This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a modern, low-maintenance home in Warstock, suited to first-time buyers or downsizers seeking straightforward access to the city. The open-plan kitchen/living room is bright, with patio doors leading to a small private balcony and enough space for dining and seating. The principal bedroom includes an ensuite; a second double bedroom and separate bathroom complete the accommodation. EPC C and built 2007–2011 indicate relatively recent construction and energy efficiency.
Practical running costs are competitive: council tax band B is low, broadband and mobile signals are strong, and the property benefits from mains gas central heating. The long lease (167 years remaining) provides security for buyers; one allocated off-street parking space and secure controlled-entry add convenience and peace of mind. Service charge is £1,131.26 per year (paid monthly), covering communal maintenance—factor this into affordability calculations.
Considerations: the property sits in an area classed as very deprived, which may affect resale dynamics and local services. Nearby schools are a mix of good and weak Ofsted ratings; check individual school catchments if schooling is a priority. The apartment is compact at about 700 sq ft, so while well presented it’s best suited to couples, small families, or investors targeting rental demand rather than buyers seeking larger family living.
Overall this is a tidy, move-in-ready apartment that balances modern fittings with sensible running costs and good transport links into Birmingham. For buyers who prioritise low maintenance, reliable connections and a long lease in a commuter-friendly neighbourhood, this property represents clear value; those seeking green space, high-performing nearby schools or larger living areas should weigh the local context carefully.
