Description
Situated right on the border of Northfield and Bournville, Oakville Place offers the convenience of city centre living (The Mailbox is just a 15 minute drive away!) with the tranquility of a leafy suburban setting.
Oakville Place is set on Hole Lane, which is part of the Bournville Trust and contains nearly all residential properties, some dating back 200 years. The nearest shops are round the corner on Heath Road, and those not looking to venture into the city can try Northfield Shopping Centre, which boasts an array of different shops from WH Smith to Dorothy Perkins to Pets Corner!
About the area
Oakville Place is a stuning location amongst tree lined avenues and boutique shops, and sits on land bordering the Bournville Village Trust.
Northfield has an extremely interesting history, and evidence shows that people have been settling in the area since the stone age! It is the site of amazing discoveries, from stone age tools to roman coins, and to this day remains a location of interest to geologists due to its rich history.
Nowadays, Northfield is a charming community that holds a yearly carnival on Victoria Common. The people are friendly and caring about their local area, and charities such as Northfield Ecocentre strive to keep the area as welcoming and enjoyable to live in as it always has been.
