This top-floor two-bedroom flat on Ridgacre Road offers an accessible entry into Birmingham’s housing market. Chain-free and set within a mid-20th-century block, the apartment provides a spacious lounge/diner, fitted kitchen/diner, two double bedrooms and a separate WC — all arranged over an average-sized 802 sq ft footprint. The property faces communal lawns and benefits from good natural light to the front aspect.
Practical running costs are modest: a remaining lease of 88 years, low annual ground rent (£10) and a below-average service charge (approx. £280). Local amenities and transport are strong selling points — quick links into Birmingham city centre, nearby Harborne High Street and frequent bus routes — making this a convenient base for work or leisure. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, and local crime levels are low.
The flat is presented in basic, mid-20th-century condition and will suit buyers willing to modernise. The interior features dated décor and carpets, and the kitchen and bathroom are functional but in need of updating to meet contemporary tastes. These works represent an opportunity to add value for a first-time buyer or landlord looking for a straightforward refurbishment project.
Buyers should note the lease length (88 years) and confirm tenure details with legal advisers. Overall, this property is a sensible, affordable option for someone seeking a convenient, well-located two-bedroom flat with scope to personalise and improve.
