A compact ground-floor one-bedroom apartment occupying a prominent corner spot directly opposite Edgbaston Reservoir. The flat benefits from large windows with reservoir views, allocated off-street parking and immediate access to reservoir walkways — a rare convenience for inner-city living.
The accommodation extends to approximately 435 sq ft and is offered chain free with a long lease of around 155 years. The interior is presented in sensible, move-in-ready condition with double glazing; heating is by electric room heaters. Service charge averages around £1,400 per year. The property will be sold via Modern Method of Auction — buyers should note the non-refundable reservation fee and Buyer Information Pack requirements.
This home is well suited to investors or single professionals seeking a low-maintenance, city-edge investment with strong rental appeal and easy transport links. It also suits someone wanting a compact home with scenic waterside outlooks and allocated parking.
Important drawbacks are stated plainly: the area records higher-than-average crime and deprivation levels, heating is electric (no central gas), and communal service charges apply. The auction route means buyers must allow for the 56-day reservation process and additional fees — check the Buyer Information Pack and seek mortgage advice before bidding.
