This penthouse occupies over 3,300 sq ft in a converted red‑brick building in Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, combining loft-scale volume with refined contemporary finishes. The apartment offers direct lift access, underfloor heating, real wood floors and two large en‑suite bedrooms — plus the unusual convenience of a private garage and a long lease (991 years).
The open-plan living and kitchen area is exceptionally large, suited to flexible layouts for entertaining or workspace. Character features such as high factory-style windows and exposed beams bring strong natural light and city views, while modern services installed in 2022 keep running costs efficient (EPC B).
Buyers should note practical considerations honestly: the property sits in a high-crime, economically deprived neighbourhood and council tax sits at the upper band (G). The service charge is approximately £3,140 per year. The apartment’s vast scale with just two bedrooms may suit buyers seeking executive, showroom or pied-à-terre living rather than a traditional family layout.
Overall, this is a rare, chain‑free penthouse for someone prioritising space, character and central convenience, but it is best suited to buyers comfortable with an urban, inner‑city setting and the associated costs and local context.
