About this property

LOCATION Selly Oak is one of the most sought-after residential areas in South Birmingham due particularly to its close proximity to Birmingham University, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Birmingham City Centre. Today the area is a hive of activity hosting many sought after schools including Selly Oak Academy and other facilities and amenities. The area has great transport links into Birmingham City Centre and the surrounding areas via regular road and rail public transport services. Interestingly, the ‘Oak’ element of the name Selly Oak comes from a prominent oak tree that formerly stood on Bristol Road!
