Summary - ST HELIER HOUSE FLAT 3 MELVILLE ROAD BIRMINGHAM B16 9NG
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Quiet first-floor home with balcony, two double bedrooms and solid rental potential close to the city.
First-floor, two double bedrooms and one bathroom (approx. 735 sq ft)
This first-floor, two-bedroom apartment sits on a peaceful, tree-lined road yet offers quick access to Birmingham city centre, making it appealing for buy-to-let investors or professionals seeking low-maintenance town living. The living/dining room opens onto a private balcony that brings daylight and outdoor space into the home.
Internally the layout is practical: a modern kitchen, two double bedrooms and a single bathroom across approximately 735 sq ft. The building dates from the late 1960s/early 1970s and benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via boiler and radiators; the property is chain-free with around 95 years remaining on the lease.
Considerations are straightforward and important for buyers: the immediate area records higher crime levels and broader local deprivation indicators, which can affect resale and lettability in some markets. The apartment is leasehold (ground rent £10 pa; service charge around £1,000 pa — please verify exact figures) and the block’s mid-20th century construction may present future maintenance or modernization costs.
For investors this is a practical, city-proximate holding with rental appeal to young professionals and students given local demographics and excellent transport/broadband. For owner-occupiers it offers a ready-to-live-in, low-upkeep home with scope to modernise the kitchen and finishes to add value.
