Powell House has excellent transport links to Birmingham and beyond and the development is close to beautiful green spaces including Sutton Park.
The name Powell House was chosen as a nod to the rich history of the impressive 28-acre pool situated in Sutton Park. Originally constructed in 1730 as part of a dam, which was used to power an 18th century watermill nearby, the mill played a vital role in a host of industrial processes, including rolling steel for pens. The reservoir's name was given by William Powell, who leased the mill more than 270 years ago. Today, Powell's Pool is an ideal spot for fishing and wildlife watching, with locals also using the water for sailing and canoeing.
