The first homes on a new 620-house estate being built in Kenilworth have been put up for sale.

Linden Homes has started selling the first of the houses to be built along Glasshouse Lane on its Stoneleigh View development.

Detailed plans for the major estate - which will wrap around the Woodside Hotel and new Kenilworth School - were approved by Warwick District Council last November despite concerns over sustainability.

The planning committee also raised concerns over transparency as the major development is a joint venture between Vistry Linden and Milverton Homes - the council's own housing company.

WDC is investing £60 million in the project, which will include 248 affordable homes for the council and a further 62 houses to be built for renting by Milverton Homes.

The rest will be sold privately by Linden Homes, and the first phase are now on the market.

The website says: "Stoneleigh View is a prestigious development of 620 beautiful homes located off the desirable Glasshouse Lane in Kenilworth, just a mile and a half from the main shopping area.

"It is a stunning 76 acre development that is set to be one of the most desirable destinations in the area. Kenilworth is one of the most vibrant towns in Warwickshire with its bustling high street, eclectic mix of restaurants, bars and theatres, and multitude of leisure facilities and sports clubs.

"Combined with some excellent schools in the area, Kenilworth is ideal for families. Less than five miles from Coventry and just six miles from Warwick and Leamington Spa, Stoneleigh View is perfectly located with excellent access to many destinations in Warwickshire and beyond."

The cheapest house currently being advertised is a three-bed detached home for £419,995. The most expensive is at £639,995 for a four-bed detached home. The first phase only includes three and four bed homes.

Two of the show homes are also open, having been under construction since April 2022.
