Grove Avenue is situated in the desirable location of Moseley. Moseley is a distinctive and much-loved suburb located about two miles south of Birmingham city centre, in the West Midlands.

This area is also best known for its wide range of primary and secondary schools and great transport links in and out of the City Centre.
