Ferndale Gate – a collection of exclusive homes situated on one of the most desirable residential roads in Blackwell, a sought-after village in the centre of the golden triangle that includes the picturesque semi-rural villages of Barnt Green, Lickey and Alvechurch. A beautiful and tranquil haven located to the south of Birmingham.
Blackwell Village is mainly residential in nature with large homes built on leafy plots shrouded by hedges and greenery.
There are a number of exceptional schools in the surrounding areas. Blackwell First School can be found in the heart of Blackwell Village, taking children from Reception Class up to 11 years of age. Just a short distance away is North Bromsgrove High School, a mixed comprehensive school for 13–18 year olds which has, in 2010, achieved outstanding A Level results and its best GCSE results since records began. Bromsgrove School offers outstanding boarding and day co-education from 2–18, and is thought of as one of Britain’s finest independent schools. A little further afield in Birmingham is King Edwards independent day school for boys 11–18, and Edgbaston High School for girls from 2 ½ right through to 18.
There are numerous local shopping facilities, with Blackwell being served by a village shop for those everyday essentials. Just a short distance away the neighbouring Barnt Green Village offers a wide range of shops to include a Tesco Express, butchers, delis and greengrocers, in addition to clothing boutiques, salons and eateries. For that larger weekly shop, Bromsgrove plays host to Morrisons and Asda, with Sainsbury’s being in nearby Redditch.
Leisure facilities are in abundance. The stunning Lickey Hills rise to the North, providing a natural barrier to the bustling city of Birmingham, and offering wonderful walks that enjoy panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Blackwell Golf Club is an exclusive Golf Club offering welcoming facilities in a farmhouse setting, and Bromsgrove Golf Centre offers ‘pay and play’ golfing.
There is sailing on the Upper Bittell Reservoir and a number of local clubs dedicated to tennis, cricket, badminton and squash. Perfect for the children – Blackwell Adventure is a unique outdoor activity centre offering camping and adventure facilities set amidst 50 acres of beautiful parkland
Blackwell has excellent access to the M5 and M42 motorways, and to the A38, making it ideally placed for commuting and travelling for work and holidays, with Birmingham International Airport being just over 20 miles away. There are train stations in Barnt Green and Alvechurch with regular services to Birmingham and Redditch, and there is also a bus service running through this well connected village.
