This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an easy-to-manage home in a quiet cul-de-sac of Kings Heath. Set in a small red-brick purpose-built block, the flat benefits from a bright open-plan living/kitchen, a recently refitted bathroom and allocated off-street parking — practical features that suit downsizers and first-time buyers alike. The property is sold chain-free and has a long lease (around 165 years), removing common purchase hurdles.
The interior is neat but modest in size (approximately 506 sq ft) and will suit someone seeking low-maintenance living rather than large family space. There is scope for cosmetic updating: photos show stripped or damaged flooring and some areas would benefit from redecoration to personalise the flat. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the apartment has double glazing.
Buyers should note material considerations: the local area records high crime levels and is classed as very deprived, which may affect resale and rental demand. There is no private garden and communal grounds are small. For commuters, an upcoming nearby rail link (Pineapple Road) is expected to improve access to Birmingham city centre and enhance long-term convenience.
Overall, this apartment is aimed at buyers wanting a low-hassle, ground-floor home close to Kings Heath’s amenities, or investors seeking a compact rental unit with refurbishment potential. Be aware of the neighbourhood challenges and the need for some internal updating when considering this purchase.
