This well-presented one-bedroom apartment occupies a first-floor position in a popular Harborne development, set within attractive communal grounds. The living room opens onto a private balcony with pleasant views over landscaped gardens, and the apartment includes an integral garage and residents’ parking — useful practical benefits in this busy suburb.
The accommodation suits a first-time buyer or investor. The fitted kitchen, double bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a fully tiled bathroom give immediate move-in comfort. The building dates from the late 1970s and benefits from double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of C.
Practical costs and tenure are important: the property is leasehold with approximately 100 years remaining, an annual service charge of about £2,280 and ground rent of £190. The entrance involves steps to the first floor, so it is not fully accessible for all buyers. The apartment is offered chain free and has been marketed as suitable for investors (tenant in situ) or owner-occupiers.
Location is a key strength: Harborne High Street, strong local schools and good transport links — including easy access to the QE Medical Complex and University of Birmingham — make this a convenient city-edge home or a straightforward rental asset. Prospective buyers should verify lease details and costs with their solicitor before moving forward.
