This ground-floor apartment offers straightforward, affordable entry into Kings Heath living. The open-plan lounge/kitchen and two double bedrooms (one with en-suite) make it a practical home for first-time buyers or a buy-to-let opportunity. With allocated off-street parking and no upward chain the property is easy to move into.
The flat measures about 636 sq ft and sits in a modern block built between 2007–2011. The long lease (983 years) removes a common leasehold concern; heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and double glazing is fitted. Local green spaces and Kings Heath High Street are a short drive away, with regular bus links to Birmingham city centre.
Buyers should note the material facts: this is a leasehold flat with an annual service charge around £1,400 and slow broadband speeds reported. The surrounding area is classified as very deprived, with average local crime levels—an important consideration for families and some investors. Council tax is described as cheap, which helps running costs.
Overall, this is a sensible, well-presented ground-floor apartment for someone prioritising convenience, low entry price (£140,000) and a long lease. It suits a first-time buyer wanting manageable modern accommodation or an investor seeking a straightforward rental unit, provided they are comfortable with the neighbourhood profile and service charge level.
