Beau Regards is located in Wombourne, a large village and civil parish in Staffordshire.
Wombourne is located 4 miles south west of Wolverhampton and just outside the county and conurbation of the West Midlands. Although the parish had a population approaching 2000 by the mid-19th century, the village itself remained quite small- essentially confined to the area around the present village green.
The area around the green, the original village of Wombourne, evolved as the commercial and cultural centre. The green was surrounded by small independent shops, of which Beau Regards is one, and which remain a distinctive feature of the villages commercial life.
The village population of Wombourne works partly locally and partly in the larger centres of Wolverhampton, the Black Country, Birmingham and Telford. Wombourne is a particularly salubrious area and housing here is priced above the average and highly sought after.
National Express West Midlands bus routes 255, 256, 255s and 256s all serve Wombourne. The area is near to the main A449 road.
Beau Regards is ideally situated opposite the village green alongside a complimentary retail business.
The business really is beautifully presented and maintained with clear, visible signage and distinctive and upmarket looking dark red and gold livery. There is a shoppers car park nearby along with free on street parking in the surrounding streets.
The business benefits from high levels of footfall and passing trade.
