This two-bedroom second-floor apartment offers vacant possession and no upward chain, making it an accessible option for first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward purchase. The layout includes a master bedroom with en suite, a family bathroom, a living room with Juliet balcony, and a modern fitted kitchen — practical living with low immediate maintenance required.
The property is on a modern development built in the early 2000s and benefits from UPVC double glazing, electric convection heaters and allocated off-street parking. The long lease (approximately 137 years remaining) and an EPC rating of C support mortgageability and future resale prospects. Communal gardens and visitor parking add useful outside space for residents.
Important considerations: heating is electric only (no gas central heating), and the area records high crime and significant deprivation; buyers should consider local safety and insurance implications. Annual costs include ground rent (£400 pa) and a service charge averaging around £1,522.73 pa, which covers estate management and maintenance. Broadband speeds are average but mobile signal is excellent.
Transport links are strong for commuting, with quick access to the A34 and nearby Bloxwich train station served by the Chase Line. Local schools rated Good are within walking distance, and nearby amenities include shops, canal-side walks and local businesses. Overall, this flat suits a buyer looking for an affordable, low-entry home or a landlord targeting rental demand near transport hubs.
