This bright one-bedroom first-floor apartment sits within a mid‑century brick block on the Kings Norton / Bournville border. The open-plan living/dining room enjoys a pleasant outlook over well-tended communal lawns and delivers light, comfortable space suited to a single occupant or couple. The flat is offered in tidy, move‑in condition and has an EPC rating of C.
Practical long-term benefits include a very long lease (approx. 948 years) and a garage in a separate block. Heating is by mains gas boiler and radiators; broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent. Nearby amenities, good transport links and several well-regarded schools make the location particularly convenient for first-time buyers.
Notable running costs and maintenance points are straightforward: there is an average annual service charge of around £1,200 and the building’s double glazing was installed before 2002. The apartment is compact (about 549 sq ft) with average-sized rooms, so storage and living space are limited compared with larger homes.
Overall this is a sensible, low-risk purchase for someone seeking an affordable starter home or a buy-to-let with long lease security and pleasant communal grounds. Buyers wanting extensive modernisation or larger accommodation should allow for potential upgrades or consider properties with more internal space.
