This newly renovated one-bedroom first-floor studio apartment on Merlin Walk offers a compact, move-in-ready home with allocated off-street parking and a long lease (106 years). The open-plan lounge/kitchen and separate bedroom make efficient use of the 301 sq ft layout, suitable for a first-time buyer or downsizer seeking low-maintenance living close to transport links and local amenities.
Service charge is relatively high (£3,028 pa) but is reported to include communal bills; ground rent is low (£70 pa). Heating is provided via a community mains gas scheme and double glazing has been fitted, so running costs may be reasonable; council tax band is very cheap.
Buyers should note the setting: the building sits in a very deprived, higher-crime area of Castle Vale within a major conurbation. While the apartment is modernised throughout, the flat’s small overall size and studio-style layout might not suit those needing extensive storage or separate living spaces. Prospective purchasers are advised to verify service arrangements and commission any surveys they require.
