Set within eight acres of landscaped parkland, this top‑floor mansion‑style apartment offers generous living across approximately 1,208 sq ft. A large living/dining room opens to a private balcony with peaceful garden views; four double bedrooms and high ceilings retain a strong sense of period character. The block is managed with lifts, communal parking, a resident caretaker and updated CCTV, creating a secure, well‑maintained environment.
Practical running costs are partly predictable: the service charge covers heating and water (from the estate’s artesian well), lifts, grounds maintenance and building insurance. The long lease (around 962 years remaining) and modest ground rent provide tenure security. With quick access to Birmingham city centre and motorway links, the home suits families wanting sizeable bedrooms and easy commuting.
There are some material points to note. The annual service charge is relatively high (£6,866) and the local area scores as more deprived in wider statistics; schools nearby include a mix of independent options and at least one state primary needing improvement. The building dates from the 1930s and walls are assumed to be solid brick with no added insulation, so buyers wanting modern thermal performance may consider retrofit works.
Overall this is a rare four‑bed top‑floor apartment in a landmark Edgbaston development. It’s offered with no onward chain and will appeal to families seeking space, period features and secure communal grounds, or to investors targeting a distinctive property with strong location fundamentals.
