Set within the gated Octahedron development in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, this well-presented one-bedroom apartment suits a first-time buyer or city-centre investor seeking low-maintenance living. The open-plan living and kitchen area is compact but efficiently arranged and benefits from large windows and contemporary finishes. Allocated basement parking is a practical plus in this central location.
The apartment sits on the second (advertised inconsistently as first) floor and has a private entrance, hallway storage cupboard, double bedroom and a bathroom with shower-over-bath. The property is leasehold with 109 years remaining and an EPC rating of C. Communal access is secure with lift and stair access to the floor.
Costs and constraints to note: the annual service charge is approximately £2,302 and ground rent is £225 per year. Heating is electric via room heaters; there is no private external space. The overall internal area is small (about 433 sq ft) — ideal for single occupants or renters but limited for buyers needing larger living space.
Location is a clear strength: the Jewellery Quarter places you close to transport links, Brindley Place, city-centre amenities and local universities. The neighbourhood is lively and multicultural, with abundant leisure and shopping options; however, recorded local crime rates are very high, which may be a concern for some purchasers.
