This modern eighth-floor one-bedroom apartment in the Timberyard development offers compact city-centre living with useful resident facilities. Built in 2021, the flat includes an open-plan living area, full-height windows with city views and a private balcony, plus SMEG kitchen appliances and a luxury bathroom finish. The 462 sq ft layout suits a single occupant or couple looking for a low-maintenance urban base.
The development provides lifestyle extras that add convenience and rental appeal: 24/7 concierge, residents' gym, lounge and a cinema room. The property is leasehold with 202 years remaining and an EPC C rating, making it straightforward for buyers and letting professionals. Council Tax band C is affordable for the location.
Buyers should be aware of material considerations: this address sits in a very high crime and very deprived area of the city, and the neighbourhood is largely a cosmopolitan student/multicultural zone. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs. The apartment’s compact size and inner-city setting suit those seeking proximity to New Street/Bullring rather than a large family home.
Overall, the flat is best for a first-time buyer seeking a move-in-ready, low-maintenance city pied-à-terre or an investor targeting central Birmingham rentals. The combination of modern finishes, communal amenities and long lease length underpin its appeal, while the location’s crime profile and urban environment are important trade-offs to factor into viewing and budgeting decisions.
