This two-bedroom upper-floor flat offers a practical, affordable entry into B36 with no onward chain and a private rear garden. The living room and fitted kitchen provide sensible everyday space, while two double bedrooms suit first-time buyers or small households. A separate WC plus a bathroom with shower-over-bath add functional convenience.
The property sits in a mid-20th-century townhouse with garage parking and good transport links to the M6 and M42 plus local bus routes. The flat benefits from double glazing and gas central heating via a boiler and radiators, and the lease has 89 years remaining—important to note for mortgage or conveyancing checks.
Buyers should be aware of material downsides: the building is a system-built type likely without cavity insulation, and external photos suggest the exterior may be dated and could need updating. The local area records above-average crime and high levels of deprivation, factors to weigh against the low asking price and low council tax band. Overall this is a budget-friendly property with scope to modernise and add value for owner-occupiers or investors prepared to carry out improvements.
