Notes to Editors:
Four Oaks Estate in Sutton Coldfield was once part of a large forest, which encompassed the adjoining Sutton Park - one of the largest urban parks in Europe. The original estate was laid out in the 1890s when the Marquis of Clanrikard bought the Four Oaks Park. The now sought after area was then developed as a private housing estate, which is now renowned for its tree lined avenues and as one of the most prestigious residential locations in the region.
