This ground-floor one-bedroom apartment offers an affordable, chain-free entry into Birmingham with easy access to the city centre and Moseley Village. The open-plan sitting room and fitted kitchen create a light, contemporary living space, and an allocated off-street parking space is a practical bonus for drivers. With a long lease (194 years) and EPC rating D, it's suited to first-time buyers or investors seeking a straightforward, low-maintenance home.
The property has electric room heaters and double glazing; heating is electric only, which can increase running costs compared with gas. The building charges an average service charge of £1,395 per year and council tax is low (Band A). The immediate area is classified as very deprived with higher-than-average crime levels, so buyers should weigh location-related factors alongside the price and accessibility benefits.
Internally the bathroom is a shower room and the kitchen includes integrated appliances (fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven and hob). The apartment is compact (approximately 403 sq ft) with standard ceiling heights—suitable for single occupancy, a couple, or a rental let. No chain and long lease reduce transactional friction.
Consider this flat if you prioritise affordability, proximity to transport and amenities, and minimal refurbishment work. If lower running costs or quieter neighbourhood profile are priorities, factor in potential higher electricity bills and local area indicators when deciding to view.
