Introduction - This strategically well located land is situated to the east of the village of Chadwick End, south of Knowle and Dorridge.

Lot 1 lies between the built up area of Chadwick End village and Priests Park Wood, whilst Lot 2 abuts existing residential development on its southern boundary, has a western boundary to Chadwick End play area and eastern boundary to Priests Park Wood, with good long road frontage to Oldwich Lane West.

Solihull lies some 6 miles to the north and Warwick/Leamington Spa 8 miles to the south, Birmingham city centre, Coventry and the national motorway network are all within easy travelling distance, whilst fast trains serve London (Marylebone) and Birmingham (Snow Hill/Moor Street) from both Warwick Parkway and Lapworth stations. The new HS2 interchange near Birmingham International Airport is within easy driving distance.

The land is well well located within Solihull Metropolitan Borough and is felt to have long term ‘Hope Value’ for probably residential development, but in the short term for a continuation of livestock, Horse/pony grazing and continued arable production.

In addition to the long road frontage to Oldwich Lane West, there is also access through both Wheeler Close and Bakehouse Lane, the latter to Lot 1.
