This newly renovated two-bedroom first-floor apartment offers a straightforward entry into Sutton Coldfield living. The L-shaped lounge/diner, separate fitted kitchen and two double bedrooms create comfortable, flexible accommodation for a couple or first-time buyers. The building sits in well-maintained grounds with communal parking and a separate-block garage included.
A lease extension will be completed on completion, but the current term is 40 years — a material point that may affect mortgage availability and valuation. Annual service charges are approximately £1,968 and heating is via electric storage heaters; buyers should factor these running costs into their budgets. There is no upward chain, which can speed transaction times for a motivated purchaser.
The location provides fast broadband, regular bus and rail links into Birmingham and nearby employment hubs, and a selection of well-rated primary and secondary schools within easy reach. The apartment is compact at about 700 sq ft, so it suits buyers seeking a manageable home with low external maintenance rather than large garden space.
Practical positives include ample built-in storage, double glazing, communal landscaped gardens and a private garage. Drawbacks are the short lease length (40 years before the agreed extension completes), reliance on electric heating and an above-average service charge; lenders may require specialist mortgages. Viewing is by appointment only.
