Our top pick this month is the canalside village of Alrewas, an area favourite for all walks of life. Home to an outstanding assortment of amenities, an exellent school catchment and within reach of surrounding countryside and leisure pursuits, Alrewas is a strong contender in the property market place and maintains a healthy return on sales time and time again.

The traditional centre of the village plays host to a wide array of amenities including a Co-Op, boutique stores, various cafes and takeaway outlets, beauticians, a historic Church and a post office, as well as Coates’ award winning butchers. In addition, there is a doctors surgery, dispensary pharmacy and a private dentists.

Dotted about the village are a number of country pubs, some of which also serve food including The Crown, the William IV and the George & Dragon, with the Royal British Legion offering a members only lounge.


'Outstanding' Schooling

A prime location for families, the charming All Saints Church of England Primary school lies close to the village centre and offers a personal learning experience in small class sizes. As with most village schools, smaller class sizes mean each child gets involves in most activities, giving them a great start to High School education at the Ofsted ‘Outstanding’ rated John Taylor Specialist School in Barton under Needwood. A school bus runs from Alrewas to Barton daily for the students to catch.
