Woodcote House and Estate

Woodcote, once the home of the Wise family, is now HQ of Warwickshire Police

Woodcote is a 19th-century manor house and estate on the western boundary of the village. During the Second World War it was used as a convalescent home for military personnel, notably American servicemen. It was home to the headquarters of Warwickshire Police from 1949. A new purpose-built headquarters for the Warwickshire Police at Woodcote was proposed, but the planning application was refused by Warwick District Council on 31 October 2007. A revised application was subsequently approved, but the site was not redeveloped. In 2011 it was announced that Woodcote was to be sold, and the headquarters relocated to Leamington Spa. Following the construction of new control room an Warwick and the inclusion of some of the estate in local housing planning allocation, the site was put up for sale in 2018. In 2019 it was decide to make the location once again the police HQ.
