A bright second-floor apartment in the heart of Lichfield, ideal for a first-time buyer using 50% shared ownership. The living room opens onto a balcony with direct views of Lichfield Cathedral, creating a memorable outlook from a compact urban home. Allocated off-street parking, secure communal entry and easy access to Lichfield City station make this a practical commuter base.
The layout includes a dining kitchen, living room, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, with the master bedroom offering an en-suite. The building is modern (built 2007–2011) and the flat benefits from UPVC double glazing and quick broadband/mobile signals — useful for working from home.
Important considerations: the property is leasehold with 81 years remaining and a shared-ownership rent of approximately £393.63 per month. There is an average service charge of around £1,560 annually (about £130/month). Heating is electric with wall-mounted electric heaters and room heaters, so running costs will be higher than gas-heated homes.
This apartment suits first-time buyers wanting central Lichfield living and cathedral views without the full purchase price. It also offers scope to stair-case to 100% ownership in future. Prospective buyers should factor in lease length, monthly rent, service charges and electric heating costs when budgeting.
