Elegant period flat with parking and communal gardens in Kings Norton.
Grade II listed apartment in historic Monyhull Hall
High ceilings and bright living room with communal garden views
Two double bedrooms; master with Jack & Jill bathroom
Allocated parking plus additional guest parking on site
81 years remaining on lease — requires urgent extension
Mortgage lenders may refuse lending due to short lease
Service charge £2,496.25 and ground rent £200 per year
Above-average local crime rate; listed status restricts alterations
Set within the grand surroundings of Monyhull Hall, this two-bedroom first-floor apartment blends period character with usable modern comforts. High ceilings, a bright living room overlooking communal grounds, and a modern kitchen offer an attractive home for a first-time buyer seeking charm and convenience. Allocated and guest parking plus peaceful communal grounds give a sense of space unusual for the area.
Important practical points are clear: the flat occupies a Grade II listed building and the lease has only 81 years remaining. That short lease can make mortgage approval difficult and will require prompt lease extension; the listed status also adds complexity to alterations and resale. Service charge and ground rent are notable running costs.
Internally the apartment is well-presented, with double glazing and gas central heating providing comfort and efficiency. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working. Local schools include several rated Good and two outstanding selective secondaries, which may appeal to buyers planning for the future.
This property suits a purchaser who values period character and communal grounds but understands the work and cost involved in securing the lease and managing listed-building constraints. Viewings are recommended for buyers prepared to investigate financing options and long-term ownership costs.
