This recently renovated one-bedroom apartment on Granville Street offers a compact, contemporary city base with strong transport links and clear ownership advantages. Set on an upper floor, the apartment benefits from a private balcony, secure entry and off-street parking — practical extras for urban living.
Inside, a newly fitted kitchen and fresh flooring create a modern, move-in-ready space. The open-plan living area is light-filled thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows, while built-in wardrobes and sensible storage keep the layout efficient for everyday life. At 459 sq ft, the home suits a single buyer or couple seeking a central starter home.
Ownership is straightforward: share of freehold with an exceptionally long lease (circa 974 years). Service charges average £1,100 per year and council tax sits in Band D — important ongoing costs to factor into your budget. The property sits in a cosmopolitan, student-rich neighbourhood, which supports rental demand but also correlates with a very high local crime rate; buyers should consider security measures and insurance accordingly.
Location is a major benefit: walking distance to The Mailbox, Brindleyplace, New Street station and the canal network means excellent connectivity, local amenities and leisure on your doorstep. For first-time buyers looking for a compact, turnkey city apartment with investment potential, this is a practical, well-located option. However, factor in the service charges, council tax and local crime profile when deciding if it meets your needs.
