The accommodation has implemented planning and listed buildings consent from Stratford-on-Avon District Council under references 13/00185/FUL and 13/00186/LBC.

Where Dick Turpin stashed his ill-gotten gains, according to local legend, Harwoods House, land and buildings occupy a highly prominent and landmark position at the junction of the B4100 Warwick to Banbury Road and the B4455 Fosse Way, half way between Warwick and Gaydon, close to the village of Ashorne in the glorious Warwickshire countryside.
Jaguar Land Rover and Aston Martin are both close by at Gaydon, with the Warwick Technology Park also just up the road. Coventry and Warwickshire are known for being at the forefront of technical innovation, creating and developing digital and transport technologies for the future. Brands such as Geely London Electric Vehicle Company, PSA Peugeot Citroen, Rolls Royce Aerospace, Tata Motors and VivaRail have made their homes here and the area is a major centre for B2B and gaming/entertainment software.
