Summary - THE BOULTON APARTMENT 22 CROCKETTS LANE SMETHWICK B66 3DH
1 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious character flat with parking, ideal for first-time buyers.
Upper-floor one-bedroom flat with open-plan living
Set within a converted Victorian school, this upper-floor one-bedroom apartment offers generous rooms and striking high ceilings uncommon for flats in the area. The open-plan living space and large windows deliver light and character, while the 700 sq ft footprint gives flexibility for first-time buyers to lay out a comfortable home.
The Boultons sits just off Crocketts Lane with straightforward access to Bearwood High Street shops, multiple bus routes and nearby train stations for commutes into Birmingham. Off-street parking and a very low council tax band add practical value. There is no flood risk recorded for the location.
Buyers should note the building’s listed status — this brings historic charm but will complicate alterations and may restrict some improvements. Heating is by electric room heaters and the property uses electricity as its main fuel, which can raise running costs compared with mains gas. The area is marked by higher crime rates and significant local deprivation, factors to consider when assessing long-term suitability or rental demand.
This is a good opportunity for a first-time buyer seeking character and space who is comfortable with leasehold ownership and listed-building constraints. Lease terms are being compiled; prospective purchasers should budget for possible leasehold fees, building-specific consent costs and any necessary electrical or heating upgrades.
