies between the cities of Birmingham and Coventry. It is close to the Warwickshire border within a green belt of the countryside known as the Meriden Gap. The village is approximately six miles east of the next major town of Solihull, 6.5 miles west-northwest of Coventry, 21.5 miles from Birmingham city centre, and 91 miles north-west of London. All these towns and cities are perfectly accessible via the superb A roads and motorway links close to the village. Meriden provides immediate amenities for anyone living on Whitestitch Lane, while The Forest Of Arden Golf Club & Leisure is only two miles away and is recognised as one of the premier golf courses in the UK. For families, there is an Ofsted rated "good" Meriden Church of England Primary School just down the road and secondary education is catered for with excellent public and private schools in Solihul, Coventry, Warwick and Leamington.


Packington Estate is situated in the centre of the country nestled between Birmingham and Coventry. Its proximity to these two cities has shaped the Estate in becoming a mixed use, diverse hive of activity where the traditional country Estate meets the urban fringe. The Estate's mix of farming, forestry, residential, commercial and leisure business gives a unique balance to the local environment. Packington Hall has a history steeped in forestry and woodland and still has large areas of the original 'Forest of Arden' that once stretched from Stratford-upon-Avon in the south to Stafford in the north. The Parkland setting and surrounding countryside makes for a truly unrivalled and ideal location for modern family living - the combination of peace and quiet within a rural location with all the amenities you require close by.

Planning - North Warwickshire Borough Council
