Summary - Apartment 5 Highcroft Hall, Highcroft Road B23 6GS
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Duplex two-bedroom home with parking and garden access ideal for first buyers.
Grade II listed Victorian conversion with period features
Set within the Grade II listed Highcroft Hall, this two-bedroom duplex apartment blends Victorian character with practical living. Tall sash windows and high ceilings create a bright, airy lounge while a mezzanine level provides flexible space for a second bedroom or home office. The apartment includes an allocated parking space and access to gated, landscaped communal gardens.
The property's long lease (979 years) and chain-free sale simplify ownership, but listed status will restrict external and internal alterations and may complicate refurbishment plans. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the building uses electricity as its main fuel; prospective buyers should note running costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. Broadband speeds are very slow in the area.
Service charge and ground rent are modestly priced for a converted period building: approximately £2,653.92 per year service charge and £150 ground rent per year. The location is commuter-friendly with good road and bus links to Birmingham city centre and Sutton Coldfield, and local schools rated Good. However, the immediate area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation, important factors for buyers to weigh.
This apartment suits first-time buyers or professionals who value character and convenience and are prepared to live with listed-building constraints. It offers immediate move-in potential with scope for internal cosmetic updating where permitted, rather than major structural work.
