Lying in Hampton in Arden, a small village which is steeped in history and beauty, the development sits in the old Forest of Arden. Here, you will get the best of both worlds as the village is in a greenbelt corridor close to Birmingham.

You can enjoy the peace and tranquility of the surrounding forests and footpaths, whilst at the same enjoying the fact that Britain’s second largest city Birmingham, is only 16 miles away. With an abundance of shops, restaurant, bars and cinema’s there is something for everyone who comes to this city.

The Engine really is in the perfect location, a development with a combination of apartments and townhouses, some of these properties are new and some have been refurbished but all designed to complement the wonderful surroundings.

An exclusive development, these homes really are what dreams are made of and now you can own one. With a fashionable Birmingham postcode, these houses are a perfect mix of traditional and modern design and will have everything you want in your ideal home.

Interior Designer, Lorna Crawford-Jones, said the design of the homes was driven by purchaser. “The audience that the homes are marketed at is young people and those working at the airport. The design is contemporary and modern with straight lines, but with foreign influences from Chinese and Buddhist cultures. The colors used are bold, with reds, taupe and bronze” she said.

On the north of the development is the Berkswell, the new showhome just opened. A three bedroom, two bathroom house, this property is designed with Charles Church signature elegance and high specification which includes fully fitted kitchen with Siemens appliances and Ideal Standard fitted bathroom. The home has a lounge with dining area, kitchen, balcony and large garage.
