Set on the first floor, this modern one-bedroom apartment offers a compact, well-laid-out home with an unusually large private sun terrace — a rare find for city-centre living. The open-plan living room and fitted kitchen make efficient use of the 509 sq ft footprint, while double glazing and electric heating keep the apartment low-maintenance. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal suit remote working and streaming.
The property sits in the heart of Moseley village with immediate access to independent shops, cafés, restaurants and regular bus links into Birmingham city centre. The apartment was owner-occupied and well looked after, making it ready for move-in; a clear option for a first-time buyer seeking a social, well-connected location.
Practical points to note: the lease has 143 years remaining, which is healthy for a leasehold purchase, but the annual service charge (£2,493.82) and ground rent (£172.95) add to ongoing costs — ground rent is reviewed every ten years. Heating is electric rather than gas, which can mean higher running costs depending on usage and tariffs. The surrounding area is classified as having high deprivation in parts; check local data and view at different times of day to judge fit.
Overall, this apartment is best suited to a buyer prioritising location, low-internal-maintenance living, and outdoor private space rather than a large internal floor area. It could also appeal to investors seeking strong local rental demand in a lively neighbourhood, though account for service charges when calculating returns.
