Set within Fountain Lofts on Alcester Street, this two-bedroom apartment offers turnkey, low-maintenance city living ideal for investors or part-time residents. The 2022 build includes a 999-year lease, a 10-year warranty and long lease terms, plus included flooring and integrated appliances so the property can be let or occupied immediately.
The apartment faces an internal courtyard and benefits from double glazing, lifts to all floors and modern finishes throughout. Open-plan living maximises the 658 sq ft footprint, with contemporary kitchen fittings, recessed LED lighting and Karndean-style flooring giving a clean, rental-friendly presentation.
Buyers should note material local and property considerations. The development sits in a very deprived, high-crime neighbourhood and broadband speeds are reported as very slow. Heating is electric panel/room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can affect running costs. There is no private garden or notable scenic outlook — primarily urban courtyard and street views.
Overall this is a sensible, low-upkeep city-center apartment with clear appeal for landlords seeking immediate rental income or buyers wanting a move-in ready pied-à-terre. The long lease, low service charges and build warranty support long-term ownership, but suitability depends on tolerance for inner-city location and non-gas heating.
