A village life,
lived in the heart of

Moseley

Leafy streets, an independent village high street and a real sense
of community, all a short stroll from The Shires. Find out what
makes Moseley one of the most loved corners of Birmingham.

Home to a village that never lost its character

Moseley has spent two hundred years quietly becoming one of Birmingham’s most sought-after suburbs, and it still feels like its own place. Handsome Victorian and Edwardian villas line tree-filled roads, the village centre is full of shops that have no branches anywhere else, and neighbours still know each other’s names. It is this mix of city convenience and village warmth that makes Moseley the perfect setting for The Shires.

What makes Moseley home

Village Life

  • An independent high street of cafes, delis, bookshops and boutiques, most of them family run
  • The Moseley Farmers’ Market fills the village every month with local growers and makers
  • Sunday roasts and Sunday papers at one of the village’s many pubs, several with beer gardens
  • Everything within a ten minute walk, so a car is a choice rather than a necessity
  • A genuine sense of community, the kind that comes from decades of neighbours sticking around
  • Plenty of activities within The Shires village too, so there’s always something on without needing to go far

Green & Open Spaces

  • Moseley Park and Pool, a private Victorian pleasure garden with a lake, right in the village
  • Cannon Hill Park a short walk away, with its lake, nature centre and miles of paths
  • Highbury Park and the Chinn family’s former estate, ideal for a slow morning walk
  • Well kept allotments and community gardens dotted throughout the area
  • Tree lined avenues that turn gold every autumn, a favourite for local photographers

Food & Culture

  • A bustling farmers’ market fills the village square once a month, piled high with local produce
  • Traditional pubs serving proper Sunday roasts, several with gardens for warmer afternoons
  • Moseley Folk and Arts Festival, a much loved weekend of live music held every September
  • Old fashioned bakeries and tea rooms, the sort of places that still know their regulars by name
  • Regular events on the village green, from carol singing to summer fetes

Connected but Calm

  • Moseley now has its own train station, newly opened, with direct services into Birmingham city centre
  • Birmingham city centre less than three miles away, just a few minutes by train or a short bus ride
  • Frequent bus routes into New Street and the Bullring, running well into the evening
  • Easy access to the A435 and A38, with the M42 and M6 both within easy reach
  • Quiet, low traffic residential streets just moments from the main village hub

“Moseley has that rare thing, a village feel with a city on its doorstep. It is why so many of our residents tell us they never want to leave.”
