A well-presented, ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offering low-maintenance living in a convenient Smethwick location. The open-plan kitchen/living area and modern fittings make this 695 sq ft home move-in ready, with a large master bedroom and ensuite providing useful privacy. Allocated off-street parking is included.
This property suits first-time buyers looking for an affordable starter home or investors seeking a straightforward let close to transport links and local amenities. The building is modern (built 2003–2006) and the flat benefits from double glazing and a contemporary kitchen with integrated appliances.
Buyers should be aware of tangible drawbacks: the property uses electric room heaters (higher running costs than gas central heating), and the area records high local crime and significant deprivation — factors that can influence resale or rental demand. It is leasehold with 105 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £1,800 and a small ground rent of £70.
There is no private garden visible and outdoor space is limited; as a ground-floor flat this offers easy access but less privacy than upper floors. Broadband speeds are average. Overall, this is a practical, well-located starter or rental opportunity for those prioritising convenience and low internal maintenance over outdoor space and lower-energy heating.
