This one-bedroom, seventh-floor flat in Strode House offers compact, low-maintenance city living close to central Tamworth. The living room opens onto a private balcony with views towards Tamworth Castle, and the separate kitchen includes a hob and oven. An allocated off-street parking space and a small lockable basement storage room add practical convenience.
The apartment has practical running costs: EPC C, Council Tax Band A and an 85-year remaining lease (125 years from 20/05/1985). Service charge and ground rent are modest for the block. Heating is by electric storage heaters and double glazing was fitted after 2002, but the building is system-built with assumed wall construction and limited insulation — buyers should factor energy efficiency and potential upgrade costs into their plans.
This property suits a cash buyer, a buy-to-let investor or a first-time purchaser prepared to accept a smaller footprint and mid-floor living. Cosmetic updating is likely needed in parts (old carpets and fixtures) but the flat’s location, balcony outlook and allocated parking offer straightforward appeal for those seeking a central, affordable apartment. Be aware the immediate area records high crime and wider area deprivation; viewings will show whether the location matches your priorities.
