This two-bedroom Aurora apartment blends original Gothic character with contemporary fittings, offering a distinctive home in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter. Light-filled, shaped windows and an iconic turret give the interior strong visual appeal; the layout includes two double bedrooms each with en-suite bathrooms and a tasteful shaker-style kitchen. At around 827 sq ft the apartment is an average-sized, comfortable city home suited to professionals or sharers.
The building is a sympathetic conversion of Grade II listed Victorian stock, completed in 2021, so you get modern fixtures (Gessi brassware, renovated finishes) while retaining period features. The 999-year lease provides long-term security, and service charges are modest for a boutique development at about £1,404.20 per year. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent — useful for remote working or letting.
Buyers should note material constraints: listed status means alterations will be restricted and may require Listed Building Consent, which can complicate refurbishment plans. Heating is electric via room heaters which can be less efficient and more costly than gas central heating. The local area is a cosmopolitan mix of students and professionals with high local crime levels reported; this could affect some buyers’ preferences or insurance costs.
Overall, this apartment suits buyers seeking a characterful, low-maintenance city base or investors targeting strong rental demand in the Jewellery Quarter. It offers immediate move-in quality and unique period features, but anyone planning substantial internal changes or seeking low running costs should factor in the listed-status restrictions and electric heating arrangement.
