This two-bedroom apartment occupies a converted-warehouse building in central Digbeth, offering generous open-plan living and high ceilings that create a loft-like feel. The main living area includes a Juliette balcony and large windows that flood the space with natural light. An allocated off-street parking space is included — a rare and valuable perk for city-centre flats.
Practical details suit first-time buyers: 732 sq ft, a single contemporary family bathroom, double glazing, and a 105-year lease remaining with a modest ground rent of £150. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support home working or streaming.
Buyers should note this is a leasehold flat with electric room heaters rather than central heating, which can affect running costs and heating distribution. The property sits in an area classified as very deprived with high local crime rates — important for buyers to consider for lifestyle and insurance. Overall, the apartment offers characterful city living with good transport and amenity access, balanced by inner-city drawbacks and some running-cost considerations.
