Situation

Situated close to Sutton Park, The Four Oaks Estate is originally part of a large forestry to encompass the adjoining Sutton Park. The Estate was initially laid out in the 1890s when the Four Oaks Park was bought by the Marquis of Clanricarde. The area was then developed as an exclusive private residential Estate and covenants encumbered on the residences have ensured that the Four Oaks Estate has preserved itself as a most attractive and highly desirable place to live. The property is situated in a highly desirable location with many amenities close by including restaurants and bistros within the park as well as a new development at the nearby Mere Green, which includes shopping facilities such as Waitrose and Marks& Spencer's food hall. For travelling further afield, the local Four Oaks station provides an effortless commute to both Birmingham and Lichfield. Nearby Sutton Park, which is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest, offers a great scope for walking, golf and a variety of other outdoor pursuits. The town of Sutton Coldfield provides an excellent choice of shops, restaurants and schooling including Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls and Highclare School. One of the many advantages of the area is its location for fast communications to the M42, M6, M6 Toll and Birmingham International/NEC. Purchasers are advised to check with the local council for up-to-date catchment areas.
