Blackwell, Bromsgrove, Worcestershire Ferndale Gate – a collection of exclusive homes situated on one of the most desirable residential roads in Blackwell, a sought-after village in the centre of the golden triangle that includes the picturesque semi-rural villages of Barnt Green, Lickey and Alvechurch. A beautiful and tranquil haven located to the south of Birmingham. Blackwell Village is mainly residential in nature with large homes built on leafy plots shrouded by hedges and greenery. There are a number of exceptional schools in the surrounding areas. Blackwell First School can be found in the heart of Blackwell Village, taking children from Reception Class up to 11 years of age. Just a short distance away is North Bromsgrove High School, a mixed comprehensive school for 13 –18 year olds which has, in 2010, achieved outstanding A Level results and its best GCSE results since records began. Bromsgrove School offers outstanding boarding and day co-education from 2 –18, and is thought of as one of Britain’s finest independent schools. A little further afield in Birmingham is King Edwards independent day school for boys 11–18, and Edgbaston High School for girls from 2 ½ right through to 18.

There are numerous local shopping facilities, with Blackwell being served by a village shop for those everyday essentials. Just a short distance away the neighbouring Barnt Green Village offers a wide range of shops to include a Tesco Express, butchers, delis and greengrocers, in addition to clothing boutiques, salons and eateries. For that larger weekly shop, Bromsgrove plays host to Morrisons and Asda, with Sainsbury’s being in nearby Redditch. Leisure facilities are in abundance. The stunning Lickey Hills rise to the North, providing a natural barrier to the bustling city of Birmingham, and offering wonderful walks that enjoy panoramic views over the surrounding countryside. Blackwell Golf Club is an exclusive Golf Club offering welcoming facilities in a farmhouse setting, and Bromsgrove Golf Centre offers ‘pay and play’ golfing.

There is sailing on the Upper Bittell Reservoir and a number of local clubs dedicated to tennis, cricket, badminton and squash. Perfect for the children – Blackwell Adventure is a unique outdoor activity centre offering camping and adventure facilities set amidst 50 acres of beautiful parkland. Blackwell has excellent access to the M5 and M42 motorways, and to the A38, making it ideally placed for commuting and travelling for work and holidays, with Birmingham International Airport being just over 20 miles away. There are train stations in Barnt Green and Alvechurch with regular services to Birmingham and Redditch, and there is also a bus service running through this well connected village. Ferndale Gate is the perfect place to raise your family – exclusive homes offering luxury living in a desirable village.

Customer service… As an established business, now in its 35th year, Banner Homes has long since recognised that continued success comes not only from the expertise of the team itself, but from the importance it places on the relationships it has with contractors, business associates and, most importantly, you, the customer. It is widely recognised that buying a home can be very stressful and, with this in mind, Banner makes every effort to guide you through the purchasing process, regardless of how many homes you have bought before. On reservation of your new Banner home, we provide you with a comprehensive manual which is designed to help ease this process, and aims to answer most questions which may arise. A Demonstration and Inspection Meeting will be carried out prior to handover of your new home. This meeting enables you to inspect your new home before you complete its purchase. You will also have the benefit

of discussing how the heating system and appliances work, at a time when you are not having to be concerned with the actual move itself. Upon completion, you will be given details of the Banner Homes Customer Services, and details of our 24-hour emergency lines to ensure someone is on hand should you need help out of working hours. The NHBC 10-year warranty ensures Banner’s responsibility to resolve matters arising up to two years after legal completion, and guarantees the property structurally for a further eight years.

Cutting edge, traditional style homes backed by fabulous customer service – your home stays a Banner home long after you’ve moved in.

Superior homes, superb locations Banner Homes has been building since 1975 and has achieved a considerable reputation for developing homes of traditional quality whether single houses or developments of several hundred dwellings. Driven by its mission ‘to be the best medium-sized developer and retailer of new homes in central and southern England’, Banner’s core belief of ‘Smarter Thinking’ filters through to customer and colleague alike. It demonstrates the great care and consideration each person at Banner puts into the build process, making every Banner home the very best it can be and enhancing the purchasing experience. Banner is committed to leading the industry with innovation and enhancing the lives of its customers. In embracing new technology and conserving energy and the environment, Banner creates homes which are designed, built and packaged for the 21st century. The strapline in Banner’s logo is ‘Building our future’, the vision being to create a built environment that will be relevant and sustainable for its purchasers’ children and their children’s children. What Banner builds today is its legacy for future generations, and the team at Banner aims to leave a legacy that its staff, suppliers, contractors, agents and customers will be proud of.

This brochure and the show homes are designed to give a general idea of the type of product on the development and how it can be decorated and furnished; they are not, however, to be taken as part of the specification or contract. Dimensions are as accurate as practicable, but they may vary depending on the internal finishes. The latest materials are always used and, therefore, certain modifications are always inevitable. Each prospective purchaser should, therefore, check the plans and specification of the product in which they are interested at the sales office before making a reservation. Purchasers should obtain the approved postal name of the development from the Sales Advisors on reservation. The marketing name may not always be retained.
