Local area shows very high crime and higher deprivation levels
Set on the ground floor of a mid‑20th century block, this two‑bedroom flat offers practical, low‑maintenance living close to Sutton Coldfield town centre. The layout is straightforward: a spacious lounge/diner with French doors to a private patio, a contemporary fitted kitchen, and two generously sized bedrooms. A garage and communal gardens front and rear add useful outdoor and storage space.
The flat benefits from a long lease (128 years) and double glazing, making it a sensible purchase for first‑time buyers or those downsizing. At about 659 sq ft, the accommodation is well presented throughout and ready to move into, with a stylish white bathroom suite and modern fitted kitchen.
Buyers should note the property is heated by electric storage heaters and uses electricity as the main fuel, which can be more costly than gas. The building’s solid brick walls are assumed uninsulated, and the glazing predates 2002 — both factors worth checking if you prioritise energy efficiency. Service charges average £1,750 per year and there is a small ground rent of £50.
The location is a major strength: excellent local schools, strong transport links including Sutton Coldfield station, and immediate access to town amenities. However, local area indicators show higher crime and deprivation levels; prospective purchasers should consider this alongside the property’s many conveniences.
