Location

The property is situated in a highly convenient pocket of Edgbaston with a B17 postcode, positioning it perfectly on the cusp of Harborne and Bearwood.

Bernard Road sits parallel to major commuter networks, offering exceptional transport options:

Road Links: Immediate proximity to the A456 Hagley Road provides a direct driving or bus route into the city centre within 10 to 15 minutes. It also offers quick access out toward the M5 Motorway for wider UK travel

Bus Infrastructure: The nearby Bearwood Interchange acts as a major crossroads for local transit, routing frequent buses across Birmingham and the Black Country.

Rail Access: While there is no station on the immediate doorstep, Five Ways, University Station and Birmingham New Street are easily accessible by bike, bus, or taxi.

Residents can choose between three distinct neighbourhood high streets, each catering to different lifestyles:

Bearwood High Street (Walking Distance) features excellent day-to-day shopping, including an Aldi and Iceland alongside the historic, Art Deco Thimblemill Library and independent cafes.

Harborne High Street (approx. 5-Minute Drive) is known for its affluent village feel, boutique storefronts, upscale pubs, and premium supermarkets like Waitrose and Marks & Spencer.

Edgbaston Village (approx. 10-Minute Drive): A luxury lifestyle hub hosting monthly artisan markets, high-end pubs like The Physician, and the Michelin-starred Simpsons Restaurant.

Despite its proximity to the city centre, the location is surrounded by abundant green flag parklands:
