Summary - Apartment 2 Century House, 100, Stratford Road, Shirley B90 3BH
2 bed 2 bath Apartment
First-floor two-bedroom flat with open-plan living and parking, ideal for first-time buyers or investors.
Open-plan kitchen/diner/lounge with large windows and good natural light
A deceptively spacious two-double-bedroom first-floor flat arranged around a large open-plan kitchen/diner and living area. Large windows flood the main room with natural light and the layout includes a useful store cupboard, an ensuite to the principal bedroom and a separate family bathroom. Offered at £140,000 and extending to around 567 sq ft, the property suits a first-time buyer or investor seeking central Shirley convenience.
Practical positives include an allocated parking bay, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, plus immediate access to Shirley High Street amenities and nearby transport links including fast routes to the M42. The building is a 1970s brick block with large windows and a flat roof — solid but typical of its era.
Buyers should note material facts: the property is leasehold (check remaining term and service charges), heating is by electric storage heaters and the building appears to be a converted commercial block from the 1970s. Crime in the area is recorded as very high, which will be a consideration for families or security-focused purchasers. The flat is compact at 567 sq ft and may require cosmetic updating or maintenance depending on buyer expectations.
For investors the combination of central location, low council tax and one allocated parking bay could support rental demand, but factor in leasehold costs, potential refurbishment and the local crime profile. First-time buyers may value the affordable asking price and convenient local services, but should budget for higher running costs from electric heating and check all lease and management details before committing.
