This chain-free first-floor flat offers practical living in Smallwood, about one mile from Redditch town centre. The layout includes two double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes), a generous living room and a modern fitted kitchen with integrated gas hob and oven. A single bathroom with overhead shower completes the accommodation.
The property benefits from an allocated parking space to the rear, double glazing, mains gas central heating and an EPC rating of B. The long lease (approximately 126 years remaining) and modest overall size (around 625 sq ft) make it suitable for first-time buyers or buy-to-let investors seeking a low-entry option in a well-connected location with straightforward motorway access (M5/M42) and good public transport links.
Notable drawbacks are factual: the building sits in an area with higher-than-average crime and relative deprivation, and local broadband speeds are reported as slow. The glazing and building date (1996–2002) indicate some original fabric elements; while the flat is described as well presented, buyers should still satisfy themselves on heating, electrics and any communal maintenance obligations. Council tax is described as low, but the tenure is leasehold so purchasers should review lease terms and any service charges.
Overall this is a practical, ready-to-move-into property for someone seeking affordable ownership or rental potential close to local shops, schools and transport. The combination of no onward chain, allocated parking and a long lease are definite positives, balanced by the need to accept local area challenges and check service details before purchase.
