This compact two-bedroom apartment on Ashwood Close offers an affordable entry into Oldbury’s property market, suited to first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors. Built in the early 2000s, the flat has a long remaining lease (approx. 130 years), modern double glazing, and low council tax, keeping running costs down.
The layout is efficient: an open kitchen/living area, two bedrooms and a bathroom within approximately 431 sq ft. Electric storage heating and good mobile and broadband connectivity suit tenants or owners who value low external maintenance and easy connectivity. The building appears well-presented with modern brickwork and low-maintenance communal areas.
Buyers should note the apartment’s compact size and single bathroom; internal space is limited and measurements should be rechecked. Heating is electric storage; energy costs may be higher than gas-heated homes. The property sits in an area with higher crime rates and medium flooding risk, and the wider neighbourhood is relatively deprived—factors to weigh for owner-occupiers and investors.
For investors, the long lease, solid rental demand in private-renting areas and quick connections make this a practical purchase. For first-time buyers seeking a low-cost step onto the ladder, this property provides a straightforward, low-upkeep base — but it’s best appreciated in person to judge space and condition.
