Despite its sheltered aspect Frogmore Woods in Kenilworth has strong transport links.

It is total seclusion with serious connectivity. You could live almost off grid, surrounded by private woodland, yet still be a commutable distance from Derby which is around 70 minutes away.

Birmingham, London, the M40, M42, and A45 are all within easy reach too, making it an aspiring and intriguing location for those seeking both seclusion and convenience.

The property is owned by a private local family who originally intended to develop it themselves. Having secured planning and completed the necessary surveys, they have decided not to proceed, and the site is now on the open market with an asking price of £2m.

The building dates back to the early 1940s and formed part of the wider RAF Honiley complex during the Second World War.

RAF Honiley operated as a fighter and training station, with aircraft such as Spitfires, Hurricanes and later Mosquitos flying from the base.

The structure on site functioned as auxiliary infrastructure and was built to be blast-resistant, which explains the unusually substantial brickwork.

Edward Holt who is overseeing the property sale said: “In 14 years of estate agency, this is one of the most unique opportunities I’ve had the privilege of selling.

“Planning consent for a contemporary home in 55 acres of private Green Belt woodland is exceptionally rare.

“It’s rare to see a former RAF support building from the 1940s still standing, let alone with the opportunity to give it a new purpose.

“Sites like this connect directly back to the generation that flew from RAF Honiley, and that history deserves recognition.”
