This two-bedroom first-floor apartment in B16 offers an affordable entry to Edgbaston living, set in a modern brick development completed in the mid-2000s. The open-plan fitted kitchen and living area with a Juliet balcony brings natural light into a compact, practical footprint of about 614 sq ft. Allocated off-street parking is a useful bonus for city residents.
The property benefits from double glazing and an EPC rating of C, making it a reasonably efficient modern apartment. Local amenities, bus routes and nearby train stations provide straightforward commuting options, while several well-regarded primary and secondary schools sit within easy reach.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat; prospective purchasers should confirm the lease length, ground rent and any service charges. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which may mean higher running costs. The building sits in a generally deprived area with average crime statistics, so check local neighbourhood details if community profile matters.
Overall this apartment suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking a low-entry price in a well-connected location. Expect a compact living space with modern fittings and straightforward scope for cosmetic updates rather than major structural work.
