This first-floor two-bedroom maisonette on Alcester Road South offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Kings Heath. At about 603 sq ft with an EPC C and a separate rear garage, it suits first-time buyers, buy-to-let investors, or downsizers looking for low running council tax and a convenient suburban location.
The accommodation is straightforward and well presented: a bright reception room, fitted kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. Laminate floors and neutral decoration make it move-in ready while the walk-in cupboard in one bedroom and the garage provide useful storage — rare for a flat of this size.
There are practical constraints to note: the property is leasehold (125-year term from 2018) with ground rent ~£396 pa and a low service charge ~£68 pa. Heating relies on electric room heaters rather than a central gas system, so running costs and comfort in colder months may be higher than modern gas-heated homes. The overall internal size is modest and the area shows higher-than-average crime statistics and local deprivation indicators.
Location is a strong selling point: Kings Heath high street’s shops, cafés and frequent bus links into Birmingham city centre are within reach, plus several well-rated primary and secondary schools nearby. Broadband speeds are fast, making the flat suitable for home working or student tenants. With some updating to heating and ongoing attention to security, this maisonette provides good value for buyers seeking an affordable foothold in a popular south-Birmingham suburb.
