Orton Road Warton | Tamworth | Warwickshire Orton Road Warton | Tamworth | Warwickshire ORTON ROAD A stunning and energy efficient five bedroom house recently built by the current owners in an exclusive enclave of seven individual homes surrounded by open countryside. The property has been built to a high specification with a luxurious contemporary style. Step Inside Orton Road A real house for the future ...... The central heating can be controlled by iPhone with the Geo Location feature. Neo will lower the temperature in the house when it detects the last person has left and will turn the heating back on when it detects someone is on their way home. The impressive marble floor in this large entrance hall sets the standard of the high specifications throughout this house There are two large reception rooms divided by a double fronted wood burner with contemporary limestone floors. A stunning kitchen/breakfast room is the heart of the home. Extra high ceilings and the glass roof provide a spacious contemporary atmosphere with bi-fold doors leading to the garden terrace. It’s a fabulous space for entertaining or to enjoy family life. We will miss the character of the home we have created here, utilising high quality materials such as the natural stone tiling to be found throughout, from the monochrome marble flooring in the hall to the granite and marble bathrooms. The beautifully designed kitchen with central island and casual dining has quartz worktops which are scratch and stain resistant. An additional preparation sink and highly efficient Quooker tap and steam oven are among the many features of this well planned room. The south facing kitchen/breakfast room is so big and airy, with almost a full wall of windows due to the two sets of bi-fold doors which open onto the patio. There are also two huge rooflights which flood the room with light from above. Seller Insight A stunning five bedroom home built by the current owners in a small urbanisation of six other self builds, this fantastic property at Orton Road is both elegant and efficient. “We wanted to create something really bright and airy with a feeling of space,” say the owners, “but above all a home which is economical and easy to maintain. The amazing heat recovery ventilation system and vast stretches of south facing glass windows in the kitchen/ breakfast room providing solar heat mean that we need only turn on the underfloor heating to the lowest setting, as the whole house is kept warm by the one room. Wood burners are central to two reception rooms, too, creating a cosy, welcoming atmosphere in the house.” A particularly notable feature of this stylish modern home is the first floor glass bottom balcony overlooking open farmland, accessed from the master bedroom. “It is just lovely to be able to wake up first in the morning and gaze out over fantastic countryside views,” say the owners, “keeping an eye on the changing weather and seasons. Built in accordance with safety regulations, the frameless glass balustrade allows uninterrupted views whilst ensuring it is safe for children too.” Warton itself is a small village close to canals and lakes, five miles east of Tamworth. “The local area is full of hidden gems and lovely surprises,” say the owners, “and we are constantly discovering new places to visit. The North Warwickshire and Leicestershire area is so unspoilt, it almost feels like stepping back in time. There are countless reasonably priced restaurants and cafés serving delicious food, too.” Warton offers many walks through surrounding open countryside, a thriving village shop and several friendly pubs. There is a school in the village, the property also being within the catchment area of the esteemed Polesworth High School. These comments are the personal views of the current owner and are included as an insight into life at the property. They have not been independently verified, should not be relied on without verification and do not necessarily reflect the views of the agent. The attention to detail for this build is admirable, there are even silent floor joists on the first floor. The bedrooms have engineered oak flooring, fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathrooms with motion sensor energy lighting. This master suite has a door out to a wonderful balcony , the seamless glass ensures uninterrupted views of neighbouring farmland to enjoy your morning coffee or relax and unwind on a summer evening. The fifth bedroom currently has a wall of sliding doors to offer a great office space. Step Outside Orton Road The tranquillity and amazing views really are quite breathtaking and can be enjoyed from the private, easily maintained rear garden or from the first floor balcony. The garden is large enough to feel spacious, yet still manageable, and is very private too.

    Chapter 6 6 A High Quality Environment Pre-submission publication document 57 CHAPTER 6 - A HIGH QUALITY ENVIRONMENT 6.1 Delivering a high quality environment will involve protecting and enhancing Tamworth’s network of ‘urban green’ to provide sufficient opportunities for sport and recreation and biodiversity. Through positive planning, development will achieve high quality design that preserves and enhances Tamworth’s historic character. 6.2 Despite being a predominantly urban authority, the planned layout of Tamworth has resulted in a unique legacy in the form of a network of urban green and blue infrastructure which runs east-west and north-south through the centre of the Borough. These main corridors follow the lines of the Rivers Tame and Anker and the Kettlebrook, with more local links extending into the housing and employment areas. These links offer significant benefits, acting as a sustainable transport network for walking and cycling which is accessible to all residents. Furthermore they play a key role in delivering benefits around increased community cohesion, education, regeneration and improving health and wellbeing. 6.3 With the exception of the Anker Valley Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood, the limited supply of suitable large sites that could feasibly accommodate new open space means that there are few opportunities to create new open space as part of development. It will be critical that the Anker Valley development has a well designed, useable network of open space and that it makes the most of its immediate links with the countryside. 6.4 Beyond the Anker Valley Sustainable Urban Neighbourhood, it will be crucial to make the most efficient use of Tamworth’s network of environmental assets, including the quality of existing open space through management and developer contributions.

  • Greater Birmingham HMA Strategic Growth Study
    8 STRATEGIC GREEN BELT REVIEW Approach and Methodology Background and Study Approach 8.1 In the context of seeking to address the shortfall in housing need across the HMA, this section moves on to present a strategic review of the Green Belt. 8.2 A significant proportion of the land in the HMA Area outside the built-up areas is covered by Green Belt policy, requiring the demonstration of Exceptional Circumstances through Local Plan Review for any alterations to be made to its extent. 8.3 The West Midlands Green Belt was created following the publication of Circular 42/55 which invited local planning authorities to consider the establishment of Green Belts in their development plans. As in other parts of the country, the designation of Green Belt was a reaction to the urban sprawl along transport corridors along with growing car ownership increasing the accessibility of rural areas. Land had already been bought by local authorities on the edge of the major urban areas to prevent further outward sprawl, when, in the early 1960s there were proposals for a Green Belt around the Birmingham conurbation. 8.4 Green Belt proposals were put forward as amendments to development plans but remained formally unapproved until 1975, when the Secretary of State approved the West Midlands Green Belt, although a quarter remained ‘interim’ and was only introduced in later reviews of structure and local plans. The West Midlands Green Belt covers approximately 900 square miles and extends between 6 and 15 miles from the built edge of the conurbation, surrounding and abutting a number of towns and cities: Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Cannock, Coventry, Lichfield, Tamworth, Rugby, Stratford upon Avon, Warwick/Leamington, Bridgnorth and Telford (Figure 24).
