Oaklands is situated between Knowle and Lapworth. Knowle is a large village just about 1 mile from Junction 5 of the M42 motorway and some 3 miles from Solihull town centre. Village amenities are centred around a traditional high street, offering a high-end local butcher, luxury bakery, hairdressers, boutique dress shops for both men and women, a handful of bespoke wine, gin and ale bars, with new acclaimed eatery and bar 'Jacques' due to open in 2020. The Greswolde Hotel and Wilsons Arms offer an ongoing traditional presence, whilst local residents are able to satisfy all shopping needs not only from individual stores but small Tesco as well as picking up a Costa along the way. The picturesque sight of whites on the cricket pitch are often seen on a summer's afternoon at the well-supported cricket and tennis club off Station Road. Knowle football club off Hampton Road and excellent rugby facility at The Old Silhillians ground appeal to all age groups and new members are most welcome.



Lapworth is a wonderful Warwickshire village on the outskirts of Solihull and has established itself as one of the area's most aspirational villages. Abundant country walks are favoured amongst locals throughout all seasons, being on the junction of the Stratford Canal and the Grand Union Canal. There is no shortage of excellent dining options including The Boot Inn, The Navigation and The Punchbowl to name a few, all with outside dining, and a mix of cosy yet modern bars and restaurants. National Trust at Packwood House and Baddesley Clinton offers a most idyllic setting. The centre also offers a village store, doctors, wine merchants, car garage and train station with lines running by both Chiltern Railway and West Midlands Railway Services. The thriving village hall is keen in promoting community activities.

Birmingham NEC, International Airport and Railway Station are within about 9.5 miles from Oaklands and offer excellent network connections throughout the UK, with direct links to Birmingham city centre and services of approx. 1hr 10 mins to London Euston.
