This well-presented first-floor flat offers a compact, move-in-ready layout in a mid-20th-century block close to local shops and transport links into Birmingham city centre. The apartment includes a double bedroom, bathroom, modern fitted kitchen, bright living room and a private balcony overlooking maintained communal grounds — a sensible choice for a first purchase or buy-to-let.
Practical benefits include double glazing, excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and a garage in a separate block with private residents’ parking. The lease has c.123 years remaining, giving long-term security, and council tax sits at the lower Band A level.
Be clear about the costs and limitations: annual service charges are approximately £3,699 and heating is electric room heaters rather than a gas central system. The building dates from the 1950s–1960s and has cavity walls likely without insulation, which could affect running costs and might be worth addressing in future improvement plans.
Located in a mixed neighbourhood popular with young families and students, the flat suits a buyer seeking convenient urban living and rental potential rather than a quiet suburban retreat. Nearby amenities include schools, shops and bus routes, making day-to-day life straightforward for a new homeowner.
