In the posh village, half an hour from Birmingham home to the most expensive property in the region

Just a short drive from the busy roads and built-up communities of industrial Black Country is one of the most elegant villages in our region. It’s tucked away right next to all that hustle and bustle and home to the most expensive property sold in our region last year.

The mansion sold for £3 million, giving an idea of ​​how much money one must have to live in the plush surroundings of this exclusive slice of the Midlands. The village in question is Clent, near Stourbridge.

Nestled in an idyllic setting in the shadow of the Clent Hills, the locals live in peace, serenity and security, seemingly without much care in the world.

And while it’s exclusive, it’s also not in the middle of nowhere, just a short drive from places like Stourbridge, Halesowen and Birmingham, meaning residents aren’t too far from the busier civilization of the big towns and cities. The beautiful surroundings of the Clent Hills are just down the road, providing the perfect place to take the family or walk the dog and get away from it all.

In June last year, a huge property sold here for £3 million. It was the biggest property sale in the West Midlands in 2023, according to the latest figures from the Land Registry. It’s not hard to see why anyone would want to live here if they could afford it.

Large estates line the streets of this small village, which is centered around the Bell and Cross pub, and it’s not unusual on a walk through the streets to see more than one expensive car on the road. Peaceful and quiet, the locals are unlikely to suffer many hassles such as crime or anti-social behavior experienced in cities.

The pace of life is much slower here. It would make an ideal commuter village for Birmingham for the office bigwigs on top salaries and must be one of the most stylish parts of the region.

Of the other properties in the top five most expensive list, one was in Edgbaston and the other three in Sutton Coldfield.
