Knightlow Park, Harborne by Redrow Homes in Birmingham

About the Development

It is said that the residents of the ‘dry’ Quaker town of Bournville once frequented Harborne for some much needed revelry. Just five miles from the centre of Birmingham, this picturesque suburb has it all, from great schools to golf clubs.

Which makes it the perfect location for Redrow’s award winning Heritage Collection, which also has everything you need to live life to the full, including superb, family friendly interiors, designed for the way you live today.

Amenities

There is a Tesco Extra store on Hagley Road, and a nearby off licence and convenience store at Harborne Wine on Knightlow Road. The nearest Post Office is Fountain Road, just off Hagley Road.

Dining

Harborne has a huge selection of restaurants to savour, with Italian food especially well represented. Try the organic and free range delights of Buonissimo, the fresh taste of Zizzi’s or the traditional Italian of Valentinos.

Or go for something different, with the stylish Sabai Sabai Thai, the Indian flavours of Dosa Mania or the oriental taste of Henry Wong. For a special treat, head into Birmingham and discover delicious flavours of the famous Balti Triangle.

Knightlow Park lies within easy reach of a choice of primary schools, including Harborne Primary, St Mary’s RC Primary, St Peter’s CofE Primary and the ‘outstanding’ OFSTED rated Chad Vale and Our Lady of Fatima primary schools.
