Summary - THE BARNS, 43 APARTMENT 9 ST FRANCIS DRIVE BIRMINGHAM B30 3AL
2 bed 1 bath Apartment
Affordable, low-maintenance starter home with parking and communal garden.
511 sq ft compact two-bedroom apartment
A compact, well-presented two-bedroom apartment on the first floor, offering efficient living space and modern finishes. The open-plan living area and principal bedroom with ensuite maximise usable space, making the layout ideal for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking low-maintenance accommodation. Communal lawn and allocated residents' parking add practical outdoor and parking convenience in a tidy, red-brick development.
Important leasehold costs are present: about 81 years remaining on the lease, an annual service charge around £2,300 and ground rent of £300. The apartment’s 511 sq ft footprint is modest and will suit those prioritising location and affordability over generous room sizes. Crime levels in the area are above average, so consider security and insurance costs.
The building dates from the late 2000s and benefits from double glazing, gas central heating and an EPC B rating. Broadband and mobile signals are strong and local schools include several highly rated options nearby. Overall this is a practical starter home or rental purchase that delivers convenience and low upkeep, but buyers should factor in lease length and ongoing charges when assessing long-term value.
