This top-floor, two-bedroom apartment offers a compact, low-maintenance home or rental close to transport links. The open-plan living/kitchen with French doors and Juliet balcony brings natural light into a neutral, modern interior. Allocated gated off-street parking and secure intercom entry add practical convenience in a built-up location.
Attractive to investors or cash buyers, the flat is sold with no onward chain and presents straightforward tenancy potential given local demand and proximity to Old Hill and Cradley Heath stations (about a 3-minute drive). Local amenities and numerous primary and secondary schools are nearby.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is leasehold with 80 years remaining. Many mortgage lenders decline mortgages on shorter leases, so cash purchase or specialist lending may be required. The area shows higher crime statistics and significant deprivation, which can affect resale and tenancy profiles.
Ongoing costs include a service charge of around £1,212 per year and a low council tax band. The apartment’s small overall size and top-floor layout suit singles, couples, or investors seeking a manageable, city-edge asset rather than a large family home.
