Location
Set in a semi rural position within Alvechurch, the property is approached by a private lane, alongside the Worcester and Birmingham Canal and is within close proximity to Alvechurch Marina, Alvechurch train station and local public house, 'The Weighbridge'. Approximately 0.6 miles from the property lies the centre of Alvechurch village which offers two Nurseries, First School (Crown Meadow), Middle School (Alvechurch Church of England School) and several shopping and eating facilities. Also, further afield are the facilities offered by both Redditch and Barnt Green Village.
The collection of properties within 'Kiln Court' are originally formed of Alvechurch Brickworks which supplied red bricks for buildings in the area during the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Red clay dug locally influenced the colour of the bricks, which became a characteristic of Alvechurch properties built during that period.
The Worcester and Birmingham Canal connected the Black Country to the sea by providing a link to the River Severn, opening trade routes to the world. The canal bustled with barges carrying freight in and out night and day. Nowadays tourist boats keep the canals busy. The route is also well renowned with walkers. The route is 30 miles long (recommended over two days) and has a total of 58 locks including the 30 Tardebigge Locks, one of the largest lock flights in Europe.
