Summary - ALLEN HOUSE FLAT 2 WEST ROAD BIRMINGHAM B43 5PS
1 bed 1 bath Maisonette
Chain-free one-bedroom with courtyard and parking, ideal for first purchase or rental.
One double bedroom with fitted storage
This ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette on West Road offers a straightforward, chain-free purchase for a first-time buyer or investor. The layout centres on an open-plan living, dining and kitchen space with a generous double bedroom and a modern shower room, all arranged within a practical 603 sq ft footprint. A private front courtyard and communal off-street parking add useful outdoor and parking convenience in a built-up Great Barr location.
The property benefits from a long lease (approx. 104 years), low ground rent and a below-average service charge, which supports buy-to-let affordability or an accessible entry onto the housing ladder. Local amenities, good bus links and several well-regarded primary and secondary schools are within easy reach, making everyday life convenient for occupiers or reliable for tenants.
Buyers should note the building dates (late 1960s/early 1970s) and the construction suggest system-built walls with no confirmed additional insulation. The flat is presented in usable, modernised condition internally but would benefit from cosmetic updating in places to maximise value. Prospective purchasers should factor in typical leasehold costs and consider a professional survey to confirm specifics of fabric, services and any required upgrades.
Overall this maisonette presents a low-entry, low-maintenance option for someone seeking a practical home or a lettable asset in a well-connected part of Birmingham. No upward chain and manageable running costs make it straightforward to move on quickly or add to an investment portfolio.
