Compact, ground-floor one-bedroom maisonette offering straightforward, low-entry ownership close to Birmingham city links. Set behind a small front garden, the layout places lounge, re-fitted kitchen, bedroom and bathroom on one level — practical for a first home or rental let. The lease is long at approximately 149 years, there is no service charge and the property is offered chain-free, so completion can be quick.
The flat is well presented with a contemporary kitchen, double glazing and efficient use of space across its 319 sq ft. EPC D and electric room heaters provide basic thermal performance; buyers should expect running costs typical of electric heating. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting home working or tenant demand.
Important local facts: the immediate area has high crime levels and is classified as very deprived, which may affect resale values and suitability for some buyers. The property is in a major conurbation with good transport links and local amenities nearby, but buyers seeking quieter or higher‑value locations should note the neighbourhood context.
This is a straightforward purchase for a first-time buyer wanting a low-maintenance entry into homeownership, or an investor seeking a lettable, low-management asset. The flat’s small size and electric heating are practical considerations; budget-minded buyers should allow for energy costs and future maintenance or upgrades as desired.
