Blakesley Hall is a picture-perfect timber-framed Tudor house which is situated just a few miles from the centre of Birmingham.

The beautiful Elizabethan house is one of Birmingham’s oldest and most historically significant buildings.

Blakesley Hall is nestled in a quiet Birmingham street and is a secluded oasis of calm. The orchard and grounds are a peaceful haven for butterflies, birds and other wildlife.
