This well-presented ground-floor apartment sits at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Acocks Green, offered with no upward chain and a very long lease (approx. 934 years). The layout is practical: lounge with bay window, fitted kitchen, two good-sized bedrooms and a bathroom. A separate garage space and a front garden add useful outdoor and storage benefits that are rare at this price point.
The flat is compact at around 527 sq ft, so it will suit first-time buyers, downsizers or investors looking for a low-maintenance urban home with reliable broadband and very low local crime. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing is double-glazed (installed before 2002), which will be adequate but less efficient than modern gas systems.
Service charge is modest — vendor advises approximately £25 per month (verification recommended) — and council tax sits in Band A, keeping ongoing costs low. The building dates from the mid-20th century and presents as tidy and cared-for, though buyers seeking modern mechanicals or higher-efficiency heating should budget for potential upgrades.
Overall this property offers immediate move-in potential, sensible running costs and long-term security through the extensive lease. It’s a compact, practical choice for someone prioritising location, low upkeep and ownership ease rather than large living spaces.
