This substantial 1920s character apartment occupies a top-floor position in a well-proportioned Art Deco–style block on Hagley Road, offering an exceptionally large 1,335 sq ft layout with generous reception space, a modern kitchen and refitted shower room. The apartment keeps period features and benefits from lift access, an allocated parking space and a garage en bloc — useful assets for central-city living.
Important practical notes: the property is leasehold with 71 years remaining on completion. That remaining term is materially short and is likely to restrict mortgage availability; many lenders may refuse to lend. The service charge is approximately £2,500 per year and broadband speeds in the area are reported as very slow. The wider area shows higher crime levels and some local deprivation, facts buyers should weigh against the central location.
The flat is offered chain-free and presents strong potential for a cash buyer or investor who can manage the lease situation. There is scope to enhance value through sympathetic refurbishment while retaining character details; however solid brick walls likely have no cavity insulation and further works may be needed to improve thermal performance. Note: listing text refers to three bedrooms but the supplied data records two bedrooms — prospective buyers should verify the exact bedroom count and floorplan before committing.
