A well-presented one-bedroom ground-floor flat in King’s Norton, offering straightforward accommodation and long-term security. The living room is spacious enough for lounge and dining furniture while the double bedroom and several built-in storage cupboards keep the footprint practical. Outside, residents benefit from off-street parking and a communal rear garden that backs onto the canal.
Practicalities suit first-time buyers and investors: a 151-year lease remains, and the service charge is modest at £459.92 every six months (£919.84 per year). Council tax is described as very cheap and there is no flood risk for the property. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are good, and the flat is within easy reach of Cotteridge High Street plus major routes (M42/M5).
Be clear about running costs and local context. Heating is by electric room heaters — likely more expensive than gas central heating — and glazing install date is unknown. The wider area records above-average crime and high deprivation, and a few nearby primary schools have poor Ofsted ratings; however there are strong secondary options close by. The flat will suit buyers seeking a low-entry purchase with refurbishment potential or a simple rental asset.
This property is best for a buyer who values a long lease, low immediate maintenance, outdoor space and parking, and who is comfortable with electric heating and the local area profile. Viewing will confirm room sizes and condition; purchasers should check appliances, heating and any communal maintenance details before committing.
