The Stoney Road

Product Information

Stoney Road Allotments consists of 123 council-owned allotments covering around 5 hectares just south of Coventry city centre. [1] They were created in the mid 19th century as pleasure-gardens for the people of the city, and were Grade II* listed in 2001. [2] History [ edit ] If they do survive, they offer great access to greenspace and provide well-being benefits. The money will be used to fund the renovation works to the summer hoses on plots 9,13 and 47.

Communal Garden - A private rear garden with paved seating areas followed by a lawn with mature shrubs along the boundaries. In 1870 it was noted that there was “a great number of small gardens, all well cultivated, and much sought after in consequence of their easy distance and pleasant situation”. The gardens were enclosed by hedges and would have featured ornamental planting as well as productive plants. In the mid-1930s a strip of gardens fronting Stoney Road to the west was developed for semi-detached houses and Stoney Road, which had previously been a dead end, was connected to the surrounding streets. In 1935 the City Council acquired Stoney Road Garden, which became Stoney Road Allotments.The three summer houses are all small buildings, with areas ranging between eight and five sqm. They are constructed in a variety of styles and materials but are all built in a traditional way with either a masonry or timber frame. Where they do survive, they still offer the treasured access to greenspace and benefits to wellbeing that they were originally intended to provide. The grant will help to fund restoration work to the houses on plots 9,13 and 47 so they can once more be used by the allotment community.

Up Estates has not sought to verify the legal title of the property and the buyers must obtain verification from their solicitor. Bathroom - 2.60m x 2.00m - Being partially tiled and having a walk-in shower, low level W/C, pedestal wash basin, central heated towel rail and a double glazed opaque window. Stoney Road is rare in that many of its original summer houses have survived, with five of the summer houses individually listed at Grade II. However, these nationally important buildings are at increasing and immediate risk of loss, through deterioration and inappropriate repairs. The council said the allotments are a "hidden gem" and hope the funding will help keep them "preserved for many years to come," said Councillor David Welsh, Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities.Bedroom Two - 1.78m x 3.30m - Sizable second bedroom having a central heated radiator and double glazed window. The allotments are only one of five on the National Heritage List for England, all located within the Midlands. However, they all have a risk of immediate loss due to deterioration and infrequent repairs.
