Set within a sought-after Erdington location, this two-bedroom flat offers practical living for families or first-time buyers looking for secure, low-maintenance accommodation. The property benefits from a long lease (997 years), allocated parking plus a private garage, and a south-facing mature communal garden that catches the afternoon sun. Transport links are excellent — a bus stop is a two-minute walk away — making commutes and school runs straightforward.
Internally the flat is compact (approx. 55.4 sq.m / 596 sq.ft) with good natural light and ample built-in storage. Windows are UPVC double-glazed (installed c.15 years ago) and the block shows its mid‑century origins; many buyers will see scope to refresh finishes and improve the energy rating (current EPC D, potential C).
There are a few practical issues to note. Heating is by electric room heaters rather than gas central heating, which can mean higher running costs. The annual maintenance charge is about £1,632 and the building record notes the presence of asbestos (typical in buildings of this era) — both factors to consider for budgeting and any refurbishment. Council Tax band is B, and there is no history of subsidence.
Overall, this flat suits buyers seeking a well‑located, long‑lease home to personalise. It offers a strong combination of outdoor space, parking and transport convenience, but buyers should factor in heating costs, service charges and planned upgrades when assessing value.
