Alternative accommodation for Lutterworth households

Lutterworth takes its name from an Old English word for a clear, bright river, probably an old name for the Swift, which still runs past the town. Like any market town, its homes can be put out of use by water, fire or storms.

The town is small, at 10,833 people, so it rarely has the family-sized rooms a displaced household needs for weeks. Estates such as Greenacres sit beside the old centre, with its 16th-century Shambles Inn, the town's oldest timber-framed building.

Sullivan Heights is about 15 miles by road from Lutterworth, Stoke Lodge and Stoke House about 16 miles and Humber Hub about 17 miles. The A426 runs from Lutterworth to Rugby, which keeps the route to school and work straightforward while the house is repaired.

A whole house gives each person a bed, a kitchen for family meals and a washing machine. Insurers and loss adjusters can book on the household's behalf, with the claim reference on the pro-forma invoice.

If the repairs run over, the stay is extended with a fresh pro-forma, up to twelve months in all.

For the children, War Memorial Park south of Coventry city centre is the city's main park and the home of the Godiva Festival. Lutterworth itself grew from 8,294 people in 2001 to 10,833 in 2021.
