127-year lease, garage and balcony — compact central Sutton Coldfield home.
Second-floor one-bedroom apartment with balcony and communal greenery view
A bright one-bedroom second-floor apartment offering 582 sq ft of practical living in central Sutton Coldfield. The living room opens onto a balcony overlooking communal greenery; a compact modern U-shaped kitchen and a double bedroom with fitted wardrobes complete the main accommodation. The property benefits from a private garage, communal parking and double glazing installed after 2002.
The lease is strong—approximately 127 years remaining—and the apartment is connected to fast broadband and excellent mobile coverage, making it suitable for home-working professionals or first-time buyers seeking a well‑positioned starter home. Council Tax Band B is relatively low, and the building sits close to a wide range of shops, schools and transport links.
Buyers should note material costs: the current service charge is circa £3,400 per annum and the property uses electric storage heaters (no gas). The area records very high crime levels and sits within a more deprived local area classification, which may affect resale or rental appeal. The building dates from the mid-20th century; while double glazing has been upgraded, prospective purchasers should arrange a survey to check communal and structural elements.
Overall this is a practical, well-located one-bedroom apartment with long lease and useful parking/garage. It will suit a first-time buyer or investor seeking a compact home in Sutton Coldfield, provided the service charge and local area factors are acceptable.
