This two-bedroom first-floor maisonette offers a compact, practical layout with a private rear garden and garage in a separate block. The accommodation includes a spacious living room, well-fitted kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a recently re-appointed shower room. It sits back from the road with a foregarden and benefits from fast broadband and good mobile signal.
Important buyer cautions are clear: the property has only around 51–52 years remaining on the lease and will be sold by auction. Many mortgage lenders are likely to refuse lending on this short lease, so the home is most suitable for cash buyers or investors comfortable managing lease extension or enfranchisement. The auction route includes a non-refundable reservation fee and a 56-day completion period.
The maisonette shows some dated internal features and electric storage heating, so there is scope for updating and modernisation to add immediate value. Annual running costs are modest — low service charge and ground rent, and a cheap council tax band — which will appeal to budget-conscious buyers.
Local amenities include good primary and secondary schools, regular bus services and easy access to Birmingham and motorway links. The property is offered with no upward chain, making a quick exchange of contracts possible for a buyer prepared for the auction process.
