Banner Homes is celebrating the launch of the show home at its latest development of luxury homes at Ferndale Gate, Blackwell, Worcestershire.
The development comprises just six, luxury 5 bedroom detached homes situated on one of the most desirable 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.
Sarah Brunell, Sales Manager for Banner Homes Midlands comments, “The new homes at Ferndale Gate are an excellent example of the high standard Banner Homes builds. Each property offers between 3,067 and 3,216 square feet of space and is fitted with a professionally designed contemporary kitchen that features the latest composite work surfaces and integrated appliances with stainless steel finishes.
“The bathrooms also benefit from cutting edge design and are fitted with ceramic tiles for durability and stylish white sanitary ware with chrome finishes. The master en-suite is also fitted with night time motion sensor guide lighting, adding that additional attention to detail.” concludes Sarah.
All the homes are finished to an excellent standard, with attention to detail being paramount throughout. For gadget enthusiasts, the principal rooms are future-proofed with hi-fi wiring; one has home cinema wiring. As an additional security feature, each home is fitted with an NSI-approved alarm system and security camera to the front door. Outside, each home benefits from a private garden with a generous patio area, ideal for sitting out on balmy summer’s evenings. All homes have a large garage with remote-controlled electric doors.
As well as Blackwell First School, just a short distance away are 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 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.
Prices start from £895,000. The show home will be open Thursday through to Monday from 10am to 5pm.
