Summary - 40 BLOOMSBURY GROVE BIRMINGHAM B14 7NU
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Low-maintenance retirement flat with allocated parking and long lease.
Ground-floor two-bedroom apartment, approximately 506 sq ft
This ground-floor two-bedroom apartment offers an easy-to-manage home for someone downsizing or seeking retirement living. The open-plan living/kitchen and large windows create a bright, practical space; the recently refitted bathroom and double glazing add immediate comfort. Allocated off-street parking and a long lease (165 years) are practical ownership benefits, while the property is offered chain free for a straightforward purchase.
The building is a purpose-built, 1980s red-brick block set in a quiet cul-de-sac with modest communal gardens. The flat is compact at about 506 sq ft, so it suits buyers who prioritise convenience over large living areas. There is scope for light cosmetic updating — photos show stripped or damaged floorcovering — but major structural work is not indicated.
Buyers should note the annual service charge of about £2,149 and that heating is by electric storage heaters, which can be more costly than gas alternatives. The neighbourhood is classed as very deprived with higher local crime rates; however, broadband and mobile signal are strong and forthcoming transport improvements (nearby Pineapple Road rail link) will improve links to Birmingham city centre.
Overall this apartment will appeal to retired buyers and downsizers wanting a low-maintenance, ground-floor home with parking and a long lease, provided they accept modest size, communal costs and the local area profile.
