It consists of a 55-acre Edwardian garden village with around 500 individually-designed houses laid out as neat semi-detached pairs or short terraces on leafy avenues that radiate from a central circle.

The estate also contains a bowling green, rifle range, billiard hall, skittles alley, community hall, two tennis clubs and the Moor Pool fishpond.

The  village was built by a self-help society, the Harborne Tenants, on land leased from their sponsor John Nettlefold, a Quaker businessman with a particular interest in urban planning.

In May 2010, an infestation of Japanese Knotweed was splitting concrete and undermining the foundations of several buildings on the estate, particularly in the Square, Circle, Orchard and Bowling Green (News Archive 13/05/10).
