Huge private terrace with direct city views
This one-bedroom apartment in the Jewellery Quarter offers exceptional outdoor space for its size: a huge private terrace with direct city views that feels like an extra room in summer. The open-plan living/kitchen and a generous double bedroom make it a comfortable, low-maintenance home or a straightforward rental unit.
The building is a secure, popular development completed in 2003 and sits 0.7 miles from both New Street and Snow Hill stations, with St Paul’s Square and local amenities within easy walking distance. The property is offered in good condition throughout and currently produces a marketed gross yield of about 7.2%, providing clear appeal to buy-to-let investors as well as first-time buyers wanting a turn-key purchase.
There are some practical factors to note: the property is leasehold (about 101 years remaining) with a small ground rent, electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, and double glazing fitted pre-2002. The flat is relatively small internally (typical one-bed footprint), and the neighbourhood records above-average crime levels compared with national figures. The sale may suit someone prioritising location, outdoor space and low upkeep over larger internal living areas.
Overall, this apartment is best for a buyer seeking an easy-entry central home or an investor after an income-producing city-centre flat with exceptional outdoor amenity. Viewing will show how the terrace and city outlook extend the living experience beyond the apartment’s internal footprint.
