A compact, modern one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Redditch, offering immediate access to the Kingfisher Centre, bus and rail links. The open-plan kitchen/living room and integrated appliances make the flat move-in ready for a single buyer or couple seeking low-maintenance city living.
At 409 sq ft the layout is efficient but small; the bedroom fits a double and the shower room is contemporary. The property sits above mixed-use commercial premises, so there are no gardens or notable views, but everything the town centre offers is on the doorstep.
Important practical points: the tenure is leasehold, heating is by electric room heaters and the main fuel is electricity, which can be more expensive than gas. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow and the recorded local crime level is very high — both factors to weigh for homeworking or those prioritising quiet and security.
This apartment suits a first-time buyer seeking central convenience or an investor wanting a centrally located rental close to shops and transport. Its small size, simple heating and leasehold status keep costs and responsibilities limited, but prospective buyers should inspect, check lease terms and consider energy and connectivity implications before committing.
