Practical features include electric underfloor heating with thermostatic controls in every room and heated towel rails in both wet rooms.

Heating is electric underfloor, which is efficient for distribution but uses electricity as the primary fuel.
This apartment will appeal to downsizers seeking low‑maintenance, well-specified accommodation close to Bournville village amenities, public transport links and local healthcare. It’s presented for immediate occupation with minimal updating required, though running costs and service charges should be considered alongside purchase price.
