Full Property Description

LOCATION

Elizabeth Court is a stunning development of just 21 one and two bedroom luxury apartments built by McCarthy and Stone in 2016 in the garden village of Bournville, thoughtfully designed exclusively for the over 60s. Built on the former site of the Bournville Village Trust offices, the exterior design has been carefully managed to maintain the Victorian feel of the area by retaining the Oak Tree Lane facing façade from the original building.

Located in the heart of Bournville, Birmingham city centre is approximately six miles away and easily accessible with the nearest bus stop just 100 metres away, or the Train Station in Bournville via the Cross City Line. The Historic Bournville Village Green can be found 300 metres away offering an array of local shops and businesses including a Chemist, Newsagent, Hairdresser, Bakery, Butcher, GP surgery, Dental Surgery and Coffee Shops.

The property is also convenient for access to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Selly Oak, and the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital in Northfield.
