Flat rent and house rent in Bournville provides a wonderful balance of great properties, location and community. To rent in Bournville is to live in one of Birmingham's finest suburbs, dominated by beautiful houses and greenery in a different but equally appealing way as Edgbaston.

Bournville has a fascinating and obvious history, thus is ideal for those looking to rent in an historic location. It was formed in 1879 when Richard and George Cadbury moved their chocolate factory to the previously rural location. George Cadbury constructed Bournville as a village for his workers in order to provide them with better living conditions, lifestyle and general health and well-being. As a consequence, the development of Bournville has been for the communal good, focusing on schools, hospitals, museums, public baths and reading rooms, with no public houses due to Cadbury's Quaker roots. With approximately 7,800 homes across 1,000 acres, with 100 acres of park and open spaces, flat and house rent in Bournville is very desirable.

House rent in Bournville offers families a great range of activities, from physical outdoor sports to quaint indoor shopping. Families also benefit from the three primary schools, a secondary school with sixth form and Bourville College of Further Education. Although it was founded by Quakers, Bournville offers beautiful Anglican and Orthodox churches as well as its broadly appealing meeting house. The peaceful, sophisticated and safe environment gives houses for rent in Bournville another selling point to families moving to Birmingham.
